Is comprehensive sexuality education better than abstinence-only sex ed? Does talking about sex with children increase the chances they will engage in sexual activity? Does this keep parents from talking with children about sex? Would talking about sex help prevent unintended teenage pregnancies? What can colleges and universities do to promote greater sexual health? These are questions you’ll think about in this assignment.

The major purpose of these “sexual philosophy” assignments in each module is to integrate the information you have learned throughout the current module and the course thus far, and to practice effective and professional communication of your ideas in various formats. For this assignment, you’re creating an annotated bibliography to practice your research and writing skills.

Successful completion of this activity meets Module Outcomes 1 & 3.

This activity aligns with the career competencies of written communication.

INSTRUCTIONS:

You need to find out what the current state of sex research is, and specifically what types of sexuality education are most effective. To accomplish this, you will research sexuality education and write an annotated bibliography. At least two of your research articles will address the effectiveness abstinence-only versus comprehensive sexuality education.

This will be a short project, with only four or five research articles in your bibliography. Be sure to use APA format for your bibliography.

Read the resource on “Creating An Annotated Bibliography” and be sure to review the Excelsior College OWL resources: Annotated Bibliographies (Links to an external site.) and Tips on Writing an Annotated Bibliography. (Links to an external site.)

Turnitin®

This course has Turnitin® fully integrated into the course dropbox. This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.

Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically. You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report. Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment. Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.

Evaluation

This assignment will be graded using the Annotated Bibliography Rubric located on the Course Rubrics page within the Start Here section of the course. Please review the rubric prior to beginning your work so that you ensure your submission meets the criteria in place for this assignment. All sexual philosophy assignments (these may be writing, multimedia, or video presentation assignments) combined are worth 30% of your final course grade.
