Scenarios

  1. Maud is wandering around aimlessly. She often talks to herself. She appears to know no one and when police take her into custody, they cannot find any family. Maud continues to talk with “people” the police can neither see nor hear. She seems suspicious and “rambles on” about different topics.
  2. Doug is a very charming individual. He flirts relentlessly. He goes into many money making schemes without any remorse for the effect his endeavors have on other people’s lives.
  3. Jody has been afraid of dogs ever since she was bitten by one when she was four. Now twenty years later, she still refuses to visit the houses of friends who have pets.
  4. Diane blames herself for the ills of the world. She does not feel like getting out of bed each morning, or studying for the exams and assignments at school. She feels overwhelmed and as if she is sinking. She has also been putting on a lot of weight.
  5. Matthew talks fast, has been making a lot of plans for his future and gets very irritable when anyone interrupts him, or points out flaws in his reasoning. He has also been having a lot more affairs than he used to just two short months ago when he was feeling rather low.

***For this assignment you are only doing the research paper, but I included the instructions for the video recording just to give you a better understanding of what is required. Write the paper as if you will be the one making the video recording since you have to outline how you will present the information in your video in the paper*****

We use Turnitin, so plagarism is taken very seriously. This is a 400 level college class, so I expect crtiical thinking and college level writing.

3)    Preparation Paper – (1 x 20 points) 20 points
The Preparation Paper is an opportunity for you to examine a particular sexual topic of interest in more depth. It will also help you prepare for the following assignment, the Sexual Health Education Video Recording. In the paper, you will first introduce your topic, identify research conducted on the topic, and outline how you will present this information in your video recording. The Preparation Paper will be graded on following directions, quality of content, grammar, clear organization, 3-5 page length, and utilizing APA style and formatting. See D2L for further directions and the grading rubric.

4)    Sexual Health Education Video Recording (1 x 15 points) 15 points – Due June 23rd by 11:59 PM EST
The Sexual Health Education Video Recording marries research and social media. One of the critiques of sexual health research is that the general public does not have access to the research or struggles to comprehend the research. This video, which will be between 3 to 5 minutes, will require you to inform your viewers about your sexual topic of interest from your Preparation Paper. Once completed, your video should be uploaded to YouTube, and the YouTube link for your video should be submitted to the Assignments folder. The Sexual Health Education Video Recording will be graded on following directions, quality of content, creativity, and 3-5 minute length. There will be a special incentive for the most well-loved videos, and who knows, you could become a YouTube star! See D2L for further directions and the grading rubric.
