A semi-structured interview guide was utilized to in digitally recorded interviews. The interviews were transcribed and then coded and analyzed. Results were interpreted with life course perspective, and feminist theory perspectives. The results fit into 5 categories of life course development: early childhood, late childhood, early adolescence, late adolescent and young adulthood. The types of experiences that men had in elementary school mainly involved observation without explanation and only in late elementary school were any formal explanations given. As participants grew older, their exposure to menstruation evolved as well, with the most significant influence on their understanding of menstruation coming from a long-term sexually active relationship with a woman. The perceptions and attitudes that they had about menstruation were often influenced by their early exposure to menstruation while growing up. Very few participants expressed empathy or sympathy for the female experience of menstruation and often focused on how women's menstruation affects them.

The use of D2L quizzes and exams was the main type of activity studied and results indicate that well over half of the students engaged in cheating in some form. Through the use of cross-tabulation analysis and logistic regression analysis,involvement in extra curricular activities and external pressure on grades were found to be significant predictors of cheating in an online quiz or exam
