WHY? (LEARNING OUTCOMES): We will use video discussions in this course (meet Course Outcomes #1, 2, 3, 4). Using video discussions provides an easy way for you to apply course information and self-reflect—valuable study methods to foster learning. As an alternate e-tivity assignment, you can choose ALT 1 E-tivity: Haiku.

HOW? (INSTRUCTIONS): You will write a Haiku on one of the psychoactive substances (alcohol, anxiolytics, caffeine, psychomotor stimulants, opioids, antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, cannabis, or hallucinogens). The haiku will focus on specific concept of this drug of your choice. In addition, you will need to describe/explain your reasoning of the development of the haiku relating it to the course material in the module.

A Haiku is a special 17 syllabus poem that does not rhyme and follows the following syllabus distribution: 5 7 5.

Here is an example of a Haiku I wrote about psychopharmacology:
