چکیده (انگلیسی):

To encourage students to think about and understand the considerable role gender plays in their
lives, a writing assignment early in a gender course asks them to consider the impact of
permanently becoming the other gender. Students‟ papers were examined for particular themes,
which were used to illustrate course concepts and to spark class discussions. For example, some
students wrote that they must learn how to be the other gender, which leads to a discussion about
the sources of gender differences. Other themes as well as suggestions for expanding the
assignment are discussed.
