Choose OUR SOCIAL WORLD and a portion of royalties automatically go towards the new SAGE Pine Forge Award!SAGE and Pine Forge Press have developed an Awards Fund in partnership with the American Sociological Association, participating authors, and regional sociological societies to defray costs for graduate students and untenured faculty (by amounts of $1000 each) who wish to attend the ASA’s annual pre-conference on Preparing Future Faculty.Intended Audience: This is an ideal text for undergraduate courses in introductory sociology such as Introduction to Sociology and Principles of Sociology.Congratulations to Kathleen McKinney for Receiving ASA’s 2006 Distinguished Contributions to Teaching Award!Interested in organizing your introductory course around a reasonable number of active learning projects but can't find the right range and quality of materials? Sociology Through Active Learning is the perfect solution! Many teachers want to use "active learning" in their class, but don't have the materials commensurate with that pedagogy. Now you have the best that sociology has to offer! The exercises in the book are designed to give students the chance to explore in-depth some of the most important ideas in the discipline, by providing hands-on experience investigating empirical and theoretical questions related to your class. The exercises have been carefully selected from a nationwide search of the best class-tested active learning materials available in sociology. The exercises can be used as you choose: as in-class exercises, as out-of-class required homework, and as out-of-class optional or extra-credit work. Some can be accomplished alone; others involve team-work. You might grade them; you might simply give credit or no credit. Even in large classes, you can involve your students in active, hands-on work. Each exercise in the student book comes with detailed instructions and a tear-out work sheet for ease of submission and grading. In the faculty guide, the authors of the exercises have written about their experiences with the exercise, including how it furthers specific learning goals and how the current instructions to students facilitate the assignment. They give suggestions for grading the students' work and indicate an effective time allotment for the exercise.
