Study Questions
Fall 2012
Instructions:
In preparation for the exams, here is a list of study questions for each chapter.
What you need to know from the text is covered in these questions. For all these chapters, you need to be familiar with the definitions (technical terms) highlighted in the text.
Also, while there will be no direct questions on the grey boxes in these chapters, I strongly suggest you read them. They provide real-life examples of the concepts discussed in the chapter and you might be asked to provide examples in the exams. You can use these examples if appropriate.
Reading the textbook is not just a matter of memorizing. Understanding the readings is a better to retain the information. Many of the study questions require you to understand, not memorize. The exams will test both your memory and your understanding of the concepts. Gender and Difference in a Globalizing World
