HYBRID SOCIOLOGY THROUGH FILMS AND DISCUSSION
\
\
This course is an excellent and informative learning experience for all behavioral science learners, along with law, business, medicine, social work, substance abuse counseling, child care, history and political science, as well as education majors. General sociology gives an overview of the impact of our own and others societies on human development, along with how we as individuals influence our society. By the end of this course, learners should be able to:
\
\
STUDENT PERFORMANCE GOALS:
\
\
1) Learners will gain a working knowledge as to how individuals impact society, social situations, culture, institutions, and groups and how society impacts and shapes individuals in the process of socialization.
\
\
2) Learners will gain an understanding of how scientific methodology is applied to studying sociology.
\
\
3) Learners will analyze the major concepts and theories in the field of sociology.
\
\
4) Once learners develop these conceptual tools, they develop the ability to apply research findings and theories to real world social situations, such as dealing with race and ethnicity, culture, groups, conformity, gender issues, and family life.
\
\
5) Specific areas of study in sociology will be considered, such as crime and deviance, gender, race and ethnicity and prejudice, groups, and family life.
\
\
6) Students will be assigned various social topics to research and/or discuss in class, including, but not limited to, the death penalty, health reform, gay marriage, and financial and political reform, as current and relevant social issues impacting their lives.
\
\
7) By the end of this course, students will have a greater appreciation for diversity within societies, cultures and social institutions, and are able to think critically about issues in sociology that impact them. As well, students will be able to use this knowledge to better their own social relationships and society in practical ways.

Expected Student Behavior
STUDENT BEHAVIOR:
Students are expected to attend class, to participate in class and to prepare for class lectures and discussions by reading the text and doing homework assignments. Students are expected to turn off all electronic devices (if you have a sick child, you may bring your phone and put it on vibrate). Please do not engage in side conversations during class time, texting, reading newspapers, taking naps, and any other distracting behaviors. If you miss class, you are expected to contact the instructor and/or other students in the class to get information about the class. Since this instructor emails reminders via the AC ONLINE classroom announcement page, it's best to check into your AC ONLINE class frequently. As well, all course notes and assignments are in the AC ONLINE classroom folders, as directed by your instructor. It is your responsibility to get the information and printed materials, as well as take EXAMS in the AC Online classroom. If you don't have a computer, simply check the ones in the library. You can get onto AC ONLINE from any computer anywhere!
Each student is expected to engage in academic honesty, refraining from cheating or plagiarism. YOUR EXAMS ARE MEANT TO BE TAKEN BY YOU! IF THIS INSTRUCTOR LEARNS THAT YOU ARE COLLABORATING ON EXAMS, YOU WILL FAIL THE COURSE! Plagiarism on written work will NOT be tolerated. PLAGIARISM IS USING SOMEONE ELSES MATERIAL AS IF IT WERE WRITTEN OR ORIGINATED BY YOU.If you plagiarize, you can fail the assignment and receive a 0. Plagiarism means copying off of the internet, quoting directly without giving credit to the source, or using parts of another persons work as your own. Copying and pasting material off the internet is strictly forbidden! YOU MUST CITE ALL SOURCES AND HAVE A REFERENCE SECTION WITH APA STYLE CITATIONS FOR YOUR PAPER! PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE IN THIS BEHAVIOR. We have access to a plagiarism checker program and any paper that this instructor sees is plagiarized in part or in full, will be getting a 0 on the paper, and a letter of reprimand will be filed in your academic record. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER SOMETHING IS CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM, PLEASE ASK YOUR INSTRUCTOR BEFORE YOU ENGAGE IN QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR! AGAIN, I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS OFFENSE AND WILL NOT TOLERATE IT!!!
Students are expected to engage in appropriate "netiquette" in the ONLINE PORTIONS of this class AT ALL TIMES. Inappropriate online behaviors, such as swearing, discussion of inappropriate issues NOT related to the courseroom material, or any type of intolerance or rudeness to other learners will not be tolerated and may result in having to drop this course, failing the class, or dismissal from Amarillo College. Treat others as you like to be treated and everything should be fine!
Now, having said that, please remember that this is an COLLEGE LEVEL COURSE, and we will be discussing controversial issues in an ADULT MANNER! You are expected to act like an adult in these discussions and realize that others may think and feel differently than you on a host of issues related to sociology! Diversity is a GREAT THING and to be APPRECIATED in this instructors opinion. If you find something offensive that is said by another student OR your instructor, please don't hesitate to contact me and discuss this with me. However, it's important to remember that this course is not designed to CONFIRM YOUR OWN POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, but rather to get you to think about sociology, society, and people in a bigger way than you may have already been exposed to. IN THAT, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF UNCOMFORTABLE AT TIMES, AS YOU ARE BEING REQUIRED TO STRETCH OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! This is a part of what it means to get an education! Obviously, learning to see the world in a different light is the goal of this course! You are encouraged to debate others, and your instructor, in a polite BUT WELL INFORMED manner! If you want to debate a point made, all this instructor asks, is that you bring your sources and do a good job of backing up your ideas. In academics, we like well informed opinions! This is KEY to analytical and creative thinking and is the hallmark of what it means to have academic freedom! If you are not comfortable expressing your opinions in front of the class, you may obtain 10 extra credit points by WRITING a rebuttal paper. If your instructor feels that you have backed up your point of view with sources that are informed and expert on the topic, your instructor will READ your paper to the class (with your permission of course!). Let's enjoy the spirit of debate (and we will actually have a REAL DEBATE over the DEATH PENALTY in class...your instructor ONLY plays the time keeper and steering the discussion so that everyone is heard). I look forward to a REAL educational experience with you all!
If you have a complaint about this course, please contact me first. If you are uncomfortable doing that, you may contact my supervisor, Mr. Jerry Moller at DURR 212A, 371-5297
If you have a concern that something you want to say or write that you think might offend others in the classroom or in the online course-room, run it by me first. Simply contact me via the AC ONLINE class email. As well, if you are aware of any student being mistreated or harassed in this course (including yourself), please bring it to my immediate attention. We have zero tolerance for any student being mistreated here at Amarillo College. This will be a SAFE place for the expression of ideas and exchanges! Remember, you are an adult and differences in opinions, beliefs and ideas are a critical part of adult education! You are expected to be an adult in this class! Thank you for making our class a safe place to discuss ideas and to learn! ~ Dr. Harding
Grading Criteria
YOU CAN SEE YOUR GRADES FOR THIS COURSE AT ALL TIMES BY GOING TO THE COURSE HOMEPAGE, AND NEXT TO THE SYLLABUS LINK, BELOW THE ANNOUNCEMENTS, YOU WILL SEE A SECTION THAT SAYS "ABOUT THIS COURSE: CLICK HERE TO SEE YOUR GRADES". iF YOU THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GRADE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY, SO WE CAN GET IT CORRECTED RIGHT AWAY! THANKS!
Your final grade for this course will be based on the standard grading percentages:
-
89.45 - 100 = A
-
79.45 - 89.44 = B
-
69.45 - 79.44 = C
-
49.45 - 69.44 = D
-
Below 49.5 - F
Your final grade is based on the following items:
1 email to instructor = 5 points
5 discussions (count 4, worth 10 points each) = 40 points
12 attendances (count 10, worth 5 points each) = 50 points
1 short research paper over American Health Care Facts (15 POINTS) and 10 point quiz over course concepts on finals night = 25 points
1 INTRODUCE YOURSELF DISCUSSION (OPTIONAL) WORTH = 10 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT
TOTAL = 420 POINTS (WITH 10 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS)
(NO EXAM WILL BE DROPPED FOR THIS COURSE!)
You have 3 exams, each covering about 1/3 of the class material worth 100 points (300 points). THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS OVER THE FILMS ON THE EXAMS. On finals night, there will be a SHORT research paper and film, along with 15 questions over the class material for the FINAL (worth 25 points). Over the semester, there will also be discussions for points (a total of 5 discussions for 10 points each, but I count 4 = 40 points so you can miss one) over the films and one discussion to introduce yourself (10 extra credit points!). YOU ALSO HAVE TO SEND YOUR INSTRUCTOR AN EMAIL FROM THE AC ONLINE COURSEROOM, worth 5 points. I will take attendance 7 times and count 6 times (5 points each = 30 points). There are a total of 400 points for this course. YOU MUST TAKE all 3 EXAMS! Because the exams are given ONLINE and are open for 1 week, you will only be allowed to make up an exam for the most SERIOUS REASONS. If you miss an exam, please contact or see your instructor IMMEDIATELY! Again, forgetting to take the exam is NOT a SERIOUS EXCUSE!
WE may discuss the films in class as they relate to the lecture, AND you will have a couple of questions over each film on the EXAM. However, on most of the films, you will have an ONLINE DISCUSSION to participate in. Consider your discussions a COLLEGE LEVEL WRITING ASSIGNMENT! Note that you will be graded on your writing (excellent grammar and writing mechanics, as well as spelling are important), along with making a response to at least ONE OTHER STUDENT in the class. ABSOLUTELY NO TEXTING LANGUAGE MAY BE USED IN THE WRITING ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS CLASS. TEXTING LANGUAGE WILL GET YOU a BIG FAT ZERO on your discussion! This is a college course, not a text message to your friend!
The grading criteria for the course will be based on standard percentages of work done with 89.45 to 100% being an A, 79.45 to 89.44% being a B, 69.45-79.44% being a C, 49.45 to 69.44% being a D and below 49.50 being an F.
You can find your grades online in your AC ONLINE CLASSROOM for this course, click on the link on our COURSE HOMEPAGE that says ABOUT THIS COURSE: CLICK HERE TO SEE YOUR GRADES. If you don't know how ANGEL works, it's your responsiblity to be sure and take the ANGEL online tutorial, so you understand how the classroom works.You will find a box that says "ABOUT THIS SECTION", and there is a link" CLICK here to SEE YOUR GRADES". Please let me know immediately is this is not working properly!
I work hard to get your grades posted in a timely manner so you can view them and keep updated on your percentage, as I know your grades are important to you.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE YOUR GRADES OR YOU BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GRADE! I'M HUMAN AND OUR ONLINE ANGEL SYSTEM IS FALLIBLE, SO THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM! LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN FIX IT TOGETHER!
Attendance
90% of success is SHOWING UP! ~ Woody Allen
This class only meets a total of 16 times (ONLY ONCE A WEEK FOR ONE AND 1/2 HOURS!) and. as sucH, all students are expected to make every effort in attending every class. Each student will be expected to complete all assignments online, to do their reading, watch the films, engage in online discussions. Classtime is only meant as time to answer questions, discuss the high points of each of these chapters, and to assist students in their efforts to understand and master the material. Attendance will be taken 10 times over the semester...be sure you are there each time.
While it may be tempting to skip classes, know that the #1 factor linked with good grades IS class attendance. I will be taking attendance at the beginning of the class, 10 times during the semester, worth 5 points each time. Some of those times, we have an in-class lab. Each student will be allowed to miss only ONE class over these 15 weeks of classes, with NO PENALTY to their grade. Since attendance points are given at the beginning of class, tardiness will result in a loss of points. PLEASE...BE READY FOR CLASS, READ YOUR CHAPTER before class AND PRINT OFF YOUR POWER POINT NOTES! BE THERE, BE CONSCIOUS, AND BE ON TIME! IT'S DISRUPTIVE TO OTHERS TO SHOW UP LATE! IT'S DISRUPTIVE TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPIC TO NOT BE IN CLASS! ~ THANKS! DR. HARDING

CALENDAR FALL 2012: General Sociology 1301 HYBRID: Sec 03 ~ TUESDAY: 5:30 - 6:45 PM
DURING THIS COURSE, WE MEET TWICE ONCE A WEEK FOR 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES! A hybrid course means that you do 50% of all WE HAVE A LOT TO COVER so be sure you come ON TIME, ready to work, having read the material. I will be touching on the high points of the chapters, and we will have lots of class discussions, interactive demonstrations and exercises, as well as a debate. I expect you to do the reading, the work, and come to class with questions!
Exam 1 covers chapters 1, 2 , 3, THeory handout, SCIENCE Lab, and the BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING and WILD CHILD films (WORTH 100 POINTS)
Exam 2 covers chapters 4, 5 6 and film and African Americans in Criminal Justice system handout, and the HUMAN BEHAVIOR EXPERIMENTS film (WORTH 100 POINTS)
Exam 3 covers chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10, (WORTH 100 POINTS), as well as the PEOPLE BOMB AND CLASS DIVIDED films. In case of inclement weather or other issues, we may drop chapter 10 from the final.

No makes- ups will be given EXCEPT IN THE MOST SERIOUS OF SITUATIONS! "I forgot we had a test" is not a serious situation or I missed this exam because I was hungover for a week! Sorry! Don't wait until the last minute to take your exams. This is a dangerous strategy! EXAM 1 is the ONLY exam you get to TAKE TWICE! In case you haven't had an online exam before, I will allow you 2 attempts. DURING FINALS WEEK, YOU WILL HAVE A PAPER DUE, A FILM TO WATCH AND A SHORT QUIZ AT THE END OF THIS. FINAL TIME FOR THIS COURSE IS THURSDAY (NOT TUESDAY) AT 5:30 PM TO 7:30 PM IN THE SAME ROOM.
NOTE: THE INSTRUCTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE ANY PORTION OF THIS CALENDAR, DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, INSTRUCTORS'S ABSENCE OR OTHER UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES! THIS CALENDAR IS NOT SET IN STONE.
