- Class Description:
- In this "capstone" version of the course, we will be looking back at what sociology was all about, looking forward to what sociology majors do after graduation. Most important, the course will provide the resources, assistance and encouragement to help majors in the Sociology Department to fulfill this requirement for a paper in the major field during the senior year -- mostly based on observational studies tied to service learning projects. The course is organized as a seminar and workshop. There are no formal lectures, but the instructor will present overviews of the stages of research and writing necessary to complete the senior project paper. Students build their major project through completing guided, periodic assignments. Along the way, we will be reading and thinking about how to apply a sociological eye to understand success, failure, and the world around us.
