Drug Research Project

REQUIREMENTS
Create a PowerPoint (or use google slides) on any of the drugs thoroughly discussed in the
book. If you would like to do your research project on a drug that is not discussed (not just
written in a chart) in the book, you must email me and ask for permission BEFORE completing
the assignment. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rubric for this assignment. All
assignments must be saved and attached as “.ppt” file. If your assignment is not submitted
in this format, it will receive no credit, and no second attempt will be allowed.

Your presentation should cover the following questions (at minimum):


Drug Classification and category schedule Short & Long-term side effects

History of the drug (Where it originates & original uses. Withdrawal Symptoms
How and when it was discovered)

Routes of Transmission (how one takes it) Effects of overdose & Treatment procedures

Type of Dependence (Physical and/or Psychological) Street Cost

Street Names Reference page with properly cited citations.

You must use a minimum of two reliable sources that are NOT the textbook. You may use the
textbook as a third source if you so choose.

CITING YOUR SOURCES:

Please make sure to cite any information that is not your own (in APA format). All sources need
to be have written within the past TEN years. If you are still unsure how to properly cite and
find/use reliable sources, I strongly recommend you read the site below thoroughly. You should
have in-text citations on every slide where any information is not your own and also include a
reference slide at the end. A great source to utilize is
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

If you submit this assignment without the correct and proper citation of resources
(including in-text citations), you will automatically receive a ZERO since it will be
plagiarism, whether intentional or not.

*** You may also send me your project to review before submitting. Please do so no later than
12 hours before the assignment is due to give me and you ample time to look over it and make
any necessary changes. ***

● .com sites
● magazine cites (men’s health, self, cosmo etc)
