Here is the recording link from 4/3/25 - if you have any issues completing the virtual lab, you can watch our example from class and use those results as your own for this assignment. We went over all of the questions in this assignment during the class activity. #4 below involves you completing a virtual lab activity independently. If you have any trouble with the activity, follow the directions below to watch my video version.

Remember that the Disease Diary question at the end of the assignment is also worth a big part of your score.
