This is the Women s Studies capstone course, required for all students wishing to complete the minor in Women s Studies. This course enables students to synthesize, reflect upon, and refine what you have learned, and apply these skills and insights in an original research project.
All readings are on reserve or available on the internet, as noted on syllabus.
To fulfill the requirements of the recently-approved Women s Studies Student Learning Assessment Plan, each student will assemble a individual portfolio of Women s Studies work that demonstrates achievement of the skills and understandings that Women s Studies faculty hope all our minors will have learned by graduation. Exchanging papers written in this and other Women s Studies classes, students will help each other revise and perfect these works for their portfolios. Copying directly or paraphrasing specific information or ideas from any source, print or electronic, without citation, is plagiarism, and I take this very seriously. It merits a zero on the paper and a letter grade penalty for the course. Do not risk it.
