syllabus below is the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However,
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
the textbook for that course was the 6th edition.) I think it‘s important for
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
a syllabus to include a brief description of the course, as well as the
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should be able to

COURSE d 1 DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this course is to examine the lives of girls and women.
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
We will include topics such as gender stereotypes, the development of
d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
gender roles, gender comparisons, women and work, love relationships,
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
sexuality, women‘s physical and mental health, violence against women, and
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1
women in later adulthood. Students who take this course should acquire a
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1
better understanding about girls, women, and gender in North America.
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
As the course instructor, I‘m hopeful that each of you will work toward the
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
following goals:
d 1 d 1
1. To understand the relevant information about the lives of girls and
d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d1 d1 d 1 d1 d1
women—as well as gender—with a particular emphasis on the
d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
complexity of the issues.
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
2. To develop critical-thinking skills, so that you can evaluate both the
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d1 d 1 d1 d 1
research in professional journals and information described in the
d1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
popular media.
d 1 d 1
3. To know how to design your own psychology research project, to
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
conduct the research, and to write an appropriately professional summary
d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
of your own research, emphasizing the potential methodological flaws
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
and strengths in your study.
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
4. To explore your own ideas and attitudes about gender, appreciating that we
d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d1
do not need to be constrained by our culture‘s traditional gender roles.
d1 d 1 d1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
5. To appreciate the inequalities that many individuals face, based on
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
social categories other than gender. These categories include age,
d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, social class, and country
d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1
of residence. We will also consider some information about inequalities
d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d 1 d1 d 1 d 1 d 1
in other cultures, outside North America.
