intervention plans, with subsequent discussion by the class (35% of
grade).
STD EDITORIAL/ LETTER
Each student will prepare an 300-500-word concise editorial on a
current STD/HIV policy related topic under consideration at the state,
county or city level and based on the position taken in the editorial
