SOC: Sex Cultures

"Welcome, everyone. First, I'd like to announce that Miss Cally will be the TA for this course, and Miss Matthews a general TA. Please treat them with the utmost respect, and if you require something from the lab and I am unavailable, please consult them."

"Last class, I asked you to take a short quiz as homework. Although I don't expect you to share your exact results, I would like you to share your reactions to your results. Why do you think you have different results from your classmates? Religion, location, age, gender, class, race, ummm... solar system?"

Homework: Read the packet of articles I have provided. ~~Or look at the titles, anyway. Oh, pretty segue.~~ Remember, some are more academic in nature, some come from more obviously biased viewpoints, but you should analyze them all not just by what they say, but why they say it.

Pip signs in.

Allie signs in.

Alanna signed in.

*DEATH walks in, doing jazz hands at every electronic object he passes hopefully. When it fails to do something, he stares at it in confusion before moving on. Eventually, he reaches the desk and signs his name*

Izzie signs in, and sits down quietly.

Take a seat.

"I got 7 out of 9," Bel said. "Some of it was, um, guessing, though."

"8 out of 9," Phoebe whispered, still hiding low in her seat.

"I got five out of nine." Fred looked a little surprised "I guess teenaged girls are more responsible when I thought."

"I didn't get any of them. I've never heard of the diseases you're fighting, the numbers were way to low or way too high. And of course there's a broad-spectrum disease teast. Immunizations too. Had to have my booster over Thanksgiving."

Han shrugs. "Another one of those backward earth things."

"I sucked really bad at the quiz. I totally underestimated some stuff, and I think my parents lied to me about a few things." Cally shrugs. "So, the over protective parents bit, the different planet, yeah, probably has something to do with it."

Anders coughs. "Um, considering I, like, never even thought about this stuff until a couple of months ago? I think getting three right was pretty good. Even if I just kinda guessed."

Shep ~~does not pick up his chair and ask "where should I take it?"~~ looks over his quiz from the last class.

"I got all the 'practical stuff' right and none of the stats stuff right. I guess that means I can take care of myself and by extension my partner... but I have no idea what the other idiots out there are doing."
