GWST-2123 Gender Studies

Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Each question is worth five points for a total of 50 points. Be sure to fully answer each question to receive all points. Remember to base answers on assigned materials as opposed to personal opinion, using direct quotes with author and title of text. Spelling, grammar, and mechanics should reflect polished and concise analytic answers. See syllabus for specifics.

You should use any notes or supplemental texts to answer the following questions. You should also use your textbook or any class materials. You should not use any search engines or electronic devices, nor should you communicate/collaborate answers with other class members. Failure to comply will result in an automatic zero for this concept review.
