課程概述 |
加簽方式:上課第一天9/8決定加簽方式。
This course examines a number of perspectives on the nature of society, how major institutions in society work and change, and the social process that produce and reproduce the social structure. It is intended as an introductory course for undergraduate students interested in thinking about and studying our social world. No prior exposure to the content area is required. |
課程目標 |
The objectives of this course are:
1). To systematically review and critically evaluate how sociologists have analyzed societies and how they function.
2). To develop an awareness of how these perspectives have changed over time.
3). To encourage you to develop your own sociological perspectives --- your own integration of the material.
Before the end of the course, you should expect to
1) gain a basic understanding of the major institutions in the modern society;
2) develop your theoretical and practical familiarity with a range of sociological methods;
3) practice evaluating both academic and popular research for methodological soundness; and
4) acquaint yourself with a variety of research tools. |
課程要求 |
In order to achieve these ends, we will read a number of articles and textbooks. In most weeks, I will give lecture for three full hours and leave one or half an hour for class discussion or group exercises. In lecture, I will talk about theoretical concepts and analyze existing research. We will review and discuss the readings. The essence of this type of introductory course is the quality of interaction during class sessions. All participants are expected to read and critically analyze the assignment, and to be prepared to discuss the issues. Classes are intended to be a digesting and integrating mechanism which gives the opportunity to tie ideas and concepts together and explore their implications.
Because class participation is a significant portion of your course grade, it is important that you strive to be a vital contributor to class discussions. When necessary, I will call on students randomly during the discussion session. However, I also expect you to contribute even if you are not called on directly.
Class participation will be graded by the teaching assistants and your peers, since they are the ultimate beneficiaries of class discussions. As a way of rewarding students who contribute insights highly valued by their peers, each class member will be asked to cast a vote for the student whom they feel added most to the quality of class discussion. |
