The videos are synchronized approximately with the order of chapters in the textbook. My name is Gary Gustafson, and I am a full time sociology Instructor at Spokane Community College. I generally check messages daily. Sociology Sociology is the scientific study of social structure and human society. It attempts to explain why people behave socially the way they do.
Most people seem to find sociological insights interesting and provocative.
Successful sociology students eventually learn that because they have used a familiar term all their lives a certain way, there is no guarantee sociology will define it the same way. The telecourse format is not customary, therefore telecourse students must usually adopt non-customary study habits to reach their goals. Approximately fifty contact hours involving interaction between the instructor and students are missing. This puts tremendous responsibility on individuals to either know how to learn on their own, or learn how to learn on their own. But, for the most part, the student is alone with the textbook.
