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 portfolio of self-presentation materials and sociological analyses based on community service learning; and c) think about how the knowledge, skills, and insights of the sociological enterprise can be used and applied outside of the University. The main goal of the course is to guide you through the process of writing your capstone portfolio by providing structure, advice, and encouragement. Successful completion of the analytic portion of your portfolio shows mastery of the skills and perspectives of your field of study.
