Paper Description
In this paper, we will address a number of key questions that encourage a detailed understanding of performance enhancing drugs in sport. These questions include: How can we measure performance and performance enhancement, how can we assess the evidence regarding specific performance enhancing drugs, can we distinguish between performance enhancing drugs and other forms of performance enhancement, why might people choose to use performance enhancing drugs and are there alternative policy options to banning performance enhancing drugs?
We will also address core academic skills for university study including: note taking, study groups, reading skills, collecting quantitative data, analysing quantitative data, report writing, evaluating source materials, academic research skills, and writing skills.

Assessment
This paper is 100% internally assessed. To maximise your chances of success, you will need to be engaged in the paper on a weekly basis. It is particularly important to submit all portfolio assessment items. Although each part of the portfolio has a small weighting, these add up quickly and the portfolio is worth 70% of your final mark.
Relatedly, the two 15% tests during semester will require you to apply skills and knowledge you have developed over the course of the semester.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
