"Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."
-- Paulo Freire, educator (1921 - 1997)

PLEASE NOTE --
The orientation meetings for these class/es is/are REQUIRED!!

The orientation and a minimum of three additional on-campus meetings for exams are required for both of the Sociology 321 classes and the Sociology 343 class; these meetings times will be noted on the class syllabus available at the beginning of the semester. If there is a higher demand for "adds" than may be accommodated, a lottery system will be utilized at the first orientation meeting.
Looking to add one of these classes, but no room on the official waitlist?? Come to the scheduled orientation to be included in secondary waitlist. Being listed on either the primary or secondary waitlist is NOT a guarantee that you will be able to add the class!!
A note about online and distance education class structure....
While you will not be required to be online during specific hours, there are assignments and / or discussion boards due EVERY week!! If you are taking the telecourse format for Soc. 321, there is no requirement for online work as hard copies of written assignments are due each week (delivery mode to be discussed at orientation). I am flexible with how you schedule your time in this class during each week, however I am also a big fan of deadlines, and maintaining them for the purpose of fairness and academic rigor.
To log on to online class/es once you have officially registered with the college for the course/s (NOTE: online classes may not be available until the beginning of the semester) --
