Reading, Writing, and Social Science Social Science is embedded in active participation in social life. However, for students to analyze this participation, it is necessary for them to step outside their everyday experiences. The best way to do this is by reading widely, and integrating ideas by writing and discussing. Accordingly, the reading and writing assignments in this course are fundamental to introducing social science as a field. Students are encouraged to ask questions during class, and also discuss course materials with the instructor and other students.
