Hi Jason,

Thank you for submitting your unit 5 revision 1 paper. SafeAssign indicated that your paper has a 17% match – nice job.

I really like how you applied gender theories and ethical considerations to the case studies. These are essential to understand the case. Well done!

Directions state “Examine and explain how ethical standards guide professional behavior as it relates to the issues and concepts identified in the selected human sexuality case study. You must state the specific ethical standard that relates to the topic or issue highlighted in the case study and explain how this ethical standard guides professional behavior.” Be sure to clearly cite the standards from the Code of Ethics.

You followed APA formatting rules- just some errors. I recommend that you contact your tutor, the Writing Center or go to Smarthinking for a review of your work before submitting for a grade. Be sure to ask them to evaluate the logical flow of ideas and grammar and mechanics usage. 

It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to see you again!
