Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sulzinski, Michael A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
A novel approach is described using primary literature manuscripts for the final examination of an upper level undergraduate course in virology. This innovative technique was applied as an alternative to a core comprehensive final examination. A recent primary literature paper in virology was assigned several weeks before the end of the semester.…
