In ANTH 2025: Human Sexual Behavior in Anthropological Perspective, many students encounter their first anthropology course or explore it as an elective. The course’s major writing project, the Infographic Assignment, is supported by a suite of TILT-informed materials including a decoded assignment plan, a course memo to set expectations, and a detailed peer review checklist. Introduced around Week 5, this assignment guides students through independent research, drafting, and design over several weeks, culminating in a peer review session that emphasizes quality control and collaborative learning.

This scaffolded approach encourages students to tailor their projects to personal or academic interests—ranging from advocacy to scientific education—while building foundational research and communication skills. By providing clear instructions and structured peer feedback tools, the materials foster meaningful engagement and help students navigate the research process with confidence. Below, you’ll find these decoded resources designed to support instructors in creating transparent, effective, and student-centered assignments.
