Critical Thinking Project Guidelines
Part 1: due Thursday, February 22, 11:59 PM (50 points) (Goode Ch. 3, 4, and 7)
Part 1 of the critical thinking project requires you to begin researching the drug on which you will focus.
The first step is focusing on the core issues and concepts we are discussing in class. Defining something as a drug and understanding the significance of the idea of "drugs" being "social constructs", as well as exploring why people use drugs. So, in this first part of your project, you need to discuss these issues and concepts.
Your project should be saved as a MS Word (.docx) document and submitted via the assignment link ("Critical Thinking Project Part 1") in Module 2 found in our Canvas course site.
