Module 7: Epidemic Modeling with the Scientific Method

Learning Objective: In this module, you will design and build a program that models the spread of a contagious disease through some population. You can choose the disease, an appropriate affected population, and the model’s specific parameters. The scientific method will be used to analyze the model by forming a hypothesis and testing that hypothesis.

While the coding portion of the module isn't due until the end of the module, it is always best to review the programming challenges and extensions at the beginning of the week, ask questions about them and start coding.
