My syllabus changes somewhat from one semester to the next, but the
g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h
syllabus below is the version I used in Fall Semester, 2010. (However,
g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h
the textbook for that course was the 6th edition.) I think it’s important for
g h g h g h g h g h g h g h gh g h g h g h g h g h g h
a syllabus to include a brief description of the course, as well as the
g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h
goals. From the first page of the syllabus, students should be able to
g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h g h
understand the general scope of the course.

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