Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, these Discussions are designed to allow the student to interact with the presentations. Each Discussion must include a 200–250-word thread and at least one 100–150-word reply to either a fellow student or a question posed by the instructor. Also, each Discussion must reflect at least 1 reference to the source of the student’s opinion, cited in current APA format. (CLO: A, B, C)
The student will complete one of the following:
- A PowerPoint presentation (at least 10 content slides, not counting the title slide or reference slide) with key concepts presented on the slides and a narrative script of at least 50 words per slide in the notes section or in a recorded sound clip of the student presenting the information.
- A brochure (in Word or Publisher) in bifold or trifold format, designed to provide information to a community or church group regarding sexual addiction, how to recognize it, and resources available. Information or illustrations must be contained on both sides of the paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 8.5 by 14 inches), and a separate reference page must be submitted with the brochure.
The purpose of this project is to assist the student in becoming familiar with the various aspects of help for clients in their recovery. For either format, the student must provide an introduction that forecasts the remainder of the presentation/brochure to the reader/listener and contains a clear and concise thesis statement (located on the first slide after the title slide or on the front of the brochure). The student must also provide an introduction to sexual addiction, requirements for diagnosis, treatment information, a brief description of at least 2 resources available to the audience (including information on locating the resources and on the goals of the organizations providing the resources), and references in current APA format. The presentation/brochure must be appealing and interesting and use illustrations, graphs, charts, etc., to enhance the topic and information. All information contained in the presentation/brochure must be accurate. (CLO: F)

The presentation must contain at least 3 references from the course material and/or outside sources. (CLO: A, C, D)
