SOC 1 Introduction (Intro) to Sociology

Three lecture hours per week

 The official COURSE OUTLINE for SOC 1 is available online at http://ow.ly/lnF730dep4g

Welcome Aboard! What is Sociology, Anyway?

So·ci·ol·o·gy. Function:  noun.

 Etymology: French sociologie, from socio- + -logie –logy.

1: the science of society, social institutions, and social relationships; specifically: the systematic study of the development, structure, interaction, and collective behavior of organized groups of human beings.

2: the scientific analysis of a social institution as a functioning whole and as it relates to the rest of society.[1]

[1] Merriam-Webster Website http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sociology accessed 6 August 2017.

Introduction to Sociology <SOC 1> is an undergraduate, introductory course exploring the perspectives for understanding human interaction as based on the analysis of people, organizational structures, and the cultures and societies in which they are found. During the length of this course, you will develop your own sociological understanding of the world, or what C. Wright Mills termed The Sociological Imagination. You will also refine skills related to active reading, analytical writing, and media critique. We will apply in-class studies to observations, participation, and interactions in the world in which we live, and you will contribute to discussions and analyses. The course is designed to answer these three, major questions: What is Sociology as a Discipline? How Can we Combat Both Individual and Structural Inequalities? How are Societies Changing in a Globalized World?

 

Student Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Explain and apply the major theories, concepts, and methodologies of sociology.
2. Analyze society and social groups using a sociological perspective.
3. Evaluate structures and policies of major American social institutions.

Course Catalog Description

            An exploration of American society from several levels of analysis including face-to-face social interaction, groups, and institutions. This exploration is accomplished through the use of lectures, small group interaction, multimedia, and guest speaker presentations.

Recommended Preparation & Transferability

• Eligibility for ENGL 1A or equivalent (Grade or P/NO)
• Transfer: CSU;UC. C-ID: SOCI 110.

The Sociology Workbook. Stover, John and Nori Lowe Henk. 2018. Self-Published/Supplied by the Instructor (see below).

The Sociology Workbook will be supplied to you early in the semester and comes with a set of expectations and agreements to which students will explicitly agree upon before accepting.

Websites. You will need regular access to CANVAS @ https://canvas.santarosa.edu/login/canvas for assignment instructions, submitting assignments, sharing resources, and viewing grades. I ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMEND you take advantage of SRJC’s Tutorial Centers (https://college-skills.santarosa.edu/tutorial-centers-online-tutoring), Learning Communities (https://learningcommunities.santarosa.edu/), and library resources (https://libraries.santarosa.edu/#research1). We will talk about each of these, too. 

            Software. For assigned PDF Readings you will need Adobe Reader, and for assignments and access to CANVAS you will need a computer with word processing and Internet access capabilities. Google Drive is an excellent resource for free, internet-based software for creating/writing papers, charts, and presentations. There are also many computers on campus, such as in the library, for your use.

Assessment Measures By Category & Related Points

In-Class Participation = 10% of Overall Grade

Students must ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTE during class in order to earn the associated points for participation. Late arrivals and lack of in-class focus will be recorded and deducted from the points available per equal halves of the semester. Absences are to be avoided wherever / whenever possible, and students will be dropped if they miss four or more classes (see attendance policy below, too).

Module Quizzes (Tests) = 40% of Overall Grade

There will regular, weekly Modules Quizzes (read – Tests) in this course, each worth around 25 points. Module Quizzes will measure your ability to apply, interpret, and discuss key course themes. Each Module Quiz must be completed by 11:59 pm on the Sunday immediately following the delivery of the module in-class. So, for instance, we cover the Welcome Module during the first week of classes, so the associated quiz is due before midnight on Sunday, August 25^th. All associated readings, lectures, terms, concepts, media, and other course content are “fair game” for each quiz.

Essays & Final Presentations (Writing Assignments) = 30% of Overall Grade

            An important way in which we critically assess the information-rich society in which we live is by using the Sociological Imagination in our writing. To this end, students will write a few, stand-alone essays on specific topics. All students will be required to attend and write about at least ONE SRJC-sponsored cultural event this semester, including all Our House Intercultural Center events here on the Petaluma campus (https://petaluma.santarosa.edu/our-house-intercultural-center). All events occur outside of our regular class time, so plan ahead. Also, small groups of students will also research and present on a special topic for their final presentations.

The Sociology Workbook (Writing Assignments) = 20% of Overall Grade

Successful use of the workbook counts towards a full 20% of each student’s final grade. The workbooks will be graded on the quality, depth, and completion of your lecture notes, reading notes, and activities. Thorough and proper use of the workbook as your primary note-taking vehicle for lectures AND readings is ESSENTIAL throughout the course. All activities that are assigned explicitly (we won’t get to everything) will also be graded.

How the Course is Structured aka How to Be Successful

Working with Modules

• We operate by Modules in this course, and will work sequentially thru the semester from the Welcome Module to the Final Research Module.
• On the syllabus, Modules are scheduled by month and we will spend between one to two class sessions per module depending on activities and timing.
• On Canvas, you can find exact dates for specific assignments and assessments for each module. Dr. John will also remind students in class / along the way as to upcoming readings and assignments. This format provides for both structure and flexibility as we progress.
• While not expected, I do reserve the right to adjust the schedule if necessary. Any changes will be updated in Canvas and conveyed directly to students.

 

Working with Canvas

• The Soc01 Canvas Site is organized by the same Modules as the syllabus.
• Online lectures and activities are available in Canvas, and students will use BOTH in-class and online activities and lectures in their progression in the course.
• Once a module is completed in-class, the accompanying online quiz MUST be taken by 11:59 pm on the Sunday immediately following. Reminders will be shared in class, but it’s your responsibility to monitor deadlines in-class and online.

 

Participation and Reading Tips

• You MUST ATTEND CLASS. Anyone with FOUR or MORE absences WILL BE DROPPED.
• You MUST TAKE NOTES and PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES. If you do not, you will fail.
• You MUST READ for this class. Do NOT take the class if you don’t plan on completing the readings. Reminders will be provided in class as to the next reading scheduled.
• Readings are abbreviated in the schedule as follows:
• Contexts Passages = Passage #s (look at the title of the passages – they are numbered) in The CONTEXTS Reader, 3rd Edition by Syed and Cohen. I have also included the associated page #s for your cross reference.
• Street Life = Street Life: Street Life: Poverty, Gangs, and a PhD by Victor Rios
• PDF handout(s) = Additional readings supplied by the instructor and available on CANVAS / in class.
• Associated OER Chapters = The OER Online Textbooks Chapters associated with each Module/Topic. This is an ADDITIONAL resource for your cross-reference needs.

 

Understanding Sociology in Action

• Application of core themes and concepts will be made via various activities such as discussion, short essays, media analysis, and presentations.
• Soc01 Students will also make extensive use of The Sociology Workbook, and will be graded twice during the semester on their progress.
• Soc01 Students will also complete a final library research project and presentation that will connect core course concepts to the everyday world.

Universal Class Policies For All Sociology Classes with Dr. John – Review Closely

 

Grades & Course Assessment

• Depending on our progress and the time we have available, between 800 to 1,000 points will be available to each student, each semester, in each course in which they are enrolled.
• You can keep track of your grades in real time in the “Grades” Section on Canvas.
• Assignment descriptions and related points are detailed in various formats, including written and online versions, and are usually available on the course CANVAS site.
• Grading is the hardest part of teaching, and, to be completely honest (and you may already know this), it is sometimes a challenge for me to keep up. But I will do my best to return assessed materials within a two week time frame.
• I cannot stress this enough: YOU earn YOUR grade through YOUR efforts.
• To reinterate: Your grade is a reflection of the points you have earned. Period. End of Story.
• The ratio of Final Points to Final Percentages (again – as earned by you) are as follows:

 

Grade	Percentage	Points	Grade	Percentage	Points
A	93% & above	930 – 1,000	D	69% – 74%	690 – 740
B	85% – 92%	850 – 920	F	68% – 0%	680 – 0
C	75% – 84%	750 – 840

 

• The grading scale is rigorous, but when you earn your grades in this class, you really earn them.
• ALSO IMPORTANT! Do NOT come to me at the of the semester asking what you can do to raise your grade! This type of request is neither reasonable nor logical. You must earn your grade through your efforts (is this starting to sound familiar?!?!)

Assignment Submissions – Review Carefully

RE: ON TIME ASSIGNMENTS:

• Any assignment listed on Canvas is to be submitted via Canvas as per the instructions of the assignment.
• Unless otherwise specified, ALL ELECTRONIC submissions on Canvas MUST BE Word, PDF, or Text Entry.
• NEVER SUBMIT PAGES DOCUMENTS OR LINKS to GOOGLE DOCS…EVER…
• ALL submissions must be properly formatted – DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU SUBMIT.
• Any handwritten or hard copy work will be collected in class on the day it is due, no exceptions.
• IT IS AN AUTOMATIC ZERO IF YOU EMAIL ME AN ASSIGNMENT. DON’T DO IT.

 

RE: LATE ASSIGNMENTS:

• Any assignment not submitted on time on Canvas as directed can be turned in late ONLY AS FOLLOWS:
  • When the student prints and hands off a direct copy of the assignment to the instructor within five (5) weekdays of the official deadline, in class OR during office hours.
  • A 10 to 25% penalty for late submission will be deducted from all late assignments as depending on circumstances and length of delay.
• NEVER, EVER EMAIL ME A LATE ASSIGNMENT, EITHER!! ZERO IF YOU DO!
• NO FINAL PRESENTATIONS AND NO RESEARCH PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE STATED DEADLINES – AKA NO LATE WORK ON MAJOR PROJECTS – NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Course Engagement = YOUR Education Requires YOUR…

An undergraduate education is a collaborative effort built on a productive & engaged working relationship between Professor & Student. What does this mean for you?

Preparation. Always read BEFORE you come to class. 

Respect. Listen to others and learn from your mistakes. Take responsibility for your own success by doing the work, following directions, earning your own grade, and being fully present.

Focus. Put your electronic gadgets away and focus on what we are doing in class: ask questions, challenge assumptions, engage in exercises, participate in discussions, read material, and complete assignments.

Nota Bene: DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO MEET THESE COURSE EXPECTATIONS.

Important Policies and Procedures (Alphabetically)

• Absences & (Limited/No) Make Up Policy.Make up assignments will be given ONLY in EXTREME circumstances such as a serious illness, religious observance, or college-sponsored absences. Supporting documents ARE required (doctor’s note, team schedules, etc.) and instructor decisions regarding approval are final. If you miss class for any other reason, make-up work/tests are NOT AVAILABLE. Also, I will not hold private lectures or make special accommodations for randomly/chronically absent students.
• Academic Honesty and Integrity. I fully expect you to maintain the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity during your academic career, and within this course in particular (refer to https://rightsresponsibilities.santarosa.edu/academic-integrity if you are not already familiar). Additionally, note my policy as instructor is to assign an “F” for any assignment or exam upon which academic dishonesty and/or plagiarism is evident. I will also report any such instances to the Academic Integrity Committee. TWO or more instances WILL result in COURSE FAILURE.
• Accommodations for Students with Disabilities. If you have a documented disability, please provide the Authorization for Academic Accommodations (AAA letter) from the Disability Resources Department (DRD) as soon as possible. You can visit DRD on the Petaluma Campus in Jacobs Hall, Room 101 or on the Santa Rosa Campus in the Bertolini Student Center, 3rd Floor. DON’T BE SHY – THERE’S NO SHAME IN GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!
• Attendance and Participation.We will cover distinct, unique material each class meeting so it is IMPERATIVE you make each and every class session. Your ACTIVE participation in class EACH SESSION is also fully expected. In other words, either make this class a priority or do not enroll.
• Drop Policy.As per SRJC’s official attendance policy, I reserve the right to drop any students missing more than 10% of class meetings until the deadline to drop (one [1] or more). After that point, I reserve the right to DROP and/or FAIL any students missing more than 10% of class meetings (four [4] or more). ALSO, if you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it to avoid getting no refund (after 10% of course length), a W symbol (after 20%), or a grade (after 60%) (See Important Dates below, too).
• Emergency Evacuation Policy. In the case of an emergency, please follow my directions and do as I say, when I say. If an event requires our immediate evacuation, we will exit the classroom in a calm, orderly, and efficient manner, using the closest stairwell to exit the building. Once outside, we will gather in the open space in front of the library (one of several evacuation areas designated on campus) and await further instructions (see also https://petaluma.santarosa.edu/evacuation-areas).
• Instructor Email Announcements and Q&A Forum. I will send many updates via email, so make sure you are regularly checking your school-related email account(s). I will also post messages on the “Instructor Announcements” page in Canvas. Canvas notifies students according to their preferred Notification Preferences as soon as the instructor creates an Announcement.
• Important Enrollment/Drop Dates (see https://admissions.santarosa.edu/academic-calendar):
• August 25, 2019 Last day to register/add without instructor’s signature or add code
• September 1, 2019 Last day to drop semester length class and be eligible for a refund
• September 8, 2019 Last day to register/add with the instructor’s signature or add code
• September 8, 2019 Last day to drop a class without “W” symbol
• September 29, 2019 Last day to opt for P/NP
• November 17, 2019 Last day to drop a class with “W” symbol
• Pass – NoPass (P/NP). You may take this class P/NP. You must decide before the deadline, and add the option online with TLC or file the P/NP form with Admissions and Records. If taking Pass/No Pass you need at least 75% of the total class points and complete all exams and assignments to pass the class. NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO STUDENT’S STATUS AFTER THE DEADLINE.
• Standards of Conduct. Students who register in SRJC classes are required to abide by the SRJC Student Conduct Standards. Violation of the Standards is basis for referral to the Vice President of Student Services or dismissal from class or from the College. See also https://student-conduct.santarosa.edu/.
• Title IX Policy. I do not discriminate, neither does SRJC, and neither should you: “The Sonoma County Junior College District does not discriminate on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, ethnic group identification, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic condition, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information or sexual orientation in any of its policies, procedures or practices; nor does the District discriminate against any employees or applicants for employment on the basis of their age. This nondiscrimination policy covers admission, access and treatment in District programs and activities including but not limited to academic admissions, financial aid, educational services and athletics and application for District employment” (https://titleix.santarosa.edu/).
