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.
