A full module exploring proteomics and long COVID through a scaffolded, in-depth analysis of a primary literature article.
Topic: Immunology
Audience: Advanced undergraduate students, introductory graduate students
Resource type: Full module, CREATE Method
Module outline: 12 lessons over ~ 4 weeks
Primary literature analyzed: Persistent serum protein signatures define an inflammatory subcategory of long COVID by Talla et al. (2023)
Description:
This 4-week module uses the CREATE method (Hoskins et al., 2007) to walk students through a scaffolded approach to reading Persistent serum protein signatures define an inflammatory subcategory of long COVID by Talla et al. (2023). Rather than read the paper in its entirety all at once, students walk through the paper section-by-section, completing worksheets and discussing with their peers along the way.
Throughout the module, students analyze the following methods:
This module consists of 12 lessons. We encourage you to remix and customize these lessons to fit the needs of your course. See the instructor guide for more details about alternative ways to teach this module, including abridged versions. Several lessons contain worksheets for students to walk through different sections of the paper.
