Course Description:
This course examines how humans in different societies around the world use exogenous
chemicals to change psychology, biology, and behavior, and what positive and negative
consequences this has for human health. It will explore how such chemical technologies arise
through cultural evolution, how different societies decide what are appropriate and inappropriate
uses of such technologies, how these technologies change what is considered normal biological
functioning and behavior, and how these technologies shape human health. 

Course Goals: The course aims to introduce students to basic concepts and tools in two related
fields—medical anthropology and epidemiology—that can be applied to understand health-
related behaviors and improve the provision of care and health care policy.

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1) Outline key theories for how social, cultural and biological factors interact in shaping drug
use.
2) Apply tools from medical anthropology to determine what factors are most important in
shaping drug use in different cultural contexts.
3) Apply tools from epidemiology to identify how drug use shapes health and disease.

This is a demanding self-paced course. To succeed, students must be ready to devote


substantial time each day to the readings, written assignments, and Canvas discussions.

Pre-requisites/Co-requisites/Anti-requisites: Minimum 45 earned hours

Required Course Texts/ Readings:


Courtwright, D. (2001). Forces of Habit: Drugs and the Making of the Modern World. Cambridge: Harvard
University Press.
Goode, E. (editions 7,8,9 or 10 are OK). Drugs in American Society, McGraw-Hill.

Course Format:
The content of the course is based on lectures and readings. Assessments include weekly
assignments and quizzes. The purpose of lectures will be to review the major conceptual points
of each new topic and to integrate and expand on the reading material. Quizzes and writing
assignments are intended to assess whether you have completed the reading assignments and
understood the basic concepts from the readings and class.
The course consists of two parts. In Part 1, we will examine how drugs are defined and
what social, cultural and biological factors shape drug use. This will lay a groundwork for Part 2,
where we examine how drug use has positive and negative consequences on human health.

Coursework
Final grades for the course will be based on a total of 150 points assigned on the basis of
the following.

 6 Short Written Assignments: Each is worth 10 points. (10 points x 6 assignments = 60


points of final grade)
 6 quizzes: 10 points each, based on multiple choice, true/false and short answers (10
points x 6 quizzes = 60 points of final grade).
 3 methods activities: 15 points each will give you experience with basic interview
methods (10 points x 3 activities = 30 points of final grade).

These quizzes and assignments are designed to let me know: a) if you understand the information
presented in the lessons, b) that you have done the readings, and c) that you are able to apply what you’ve
learned about medical anthropology to the study of health problems.

For your own protection, you should keep a copy of everything you hand in, and you should
keep your graded assignments at least until grades are finalized at the end of the semester, and
in the event you wish to contest any grades.

Final Grades Final grades are assessed according to the % of total points achieved:

A+ 99-100% Excellent +
A 93-98.9% Excellent
A- 90-92.9% Excellent -
B+ 87-89.9% Good +
B 83-86.9% Good
B- 80-82.9% Good -
C 70-79.9% Fair
D 60-69.9% Passing
E <60% Failure
XE Failure due to Academic Dishonesty

1. Quizzes (6 quizzes x 10 points = 60 points)
Due Dates: Due dates for the quizzes are described in the syllabus below. Quizzes completed after that
date will be penalized a letter grade or more, unless appropriate documentation is provided (see policy on
late assignments)

Quiz Format: The quizzes will include multiple choice, true/false, and short answers. They will cover
materials covered in lectures and readings for the assigned lessons. Quizzes are non-cumulative. Although
this is an open book format, it is a timed one, so you should prepare for the quiz as you would any quiz.
In other words, when you look at the lectures and do the readings, make notes and organize them so that
you are able to refer back to them quickly when you are taking the quiz. Pay particular attention to any
topics I cover in the individual lessons (both slides and supplemental text).

For each quiz, you will answer 8 multiple choice and true/false questions drawn randomly from a larger
pool of questions (Given this randomization, no two students are likely to have the same quiz.). It will
also involve one or two short answer questions.

Once you begin, you must complete the quiz within a 25-minute time limit. BE CAREFUL! Do not start
the quiz until you are sure you have uninterrupted time available and a reliable Internet connection. The
quiz will show you one question at a time. Once you have submitted an answer for that question, you
will not be able to return to make a change. You will not be able to back-track.

Quiz re-set due to server crash: In the unlikely event that your computer crashes or the connection fails
while you are taking the quiz, please e-mail Dr. Hruschka immediately so that we can reset the quiz. I will
e-mail you to let you know that the quiz has been re-set. You will receive only one reset for any quiz. (It
will NOT be the exact same quiz - Canvas will automatically generate a new quiz.)

2. Written assignments (6 assignments x 10 points = 60 points)


Written assignments will involve answering questions designed for you to apply concepts from class to
real-world health issues. The 1-page limit will be strictly enforced. You may find it difficult to fit your
statement into the allotted space. This is because writing concisely is a difficult skill to master. It is also
an extremely useful skill. To successfully apply course concepts in the writing assignment, it is important
that you first complete the lessons for that week (The on-line readings are in .pdf format in the folder for
each lesson.)

Assignments must be submitted prior to the deadline noted below. No assignments will be accepted after
that deadline.

Assignment format: The total assignment length minimum is ¾-page and maximum is one page (double-
spaced, 1” margins, must be 12 point). There will be a half letter grade reduction for failing to follow
these guidelines. Avoid using large headers or a cover page that can cause the paper to exceed the one
page limit. References can be on a separate page. (Important: Save your file separately as a back-up
copy).

Assignment file name: Save the file with your name and the assignment number (e.g.: John Smith A1.)
Do not put any extra characters (such as # or : ) in the file names.

Uploading assignment on Canvas: You must submit written assignments to me through Canvas. Canvas
will only accept Word documents (.doc, .docx).

3. Methods activities (10 points each = 30 points). The three methods activities give you
first-hand experience using methods in medical anthropology and epidemiology that one can
use to understand how other people think about health and disease. For these activities, you
will need to identify another person, and collect data from that person based on instructions
provided on Canvas. You will then need to write up your results and submit as an assignment.
Due dates for the methods activities are noted below in the syllabus.

Extra Credit: There are two extra credit possibilities at the beginning of class.

a. Introduce Yourself on Canvas Discussion Group – 2 points (DUE by January 14, midnight Arizona
time)
Please introduce yourself on the Canvas discussion group (in the “Introductions” forum). Tell the class
your name and answer the following questions:

1) Where did you grow up?


2) What do you think is the most useful drug for improving human life?
3) What do you think is currently the most dangerous drug today?

b. Syllabus Statement Extra Credit – 1 points (DUE by January 14, midnight Arizona time)
You will receive 1 points added to your grade if you submit the following information to me in the
syllabus statement assignment box: your name and this statement: “I have read and accepted the
conditions in this syllabus.” It can only be submitted through the Module 0 assignment on Canvas, not
through e-mail. This exercise lets me know that you’ve read the syllabus, and know how to submit
assignments through Canvas. No syllabus statement points are available after the deadline.

Incompletes
A mark of "I" (incomplete) is given by the instructor when you have completed most of the
course and are otherwise doing acceptable work but are unable to complete the course
because of illness or other conditions beyond your control. You are required to arrange with the
instructor for the completion of the course requirements. The arrangement must be recorded on
the Request for Grade of Incomplete form (http://students.asu.edu/forms/incomplete-grade-
request). The instructor will not assign grades of “incomplete” except in the most unusual,
extreme circumstances of incapacitating illness, death of family members, or other university-
approved excuses. You must provide documentation of such circumstances from a medical
doctor, funeral home, or other appropriate authority. Moreover the student must have
completed 80% of course to be eligible for an incomplete.

Assignment Deadlines

Unless otherwise noted, assignments and quizzes are due at midnight AZ time. However, we highly
recommend submitting before 10pm AZ time, so Dr. Hruschka can respond if a problem arises during
submission. If you are in a different time zone (e.g. New York), Canvas may show that your assignment
is due a day later (e.g., June 3 at 3am instead of June 2 at midnight). In those cases you are still
responsible for submitting by the Arizona time (e.g. June 2 at midnight AZ time).

Policy on Late Assignments


You are required to complete all assignments and quizzes by the stated due dates. Unexcused
late assignments or quizzes will not be accepted. Excuses for an assignment or quiz must be
made and approved before the due date of the assignment.  Requests for excuses must be
written, either on paper or email, and approval must be obtained, either by an email reply or by
having the paper excuse signed. If there is an emergency that makes it impossible to submit an
4
Revised 1/5/2021

excuse prior to the assignment, than the student must provide documentation of the emergency
and justify why it was not possible to submit the excuse prior the assignment or quiz’s due date.
In order to get credit with the late assignment you must turn in a copy of the email approval or
signed written excuse. The instructor will not accept late assignments or quizzes except in the
most unusual, extreme circumstances of incapacitating illness, death of family members, or
other university-approved excuses. You must provide documentation of such circumstances
from a medical doctor, funeral home, or other appropriate authority.

Grade Questions and Appeals


Please do not use the comment section in your Canvas assignment to request clarification on grading.  
Rather contact your TA or Dr. Hruschka via email.

If you would like additional feedback on a grade or dispute the grade you receive for an assignment, you
may request to have it re-graded by Dr. Hruschka. You must first contact your TA (cc:ing Dr. Hruschka) to
discuss the grade you received so that you understand the rationale for the grade. Then, if you still wish
to dispute the grade, you may email Dr. Hruschka to request that your assignment be re-graded. If you
request re-grading, the second grade will stand, regardless of whether it is higher or lower than the
original grade. You may request re-grading up to three calendar days after an assignment has been
returned; re-grading requests after this time will not be considered. That is, if an assignment grade is
entered into the gradebook on Tuesday at noon, you have until Friday at noon to contact your TA via
email.  You then have another 3 days after your TA responds to contact Dr. Hruschka.

ASU has formal and informal channels to appeal a final grade. If you wish to appeal any grading
decisions, please see http://catalog.asu.edu/appeal.

Course Policies

To ensure that students receive timely communications, it is important that you use your ASU
email address and that you have set up your email system so that the instructor’s emails will not
accidentally be sent to the spam folder. The instructors’ email being sent to your spam folder is
not a valid excuse for missed communications. If you have any questions about this, please
contact ASU’s help desk.

Student Standards
Students are required to read and act in accordance with university and Arizona Board of Regents
policies, including:

The ABOR Code of Conduct: Arizona Board of Regents Policies 5-301 through 5-308:
https://students.asu.edu/srr

Academic Integrity

Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, laboratory work, academic
transactions and records. The possible sanctions include, but are not limited to, appropriate grade
penalties, course failure (indicated on the transcript as a grade of E), course failure due to academic
dishonesty (indicated on the transcript as a grade of XE), loss of registration privileges, disqualification
and dismissal.  For more information, see http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity.

If you fail to meet the standards of academic integrity in any of the criteria listed on the university policy
website, sanctions will be imposed by the instructor, school, and/or dean. Academic dishonesty includes
borrowing ideas without proper citation, copying others’ work (including information posted on the
internet), and failing to turn in your own work for group projects. Please be aware that if you follow an
argument closely, even if it is not directly quoted, you must provide a citation to the publication, including

5
Revised 1/5/2021
THIS CONTENT IS PROTECTED AND MAY NOT BE SHARED, UPLOADED, SOLD, OR DISTRIBUTED.
the author, date and page number. If you directly quote a source, you must use quotation marks and
provide the same sort of citation for each quoted sentence or phrase. You may work with other students
on assignments, however, all writing that you turn in must be done independently.  If you have any doubt
about whether the form of cooperation you contemplate is acceptable, ask the TA or the instructor in
advance of turning in an assignment. Please be aware that the work of all students submitted
electronically can be scanned using SafeAssignment, which compares them against everything posted on
the internet, online article/paper databases, newspapers and magazines, and papers submitted by other
students (including yourself if submitted for a previous class).

Note: Turning in an assignment (all or in part) that you completed for a previous class is considered self-
plagiarism and falls under these guidelines. Any infractions of self-plagiarism are subject to the same
penalties as copying someone else’s work without proper citations. Students who have taken this class
previously and would like to use the work from previous assignments should contact the instructor for
permission to do so.

Sharing or receiving information about the content of quizzes or assignments with other students is
explicitly prohibited in all possible venues.  Anyone participating in a group chat where such content is
disclosed could be counted as receiving that information (even if they didn't intend to receive that
information).  Thus, it is important to choose your group chat partners wisely and agree with each other
up front that no unethical sharing of quiz or assignment content will occur in the group chat.

Student Support and Disability Accommodations

Policy against threatening behavior


Student Services Manual SSM 104–02 “Handling Disruptive, Threatening or Violent Individuals on
Campus”):

All incidents and allegations of violent or threatening conduct by an ASU student


(whether on-or off campus) must be reported to the ASU Police Department (ASU
PD) and the Office of the Dean of Students. If either office determines that the behavior
poses or has posed a serious threat to personal safety or to the welfare of the campus,
the student will not be permitted to return to campus or reside in any ASU residence hall
until an appropriate threat assessment has been completed and, if necessary, conditions
for return are imposed. ASU PD, the Office of the Dean of Students, and other
appropriate offices will coordinate the assessment in light of the relevant circumstances.

Reporting Title IX violations


Title IX is a federal law that provides that no person be excluded on the basis of sex from participation in,
be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity. Both
Title IX and university policy make clear that sexual violence and harassment based on sex is prohibited.
An individual who believes they have been subjected to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex
can seek support, including counseling and academic support, from the university. If you or someone you
6

know has been harassed on the basis of sex or sexually assaulted, you can find information and
resources at https://sexualviolenceprevention.asu.edu/faqs. As a mandated reporter, I am obligated to
report any information I become aware of regarding alleged acts of sexual discrimination, including sexual
violence and dating violence. ASU Counseling Services, https://eoss.asu.edu/counseling , is available if
you wish discuss any concerns confidentially and privately.

Policy on Sexual Discrimination


Arizona State University is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation for the entire university community, including all students, faculty members, staff employees,

Schedule of Readings and Assignments.

The chapters here are reported for edition 7. Here is some information about finding adjustments
for changes in textbook edition by course module (Please let us know if you find others!).

There has been some substantial re-ordering of chapters in the “Drugs in American Society” textbook
