What makes your source high quality and credible.
STEP 1: Review the scenario for Assignment 2 in Chapter 6 of the webtext.
Scenario: You are a research assistant at a firm that invests in pharmaceuticals. Your manager asks you to write a report about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir, an antiviral drug that your firm is considering for investment. This report should be based on an appropriate and credible source of information. Furthermore, your report should contain these points of information:
- What makes your source high quality and credible.
- Remdesivir’s effectiveness in treating COVID-19.
- How we know whether it is effective or not.
- The dose and course of treatment of remdesivir.
- Adverse effects associated with remdesivir and any limitations in the study.
Your manager has also requested some key details about remdesivir. Your source of information should describe the amount of remdesivir given to patients (called a “dose” or “dosage”) and how long patients are treated with the drug (sometimes called a “course”). This will help your firm estimate the drug’s future pricing and choose whether to invest in it. Finally, your source should describe any adverse side effects associated with the drug and any limitations on the study itself, because these factors can affect a drug’s success in the market.
STEP 2: Complete the questions that follow the scenario in Chapter 6 of the webtext.
STEP 3: Download the completed assignment from Chapter 6 of the webtext.
Explain how the drug’s effectiveness was tested.
Skill(s) Being Assessed: Problem Solving
Criteria for Success: In this assignment, you will:
- Explain why the NEJM is a credible and high quality source.
- Summarize the findings about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir.
- Explain how the drug’s effectiveness was tested.
- Provide the dosage of remdesivir and for how long it was administered.
- Describe any safety concerns surrounding the drug, especially any adverse side effects.
- Describe any limitations in the study itself.
What to submit/deliverables: Assessment questions completed in Chapter 6 of the webtext and downloaded into a Word document that gets uploaded to Assignment 2 in Week 6 of Blackboard.
What is the value of doing this assignment? This assignment gives you an opportunity to practice the skill of problem solving. It will show that you can identify credible sources of information and compare and contrast results across varying studies in order to solve a problem and make a well-informed decision. It will also show that you can identify sampling, measurements, and analysis in a scientific study. The ability to interpret scientific information from a variety of sources is essential in order to make important decisions in everyday life. Problem solving is a universal skill and one you will continue to refine as you progress throughout your career. This assignment asks you to use what you’ve learned in Weeks 3–6 of the course about examining scientific research for solving real-world problems.
Worried about where to start? The good news is that you’ve already laid the foundation with the webtext activities in Chapters 4 and 5. This assignment will apply what you learned in those activities.
Your goal for this assignment is to: Practice your problem-solving skill. You will do this by answering questions in Chapter 6 of the webtext as you are guided through a process of selecting the best source of information about treating COVID-19 with the drug remdesivir. You will ultimately select a source of information and analyze it for study design, sample size, and conclusions.

Miami-South University (“MSU”), located in downtown Ft. Lauderdale, is a new member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, competing in “big-time” Division I intercollegiate athletics. You are assistant to the president of the university and two issues have arisen.
First, the university president has directed the university’s Public Relations Office to develop a promotional video to be shown around the country. As part of the video, the public relations office includes clips from exciting college football games between Florida State University and the University of Florida, taped by the assistant public relations manager off of the CBS television broadcasts of the games – the idea being that since Miami-South will be playing these teams, fans can see the quality of play that they can expect. The president, who is a big Kanye West fan, also directs the PR Office to use the song “Stronger” throughout the video.
Second, the university president wishes to make a big splash in the marketing of this athletic program and so he tells you that he will be changing the name of the mascot to the Dolphins – the school will now be known as the “Miami-South Dolphins” on all promotional materials. He wants the school to use the term “Go Fish!” as part of the marketing campaign.
write a report (1) outlining the research that you have found, providing your analysis of whether the school is in compliance with Title IX based on the federal government’s three-part test
For this report, you are to examine a university athletic department and determine if it is
complying with Title IX and, if not, how to get the school in compliance.
Select a Division I university in the Big Ten Conference. Research that school’s student population numbers, male-female student population ratios, student-athlete numbers and male- female student-athlete ratios. You also will want to research that school’s athletic facilities for men and women, coaching staffing, and travel schedules.
Next, write a report (1) outlining the research that you have found, providing your analysis of whether the school is in compliance with Title IX based on the federal government’s three-part test, specifically applying each element of that test to the facts, and (3) providing your recommendations moving forward to assure that institution’s compliance with Title IX.
