| Summary: | Introducing undergraduate students to major human diseases is a key focus of many parasitology courses. Here I present a multifaceted active learning technique that familiarizes students with major human parasitic diseases while simultaneously exposing students to a range of important medical, biological, and ecological concepts. This approach involves a combination of reading and analysis of primary literature, oral presentations and in-class discussions, films, and microscopy skills and could be modified for a range of different courses and teaching styles. |
