Students contribution of their own experience and knowledge will constitute a vital component of the course. The course is a laboratory of feminist principles. Every individual in the class is a potential teaching resource. The personal is political. We will examine issues at both the individual and the societal levels and the ways in which these modalities are connected.
Students ultimately assume responsibility for their own learning and growth.
Group efforts and cooperative learning among students and instructors are essential components of this course. This requires that you come to class prepared, having read the material and reflected on it. You will also be expected to participate in Blackboard Forums, with a minimum of three postings during the semester. More details will be given in class. You will keep a notebook with dated entries for your reflections on each reading assignment and class presentation.
