In this project, you will research a topic and then prepare a digital poster or infographic describing a sleep-related topic or the effects of a drug you have chosen. Your target audience is post-secondary students. Keep in mind that this population includes people of diversity. Provide your audience important information related to the topic you select.
Research Topic
The best topic selections are not too general. It is best if you select a general theme, do some preliminary research for information on your topic idea, and then focus your energy on a specific topic. Topic examples:
- Drug induced schizophrenia
- Sleep deficits and memory
- Benefits of THC for brain cancer
Format: digital poster or infographic
The digital poster or infographic can be made using any template of your choice; there are many trials and free templates available. Here is a list of a few examples:

You must provide a properly formatted APA (7th edition) reference list in the bottom right corner of your project. At minimum, you must use a least one scholarly source of information (such as the OpenStax textbook I suggested). Including additional sources is strongly encouraged, but you CANNOT use any blogs or other personal, non-credible websites. ***If you do not provide references, you will receive a zero on this project. Submit the poster or infographic in the Dropbox.
