Introduction
What is your gender? Or better yet, what is gender? Is it a fixed concept? Each and every day, all of us practice gender. But what does that mean? This course will explore these questions and cover a wide range of gender issues and topics that impact your development, social dynamics, and human behavior. Topics in this class will include: development of sex roles and the extent to which these roles influence, or are influenced by physiology, the family, education, work, and interpersonal relationships.
Course Description

Transferable to CSU:UC
What to Expect in this Course
This class is asynchronous and does not have any class meetings (in person or online). Your work for this class will be completed using Canvas, an online course management system. Since this is an online class, I will assume you are familiar with using internet browser software (such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.), with sending and receiving e-mail, and with attaching a file to an e-mail message.
This course is structured into chapter modules that focus on one chapter. For each chapter, there will be readings from the text, articles, and cases. Lectures/presentations will be provided introducing the learning objectives, additional readings and resources, and the activities and/or assignments that are due. I may also provide audio and video presentations on topics that are important, but that have not been discussed thoroughly in the book.
There will be a quiz on every chapter. Some weeks will have a discussion. These discussions are a critical component of the course, as you will learn as much, if not more, from other perspectives on an issue, as from your own interpretations.
Lastly, some weeks will have non-cumulative exams that will cover 2 to 3 chapters and modules leading up to the test. Questions will consist of true-false, multiple choice, matching, and short answer responses.
Class pace
For full-semester courses (16 weeks): We will cover approximately one chapter a week, so expect to spend about 6-12 hours per week completing the reading assignments and other work for this class.
For summer/winter session courses (4 - 5 weeks): we will cover approximately 2 - 3 chapters a week, so expect to spend 24-40 hours per week completing the reading assignments and other requirements of the course. If this sounds like more than you can manage within this time-frame, perhaps the full-semester format is a better fit for you. On the other hand, if you are highly motivated, then this format should work for you.
