"Why Haven't We Been Taught All This Before?" What SRU Students Say about
Women's Studies Courses
"This class has given me an opportunity to learn about
a subject like no other class that I have experienced! An eye opener of
different ideas, views, insights, and beliefs."
"This class gave to me a better understanding of women's
fight for equal rights. I became more knowledgeable in some women's issues
and I became aware of the many ways in which women are discriminated against
today."
"The history of women is much more clear to me now,
after taking this course. I hadn't realized how much women have contributed
to society over the years."
"I believe society would benefit greatly if all students
participated in women's studies courses. It was a wonderful learning
experience for me. As a senior, I took my first and only women's
studies course--it was the most interesting, rewarding, and in my opinion,
one of the most important courses I have taken. Had I taken this
course earlier, I would have taken more courses in women's studies--definitely!"
"As we proceed further each week into this course,
I feel my eyes opening wider. I am gaining a much better understanding
of women's studies. When I came into the class, I thought I had a pretty
good idea of all the issues we might possibly cover. I was wrong. I am
learning about so many theories and ideas."
"The Women and Politics course was one of pure enjoyment
and enlightenment [for me]. It gave me an opportunity to derive thoughtful
conclusions about the role of women in the political arena, on different
levels, with the help and input from my peers."
"It has become apparent [to me] now that women played
just as important a part in history [as men], although it may not be documented
as such in most history books."
"I highly recommend this course to women and men alike."
"The experience I had with the Women's Studies
Program was very rewarding. [ . . . .] I learned a lot about myself
and had a wonderful experience analyzing my own thoughts [on] gender.
The classroom was not biased in anyway, but challenged me to think through
many different outlooks and perspectives. [ . . . .] I have
recommended these classes to others."
