    The document provides instructions for a biology class assignment on preparing for a lecture about the scientific process. Students are asked to complete prior study questions, read a textbook section, and analyze a research abstract about the diagnosis of the Elephant Man's condition. In the abstract, researchers determined he likely had Proteus syndrome rather than the original diagnosis, based on clinical findings described in historical records rather than new experiments. Students must also define terms related to his symptoms.
