Module 03: Discussion -Dr. Carroll's Notebook: Meet Sophie

This assignment is required and counts towards your grade in this course.

Purpose

This activity will provide a real-life example of the process and experience of one person's transgender transition. It will provide an opportunity to write your learning, share your thoughts with others, and learn from other perspectives in the class.

Directions

In MindTap, read the chapter 4 entry (including watching any videos included) "From Dr. Carroll's Notebook" titled "Meet Sophie". This activity is about a student who shares her gender transformation experience with Dr. Carroll.

After reading the entry, select 3 of the following 4 questions and share your answers on the discussion board:

Would you be uncomfortable if Sophie was your roommate? Do you think it would be more or less uncomfortable if you were the same biological sex as her? Do you think that Sophie should have to disclose that she is a transwoman to her roommate? Why or why not? Sophie talked about her parents’ involvement with her struggles over the years and ultimate decision to take the next step to becoming a female. How do you think your parents would react if you were to go through this experience? If you could ask Sophie anything about her transition from being a male to a female, what would you ask her?

A numbered list of your answers/responses is acceptable for this assignment. You will not be able to see any other student work until you have first submitted your own work.

After posting your work, read other student posts and leave comments if you'd like. Please remember to use Netiquette Guidelines in all discussion boards.

Note: You will not be able to read other student posts until you have posted your own work.

Grading

This assignment is worth 10 points. It is due by 11:59 p.m. on the date listed. Late and/or emailed assignments will not be accepted for grading - no exceptions.

The assignment will be graded for completion (were the required number of questions answered), accuracy (were the questions answered correctly), and depth of knowledge (were the questions answered in a way that demonstrates a clear and advanced understanding of the material). Merely submitting a post is not sufficient to earn full points - please work to be accurate and in-depth in your answers/explanations.

Proofreading is expected and you will need to use complete sentences. Multiple errors (in grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization) will result in a loss of 1 point (10%) on this assignment.

Citations are not required on this assignment unless you consult a resource other than the entry or textbook. However, plagiarized work (see Syllabus for definition of plagiarism) will result in a 0 on this assignment - there are no exceptions.
