Using a News Event to Practice Self-Directed Investigation: The Case of Hemorrhagic Fever

On December 18, 2021, “hemorrhagic fever” appeared in the news, and it was thought to be related to eating strawberries. In this practice, based on the epidemic, we instructed students to conduct self-investigation on hemorrhagic fever and Hantavirus, and guided students to perform an objective analysis of “hemorrhagic fever.” This increases students’ motivation for active learning and interest in the course, and also improves students’ ability to obtain information and scientifically analyze the occurrence of epidemics.
