Milestone Activity 3
What do I want you to do?
For your third milestone activity, you are asked to respond to the following question: which of the stimulant drugs covered in this course represents the biggest threat to public health? In answering this question, you should draw upon course material in addition to relevant external resources. Your answer should provide concrete data where possible and be persuasive in nature. You may want to approach this assignment as if you are trying to convince someone who is skeptical of your conclusion by providing them with data and reasoned arguments for why this drug represents a bigger threat than the other stimulants covered in this module. You response should be 5-7 double-spaced, typed pages (12 point font, one-inch margins all around) saved in a Microsoft Word compatible file format. Be sure to include both in-text citations and a reference list for all external resources consulted in completing this assignment. Guidelines for APA citation style can be found on the Purdue OWL website or at the APA style website.
By completing this assignment, you will be making comparisons across the various stimulant drugs and conducting research to collect relevant information to support an argument. Being able to construct an argument and support it with relevant data is an invaluable skill that hones your critical thinking, research, and written communication skills.
