4 WELCOME Welcome to the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work, a space in which we hope to ground your career pursuits and at the same time cause you to think critically about Caribbean society. You have joined us at a time of serious social and economic challenges, when we are again questioning/contesting various models of development and confronting constitutional issues related to citizenship for all members of our society. It is a time for pause, but at the same time forward movement. We trust that you will find our various programmes stimulating enough to urge self-directed learning, wide participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, a deeper understanding of the Caribbean, and a reflective engagement with discourses on Caribbean society, economy and polity. We urge you to take advantage of the privilege of tertiary education which so many are precluded from enjoying due to inadequate opportunity, poverty and other forms of severe financial constraints. For some of you, you re the first in your family to attend university. Do not squander this opportunity. Think critically about what you wish your contribution to be to your home country and the Caribbean and study carefully the many programmes (majors and minors) offered by the Department. Fast forward even to thoughts about post-graduate study and establish your goals from now. Our Academic and Administrative staff members are warm and caring, and exhibit a lot of heart. Connect with your lecturers, commit to hard work and get involved. The region needs you and it will be to you that we must turn to take up the mantle of leadership and help secure development progress and win opportunities. Best wishes for an enjoyable stay with us. Have a great and productive Academic year 2015/16! Heather Ricketts Head 4

10 DEPARTMENTAL COURSE WORK GUIDELINES Coursework refers to that part of your final grade that is done during the semester. It would usually take the form of all or some of the following: mid-semester exam, an essay, group presentation, class presentation, research proposal and where necessary, labs/practicals. At the beginning of each Semester a Course Outline is prepared for each course. On this course outline all indications of course content, due dates for assignments, room, contact information and office hours of lecturers must be clearly printed. Coursework assignments should be marked and returned to students PRIOR TO EXAMINATIONS. A principal objective of coursework is that feedback can be given to each student as an aid to learning. This distinguishes it from the conditions pertaining to the final examination. Where in-course tests are being administered, these should normally be no later than the 8 th week of the semester, unless there is no final examination. Where both written coursework and in-course tests are being used as methods of assessment, these should be scheduled at least three weeks apart, unless there is no final examination. Coursework submitted after the due date will be subjected to a deduction of 5% of the coursework marks for each day late, (e.g. 1 mark out of 20 per day). Exemption from a penalty will only be considered if an excuse is submitted in writing. This will have to relate to illness [medical certificate required], serious domestic problems and in the instance of part time students only, significant work-related problems. In such instances the lecturer may grant an extension for a specified period or may refer the request for the discretion of the Head of Department. Excuses must be submitted PRIOR TO the due date for submission of the coursework. In the event that a student has completed coursework and is excused from sitting the final exam [illness or other special circumstances], coursework marks may be carried over to the next available sitting of the course. Should there be an increase in the proportion of marks allotted for the next sitting; a further assignment may be required for the additional marks. In all undergraduate offerings students must obtain at least 25% of the marks assigned for coursework for successful completion of the course [e.g. where 40 marks/40% of the full course is assigned for coursework, a minimum of 10 marks must be obtained]. In cases where a student is dissatisfied with his/her final examination grade, the matter may be directed to the Examinations Office for a review, re-mark or a go-through [see Examinations guidelines]. 10

11 General Departmental Guidelines 1. Free elective refers to any course (offered outside this department or faculty) that is selected by the student to satisfy credits for the current academic year. 2. The choice of electives should complement the major field of study and students should consult the description of courses in this and other departments to make their selections. 3. Electives at Levels II and III must be from either Level II or III courses. Level III courses may be taken in year 2, as long as all pre-requisites have been met. 4. All courses are for 3 credits except where otherwise indicated. 5. Most Levels II and III courses have pre-requisites as you will see from the list of courses being offered. 6. While double majors are permitted, the Department prefers that students select a single major (and a minor by choice). This allows a wider choice of electives which can serve to strengthen the major or the minor. 7. Students taking double majors in Sociology and Psychology, or Sociology and Demography, may only apply the required course SOCI2008 (SY22G)-Statistics for Behavioural Sciences to ONE of the majors and must then select an additional course to complete the ten (10) courses for the other major. 8. EDRS2007- Basic Research Methods is accepted as a substitute wherever SOCI1001-Introduction to Social Research is listed. 9. ECON1005-Introduction to Statistics is accepted as a substitute wherever S0CI1005- Introductory Statistics for the Behavioural Sciences is listed.
