It will also work to develop critical thinking skills among students through frequent reading and writing assignments. ASSESSMENT: The course will assess its efficacy through student evaluations and the improvement of students' writing and reading skills.

Rationale for
Changes or
Exceptions:

THE COURSE FILLS A CRITICAL NEED BY INTRODUCING UMM STUDENTS TO THE GENDERED DISCOURSES OF EAST ASIAN HISTORY. IT WILL ALSO ADD A NON-WESTERN COMPONENT TO THE WOMEN STUDIES PROGRAM.
