Note: The Internet contains a great deal of information on human sexuality. As a student in Social Science 378, you are expected to use sound judgement and discretion in visiting Web sites for the research purposes associated with this course. Athabasca University will not be held responsible for the content of sites you may find, or for any resulting consequences of visiting those sites. You will find it helpful to narrow your search topics as specifically as possible. For example, instead of searching for “sex,” you may really want to search for “sexually transmitted diseases,” or, even more narrowly, for “chlamydia.” Thinking about, defining, and then confining your topic will lead you to helpful material more quickly than if you roam cyberspace hoping to find the perfect resources. Again, keep in mind that Internet searching is entirely optional for this course.
