Some suggestions for reviewing the class from previous TAs.
Diseases
o Biology
of disease, symptoms, pathogenesis, reproduction, etc.?
o What
kind of organism causes it?
o How
is it transmitted? (direct, waterborne,
vector, what vector?)
o Can
we treat this disease, how? Is it curable? Preventable?
o How
does this disease affect humans? What
kind of host are we for it?
o How
does ecology of host affect transmission, what happens when this ecology
changes?
Definitions
o
Use the Glossary to review the terms covered and
their definitions.
o
You are responsible for all terms in the
glossary that we covered in class, (I took a quick look and the only terms I see that we didn't cover this year are Endogenous retrovirus and retrovirus, plus Hantavirus
cardiopulmonary syndrome and Hantavirus 'sin nombre'.
o
Think about the context in which we learned each
term: what disease were we studying? What concepts in epidemiology or ecology
were we discussing? What other diseases does the term relate to?
Concepts/Themes
o
Review how diseases relate to the theme of the
week in which they were covered. Do any diseases relate to themes covered in other weeks, how so?
o
Refer back to the Short Answer section of the
Midterm and the quizzes to review concepts.
o
Are there any diagrams used in lecture or
reading which demonstrate and relate concepts?
Timeline
o
Create a timeline to review when disease
outbreaks and scientific discoveries happened, and when people were doing their
work. More than specific dates, focus on
reviewing the context in which events/people were working, and when they were
working relative to other’s work and other historical events.
