  • Identify the chief ways in which widely shared European norms and beliefs concerning gender and sexuality changed over the course of the modern period.

  • Describe how different political actors (French revolutionaries, Italian fascists, Soviet Communists, German feminists, etc.) promoted distinct visions of proper gender roles for men and women.

  • Analyze historical evidence in the form of primary source documents.

  • Analyze secondary sources, recognizing the authors' major arguments and the types of evidence they employ.

  • Construct your own written historical arguments by drawing critically on multiple sources.

About this comparison

1185 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
