How gender affects a person’s life

This exam consists of two essay questions. Each is worth 7.5 points, for a possible total of 15 points.
Instructions
In these essays you need to demonstrate your knowledge of course concepts and terminology, and you need to relate the concepts to yourself. Do NOT define terms or speak in generalities. Just relate the concepts to yourself, as directed. You will lose points for including irrelevant information.

Responses should be three to five well-developed paragraphs. Well-developed paragraphs make a specific point and include details and examples.

Question 1

Please discuss how your gender, your sexual orientation, oryour sexual identity has impacted and continues to impact your life. Choose only one of these choices. Avoid defining terms and speaking in generalities. Your entire response should be about you.
Write three to five well-developed paragraphs. Each paragraph needs to make a specific point, and that point needs to be supported with details and examples.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
