Course description edit

This is a sports medicine course for students pursuing certification in athletic training. It focuses on current issues related to the legal, social, economic, ethical, and medicinal use of performance-enhancing drugs in society.

Assignment overview edit

Students will be divided into 6 different groups, each containing 4 students. They will be assigned a topic related to performance-enhancing drugs in society and assigned as the "proponent" or "opponent" for that topic. Students will then complete a series of projects based on their assigned topic and role, including:

  • a formal argument paper supported by factual research with a minimum of 10 credible sources;
  • an oral presentation of the argument in the form of a debate between the proponent and opponent, including the use of supporting visuals; and
  • a writing collaborative between the proponent and the opponent to formulate an unbiased, encyclopedic article to Wikipedia.
