Subject Area

Abstract
This paper details the incorporation of the real world problem of narcotrafficaking in a student centered critical thinking course whose task is to provide mitigation of the problem of narcotraffic in Mexico and Colombia. Student groups are assigned an individual cartel, as well as research of their own, and give an individual oral presentation on their response to the task. They are also required to write a ten page paper on the their solution. Presentations are video recorded and papers are reviewed by outside readers to ensure consistent quality. Rubrics will be provided on request. Given the opioid epidemic sweeping our society, this topic is inherently important to study and also provide our future citizens with some form of context to frame the problem.
