1 Drew Fish Home Phone: Cell Phone: A: Introduction to Human Society Fall, 2010 Sunday 1:15PM 4:45PM Old Main 210 I) Purpose of the course: The United States has been described as a mosaic because of it's tradition of great diversity. American diversity is not based simply on ethnic and racial heritage, although these are important components, but also by gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and place within the economic system (just to name a few areas of difference). This diversity among the inhabitants of the United States has produced a multitude of perceptions of and interactions with "American Society". The purpose of this course is to a solid foundation in the discipline of sociology while exploring the central components of "American Society" in light of this diversity. II) Expectations: The student is expected to attend class regularly and be prepared to discuss the material for that day. In addition, the student is expected to apply the concepts discussed in this class to his/her own experiences and to use their own experiences to evaluate the concepts presented in class. Ideally this class should develop into a reciprocal relationship between the concepts of sociology (as presented in the readings and lecture) and the student. III) Requirements: Examinations: The student will be asked to complete three examinations comprised of short answer and short essay questions. The examinations will take place in class on October 8, November 5 and December 10. Reaction Papers: In call one film will be presented. After the film each student will be asked to write a short (2-3 page) reaction paper integrating the experience to class discussion and readings. Optional Take Home Essay: Students will be given the option to complete an optional take home essay exploring one of the major issues discussed in class using the major sociological perspectives we will discuss. The essay it will count as an additional exam grade. As a result the relative weight of each individual exam will be less. The essay question will be handed out November 19 and will be due December 13. Journal Assignments: Each student is required to keep a journal of her/his reactions to the material covered in each class. The propose of the journal is to give the student the opportunity to relate the class material to their own experiences. Journal / Discussion questions are provided to stimulate the students thinking but the student need not limit her/himself to these questions. Students may also refer to the discussion questions at the end of each reading. Journal entries should range in length form 1/2 page to 1 page each. Completed journals are due December 13. All unexcused late assignments will be docked 1/2 a letter grade for each class period late.
