, 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 i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




the American Psychological Association):

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
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




features between one and three short articles in each issue, which focus on topics related to women and
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




gender, such as critical thinking, social class, social justice advocacy. I am the current editor of this
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




Teaching Section; please email me at , if you have an idea about a potential article related to this
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




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
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




this project, as well as some details about the project.
