Module Assignment #2 - "Blue Book" Graded Responses Go Here

DIRECTIONS:

Carefully read and follow the "Blue Book" guidelines from the assignment page. Again, remember there are length (1500 to 3000 words) and quality requirements. It is recommended that you thoughtfully compose your responses off line. Then, carefully "copy and paste" your responses for all Module #2 assignment tasks in the response box at the end of these directions and guidelines. Once working within the "Blue Book" response section, be sure to boldly label each Task # prior to discussing your learning. This way I will know which task you are writing about. This all sounds pretty simple and pretty obvious, but many students forget this, thus confusing the professor and/or his Teaching Assistant (TA) greatly!

Before beginning this online homework assignment be sure you understand the word count and quality requirements (1500 to 3000 words depending on grade desired). Also weekly assignments may not be submitted back to back. There must be at least a one assignment space between submissions. See "Grading Policy." To get there, click on the Course Basics link and then click on Grading Policy for particulars.

The required tasks for this module assignment include: 

Task #2.2 - In this "Internet Research Exercise," you are to review the following scientific article on homophobia. Read the entire study carefully and then discuss it in a well written reaction paper. 

Task #2.3 - For the following psychological oriented Websites, choose one and report back what you learned from exploring either. Explain in tightly worded writing, what you learned. Always try and weave in textbook reading, learning, and research data.

Task #2.5 - In the weeks ahead, we will explore more serioius and professional exercises and activities related to human sexuality. While many of these activities will derive from our workbook Sexually Speaking, some will be web-based resources as well.

The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) is designed to assist the assessment of sexually compulsive or "addictive" behavior. The test provides a profile of responses which help to identify men and women with sexually addictive disorders.

Provide a written reaction paper regarding what you learned from this exercise. Be sure to consider how valid and reliable you believe the test to be from a scientific point of view. Consider some of your thoughts about what "sexual addiction" really is.

Task #2.7 - Each class week there will be one thought-provoking "human sexuality" question for which discussion is expected from students. You are expected to respond to each question by the end of each class week. Be sure to place the question number (#) in the "subject line" so your classmates will know which week's question you addressing.

Since there is only one "thought-provoking question" (TPQ) a week due during the regular semester, a minimum response of 200 to 225 words is required for each message board TPQ posting. Also, students need to post a TPQ for EACH of the 15 online assignments.

Task #2.8  - After reviewing this film module, report back what you have learned. Explain in a clear, concise, and tightly worded reaction report.
