SYLLABUS FROM
DR. MARGARET W. MATLIN’S COURSE
My syllabus changes somewhat from one semester to the next, but the syllabusbelow is
the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However, the textbook for that course was the
6th edition.)I think it’s important for a syllabus to include a brief description of the course,
as well as the goals. From the first page of thesyllabus, students should be able to
understand the general scopeof the course.
You can find several additional syllabi for courses on the Psychology of Women or
the Psychology of Gender on the website for the Society for theTeaching of
Psychology (Division 2of the American Psychological Association):
