The text is a 2008 NEW edition of Insights: Human Sexuality This course is designed to assist students in understanding the physical, cognitive, social and emotional aspects of human sexuality. Students will be expected to read assigned articles in the text, answer questions, watch videos/DVD's and evaluate them, visit one site related to human sexuality, and write one major paper giving both sides of an issue which is meaningful to them. Students must also participate in weekly online discussion classes and answer weekly bulletin board discussion questions, responding to each other as well as to the instructor. . This seems like a lot of work and it is. However, I do not believe in cheating Online students out of the same educational opportunities afforded to face-to-face students. Online is not less work -it is work organized in your time frame for the most part.
