The document provides instructions for an assignment to create classes for a disease and patient file repository. The key tasks are:
1. Copy and modify existing classes from a previous assignment (Exposure, Patient, Disease subclasses) to allow serialization.
2. Create new classes - DiseaseAndPatient to hold disease and patient arrays, DiseaseFileRepository to initialize/save arrays, tests for the repository class with 95% coverage.
3. Modify an existing interface and implementation (DiseaseControlManager) to use the new repository for initialization and saving.
The document provides details on required methods, properties, and testing for the new classes. It aims to have the code serialize disease and patient data to files using the repository
