SYLLABUS FROM
DR. MARGARET W. MATLIN’S COURSE
My Syllabus Changes Somewhat From One Semester To The Next, But The
Syllabus Below 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 The Syllabus, Students Should Be Able To Understand
The General Scope Of 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 The
Teaching Of Psychology (Division 2 Of The American Psychological
Association): Http://Teachpsych.Org/Otrp/Syllabi/Index.Php
Scroll Down The List Of Courses On The Right-Hand Side, And You Will Find The
Topic “Women And Gender.”
Additional Note: Psychology Of Women Quarterly Now Includes A “Teaching
Section” In Each Issue. It Features Between One And Three Short Articles In
Each Issue, Which Focus On Topics Related To Women And Gender, Such As
Critical Thinking, Social Class, Social Justice Advocacy. I Am The Current
Editor Of This Teaching Section; Please Email Me At , If
You Have An Idea About A Potential Article Related To This Teaching!
On The First Day Of Class, Students Also Receive A Description Of The
Psychology Of Women Research Project, An Important Component Of My
Course. Later In This Document You Can Find A Description Of This Project,
As Well As Some Details About The Project.
