Human Sexuality 301 is a course designed to provide each of us with the opportunity to explore issues of general interest and curiosity regarding various aspects of sexuality. The goal is not to be sensational or outrageous, liberal or conservative, clerical or secular, moralistic or hedonistic. In other words, there is no intent to advocate. Rather, each person is encouraged to make the most responsible choices about sexuality based on the best information and most complete knowledge available. We wish to join in a scholarly inquiry of the issues independent of the inevitable differences of opinions that can exist in a class.
Sexuality is by no means a simple biological function.
It is, in fact, an emotionally charged, complex subject which, unfortunately, provides few simple answers to realistic questions. Topics have been incorporated in the course that are felt to be of interest to all of us. Each of us should feel that we have equal access and opportunity for contribution to the discussion forum, and equal access to the instructor for questions and concerns. In this class, students will be disciplined for not attending or not producing. In the case of an absence, the instructor must be informed detailing the reasons for the absence.
