Participation Activity 2

Impact of Substance Exposures on the Developing Fetus (Lecture 7): As marijuana is being decriminalized and legalized in more places, use has increased. Additionally, some women report using it to treat morning sickness. Based on the readings, what do you think about its use? Write a paragraph clearly stating your opinion and cite class readings.

Instructions for Participation Activities:

The instructions for participation activities are detailed in full in your syllabus – important points are as follows:

• Write a paragraph response between 350-500 words in length
• Indicate which reading or what course content you are using for your answer (does not need to be a formal citation)
• Each participation activity is graded on a scale of 0-10 points (2 points for readability/spelling/grammar, 4 points for fully answering the question, and 4 points for including info from your reading)
• Your 2 lowest participation activity grades will be dropped so your top 6 out of 8 activities will count toward your final grade
• The due date will be clearly marked on the syllabus and in brightspace.
• Make sure that you are answering the prompt question and not simply summarizing the readings or lecture content
• Clearly indicate when you are using a course reading to support an idea so that you receive credit for the third section of the rubric (e.g., “As discussed in the Zeanah chapter…”)
• For Activity 2 (and all activities going forward), use the readings from the due date for the activity. So for Participation Activity 2, due on 2/10, use the required and/or optional readings from the “Impact of Substance Exposures on the Developing Fetus” lecture.
