- Class Description:
- This course is designed to: a) provide you with an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned as a sociology major; b) use that knowledge to write a senior research project based on community service learning; and c) think about how the knowledge, skills, and insights of sociology can be used and applied in your lives and careers outside of the University. The focus is on how sociological knowledge, research, and thought help to promote critical thinking, effective communication, an appreciation of diversity, and social responsibility in public life. The main goal of the course is to guide you through the process of writing your senior thesis paper, a graduation requirement for all Sociology majors. Course materials encourage you to reflect on the role of sociological knowledge in the contemporary world and to connect your sociological knowledge to a community-based senior research project. Classes will include a combination of lectures, active learning exercises, writing exercises to help you prepare your main paper, and discussions of the required readings.
