Student Outcomes for the Department of Sociology Outcomes expected of majors: Method(s) of Assessing: Subject matter knowledge ETS Sociology Major Fields Test Results from GRE for students electing to take examination Performance in Senior Seminar for Social Science Majors Critical thinking ETS Sociology Major Fields Test, Critical Thinking scores Performance in Senior Seminar for Social Science Majors Analytical thinking Performance in required Statistics and Research classes Communication skills Performance in upper-division classes in Sociologyand Social Science Majors ( Research, Theory, Senior Seminar) Computer literacy Performance in SO-210, Computer Applications inSocial Science, a required course for Sociology and Social Science majors Job market experience Alumni survey results 1. How are results of the assessment process used to decide if program changes are needed? Student evaluations are employed in tenure, promotion, and merit decisions at the departmental level. If student evaluations suggest there is a legitimate problem in how a particular faculty member teaches a class, then the chair discusses the problem with the affected professor. The emphasis is definitely on how to work out the problem consistent with the principle of academic freedom and in a constructive way. The results of the ETS Sociology Major Field Test have been used to diagnosis gaps, omissions, weaknesses in curriculum. For example, our students have scored low in the area of demography. We discuss this finding at department meetings. Individual faculty attempt to address this issue in the classes they teach where demography comes into play.

The department is a joint one, which combines teaching and research in political science, sociology and areas of social policy. It contributes with the Department of Economics to the integrated Social Sciences programme in Lingnan University. The broad base of teaching and research expertise enables the department to deliver a very strong contribution to the interdisciplinary Social Sciences programme and to the Liberal Arts philosophy of Lingnan University. While endeavouring to introduce students to all the major cognate sub-disciplines within political science, the politics staff within the department focus on comparative politics, political thought, Asian politics and international relations in their teaching to second and third-year students. Politics staff have particularly strong research interests in Hong Kong politics, Chinese politics and foreign policy, international relations of the Asia Pacific region, political sociology, and environmental politics. In the sociology area, staff teach the major sub-disciplines and introductory courses which give students a sound understanding of sociological concepts and the workings of modern society. More advanced courses focus on social gerontology, the family and social change and social issues such as crime and delinquency, social justice, ageing and adaptation. There is a strong linkage to research in the Asia-Pacific Institute of Ageing Studies in Lingnan and the area of social policy for an ageing population is a main research and teaching interest.

68. Department Of Sociology: About Us As the first cohort of students moved into the second year, however, it was necessary to secure someone to teach a course in introductory sociology. http://www.utoronto.ca/sociology/about/history.html

The History of The Department of Sociology The following document is also available to download in PDF format . If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, click here for a free download The materials below are excerpted from the book "A Quarter-Century of Sociology at the University of Toronto 1963-1988, A Commemorative Volume with Essays by S.D. Clark and Oswald Hall", edited by R. Helmes-Hayes, Canadian Scholar's Press, 1988. HOW THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY CAME INTO BEING S.D. CLARK By stretching a point it could be said that sociology had its beginning, at the University of Toronto at least, in 1915. It was in that year that R.M. MacIver joined the faculty of the university. As a lecturer in political philosophy at the University of Aberdeen before coming to Toronto, as he relates in his autobiography, As a Tale that is Told, MacIver had developed a strong interest in sociology and his continued interest in the area while at Toronto was evident in the extended revision of his sociological study, The Community. It was only after moving to Columbia University in 1927, however, that he gained recognition as a sociologist. At the University of Toronto all his teaching was in the area of political science and he appears to have had no influence upon the later development of sociology at this university. To E.J. Urwick belongs the credit for the establishment of a teaching programme in sociology at the University of Toronto. After retiring from the London School of Economics and Political Science as a professor of social philosophy, Urwick had come to Canada with the intention of settling in Vancouver (he was a man of private means). However, a bitter struggle between two senior professors for the headship of what was then known as the Department of Political Science on MacIver's leaving led Sir Robert Falconer, the president of the university, to persuade Urwick to assume the post. Soon after, he was also appointed Acting Director of the School of Social Work, then known as the Department of Social Science, a position he was to hold (as a result of the prolonged illness of the director) until his retirement from the university .

Home Introduction Academics Faculty ... Course Pages The following is an article about Grinnell's Sociology and Religious Studies Lecturer, Sylvia Thorson-Smith , which was published in the Grinnell Magazine during the summer of 1994. Using Feminism and Humor to Teach Sex and Religion by Denise Lamphier-Hoffert EVEN GOD LIKES TO LAUGH. She must. If she didn't, perhaps Sylvia Thorson-Smith, lecturer in religious studies and sociology, wouldn't have such a good sense of humor. Since the mid-1970s, Thorson-Smith has collected cartoons that focus on sexuality, feminism, and religious issues. "I have them on my office door. My refrigerator is covered with them," she says. She uses cartoons in her sociology and religious studies classes at Grinnell College because they make good ice-breakers. In the Human Sexuality in the U.S. classone of the most popular courses the sociology department offerscartoons help her talk to students about what is funny and what is offensive about sex. And sometimes cartoonslike the one shown here by Mike Petersexpose the heart of the issue in a millisecond, Thorson-Smith says.

73. Three Activities Form The Common Core Of Most Sociological Work teaching Despite the broad applicability of sociology at the BA level, a substantial majority of graduatelevel sociologists teach, whether in high schools http://www.cup.edu/liberalarts/sociology/teach.htm

Home Faculty About the Program Careers Three activities form the common core of most sociological workteaching, research, and practice. MA and PhD graduates, especially professors, may engage in all three simultaneously or at different times in their careers. BA graduates usually work in research or in applied settings in which the sociological perspective adds valued insights. Teaching: Despite the broad applicability of sociology at the BA level, a substantial majority of graduate-level sociologists teach, whether in high schools, two-year colleges, four-year colleges, or universities. Sociology is a rewarding field to convey to others. It combines the importance of social relevance with the rigor of a scientific discipline. Faculty Member in a Liberal Arts College Current position: While finishing her doctoral thesis, Joanna successfully competed for a position on the faculty of a small liberal arts college. After five years of high performance, Joanna has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure, which serves as a safeguard of academic freedom. Responsibilities: Joanna teaches introduction to sociology, social problems, and the sociology of sex and gender. Occasionally she teaches during the summer for additional pay. She helps students make choices among career goals, works with students and faculty on campus-wide projects, and is active in community programs that serve the homeless. Since college programs emphasize general education, Joanna works with faculty members from other disciplines.

Back to Menu Strategic Planning Document Department of Sociology Montclair State University February, 1998 Mission . The mission of the sociology department is to help students develop what C.Wright Mills called "the sociological imagination"—the ability to see the link between the individual and larger social forces, or as Mills put it, the link between biography and history. We teach student to understand the importance of factors beyond the individual: culture and social structure, the human group and social institutions, the microsocial normative order and large demographic trends. The department also seeks to inculcate in students an appreciation of scientific method, and of the necessity for clear, logical thinking and systematic evidence. Finally, the department seeks to broaden students’ perspectives and make them aware of the rich diversity of people and cultures in New Jersey, the U.S., and the world We try to provide this education for several types of students: those who will go on to graduate work in sociology or some allied academic or professional field; those who will, after graduation, seek jobs in which a sociological background will be of benefit; those who while majoring in other fields take sociology courses as part of their general education; and those who have come to MSU as graduate students and seek more sophisticated skills that might be applied to current problems in a variety of settings.

Planning A Career with a Bachelor's of Arts in Sociology? One of the most common questions asked of any sociology professor is, "What can I do with a Sociology BA?" In reality, there are several answers to this question. The American Sociological Association has a web site that outlines possible career paths and offers tips for how to apply to graduate school - (http://www.asanet.org/student/career/homepage.html) First, a Sociology BA provides you with a useful background for some specific jobs. For example, employers in fields such as criminal justice, human services, or personnel and industrial relations often employ sociology majors in a variety of capacities in their organizations. Students who pursue graduate training in sociology and related fields can also expect to find employment in fields such as teaching, research, planning, social work, and public policy. If you are interested in a career in one of these fields, there are several things you can do to make yourself more attractive to a prospective employer. You may want to choose your elective courses in sociology (as well as your general electives)

80. Dr. Richard A. Settersten - Sociology @ CWRU Because one of the concentrations of our department is the sociology of aging and the life course, I have had the opportunity to teach in this area. http://socwww.cwru.edu/Settersten/teaching.html

Dr. Richard A. Settersten, Jr. middle Department Of Sociology Dr. Settersten Home Research Teaching Regular Courses Service Faculty Home Sociology Home ... CWRU Home Teaching and Mentoring Let me to confess something straight away: I love to teach. As I develop my courses, I think about my own experiences as a student, and what I had found positive or negative about different teaching styles, learning experiences, and classroom environments. My own enthusiasm often had less to do with the material itself than with having a challenging, passionate, and personal instructor willing to take risks; an open and affirming classroom setting; a detailed syllabus; and clear and high set of expectations. I strive to offer courses that contain these elements. I try to create assignments, discussion exercises, study questions, and examinations that push students to apply, think critically about, and synthesize course ideas, and I require students to write a great deal. In these ways, I hope to achieve a reputation as a “mentor” and “facilitator” of learning rather than a “professor” of it. Because one of the concentrations of our department is the sociology of aging and the life course, I have had the opportunity to teach in this area. These include The Life Course, which examines how social forces shape patterns of human growth and change from birth to death; Self and Society, which examines the imprint of historical events and periods of social change on individuals, families, and social generations; and Methods of Life-Course Research, an advanced graduate course in quantitative and archival research methods.
