Liberty University · BS in Psychology · Psychology, counseling and social work · Updated

CCOU 305 reads Penner and Penner's The Gift of Sex with the Song of Solomon and presentations that set human sexuality within a Christian view of creation and marriage. The samples describe a biblical view of sexuality against the scripts of hookup culture, compare linear and circular models of sexual response, examine intimacy in later life, interview a Christian counselor about recovery after infidelity, and weigh research on pornography and marriage for counselors.

What CCOU 305 covers

Forums fall in Modules/Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 6, each with a 350-word thread and two 200-word replies that cite course materials or research; the interview paper is due in Module/Week 5 and four non-cumulative exams close Modules/Weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

The Book Critique comes in two parts, a title page, abstract and six-source reference page in Module/Week 4 and a 6-to-8-page critique of the book's five sections in Module/Week 7.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes CCOU 305 Issues in Human Sexuality this way:
This course provides a panorama of sexual challenges that men and women are currently experiencing, as well as the results of a national report on the sexuality of Christian men and women. This vibrant and fascinating study enables students to gain a better understanding of the complexities and fundamental differences of male and female sexuality and marital intimacy in contrast to cultural myths and distortions.

Where CCOU 305 papers lose points

CCOU 305 work slips when forum posts list prohibitions without engaging what Scripture affirms, when replies omit the research or course citations the guide expects, when the interview stays general and never reaches a counselor's actual process, and when sensitive topics are discussed without clinical, respectful language.

Using a CCOU 305 sample well
