My syllabus changes somewhat from one semester to the next, but the syllabus below is

k the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However, the textbook for that course was
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kthe 6th edition.) I think it‘s important for a syllabus to include a brief description of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kthe course, as well as the goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kbe able to understand the general scope of the course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION k
The purpose of this course is to examine the lives of girls and women. We will
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kinclude topics such as gender stereotypes, the development of gender roles, gender
k k k k k k k k k k k
kcomparisons, women and work, love relationships, sexuality, women‘s physical and
k k k k k k k k k
kmental health, violence against women, and women in later adulthood. Students who
k k k k k k k k k k k
ktake this course should acquire a better understanding about girls, women, and gender
k k k k k k k k k k k k
kin North America.
k k
As the course instructor, I‘m hopeful that each of you will work toward the following goals:
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
1. To understand the relevant information about the lives of girls and women—
k k k k k k k k k k k
as well as gender—with a particular emphasis on the complexity of the
k k k k k k k k k k k
issues.k
2. To develop critical-thinking skills, so that you can evaluate both the research
k k k k k k k k k k k
in professional journals and information described in the popular media.
k k k k k k k k k k
3. To know how to design your own psychology research project, to conduct the
k k k k k k k k k k k k
research, and to write an appropriately professional summary of your own
k k k k k k k k k k k
research, emphasizing the potential methodological flaws and strengths in your
k k k k k k k k k k
study. k
4. To explore your own ideas and attitudes about gender, appreciating that we do not
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
need to be constrained by our culture‘s traditional gender roles.
k k k k k k k k k k
5. To appreciate the inequalities that many individuals face, based on social
k k k k k k k k k k
categories other than gender. These categories include age, disability, sexual
k k k k k k k k k k
orientation, ethnicity, religion, social class, and country of residence. We will
k k k k k k k k k k k
also consider some information about inequalities in other cultures, outside
k k k k k k k k k k
North America.
