Welcome to SOC. 340 Blog: Spring 2010

Welcome to the place in the "blogosphere" set up for this course, Sociology 340: The Development of Sociological Theory." We will be using this space over the course of the semester for what I call "individual and group activities and exercises," and for occasional posting of lecture notes and reminders. As I note in the syllabus, I would suggest that you check this site out at least once a week. I will usually give you notice in class if I will be posting anything on this blog or if there is an activity I'd like you to do. Often, if I feel that I did not do a terribly good job presenting something in class, I may use this blog space to make amends and try to clarify or elaborate on some remarks I made in class. You will need to check this blog prior to the midterm and final exams for some questions (and answers) that will appear on each of those tests. Finally, I hope you will feel free to use this space to post any questions or comments you may not feel comfortable verbalizing in class.

BY THE END OF THIS FIRST WEEK I WILL BE POSTING A "GET-YOUR-FEET-WET" INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY TO GET YOU ACCUSTOMED TO USING THIS BLOG. BE LOOKING FOR IT.
