There is no prior experience for this class.  This is an introductory level class that will cover the basic skills and knowledge of sociological perspectives.  The learner should not feel pressured or worried to research this subject or have prior knowledge.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, a Master's in Social Science, and I am in my last 10 classes of my Doctorate in Education.  I have taught biology, science, social science, and sociology.

A question(s) will be given each week.  This question(s) will take anywhere from 10-30 minutes to answer depending on the length of time your Learner chooses to spend.

Grades Offered

The primary source for this class is "Power and Society".  This book is a book that I have used in several of my college-level social science courses.  This book is overall a great choice for this class.  This is a book I am very familiar with.  Another reason I have chosen this source for our class is, that it is easy to read and understand.  It is a basic overview and uses terms and examples that are easy for high schoolers and college Freshmen to understand.

The secondary source for this class is "Sociology A Downhome Approach".  This book is one that I use for my college-level introduction to sociology course.  This book is more diverse than my primary source.  This book is more of an umbrella book for everything sociology.  By this I mean, it covers sociological topics but does not go into depth.

Required handouts will be uploaded to the classroom before the class session begins.  The Learner will be responsible for printing or viewing the handouts for the class.  It is not necessary to print for our class.  However, you are free to print for yourself anything in our class. 

There are no outside resources used for this class.  Everything will take place in the Classroom Thread.
