Central to the course is a review of major sociological research traditions, including but not limited to: experiments, surveys, observational studies, ethnography, interviews, focus groups, and analysis of available data, including online sources and other digital media. Exposing and training students who intend to major in sociology to the research methods that sociologists use to create knowledge facilitates an understanding of the connection between theory and research, develops critical thinking skills by teaching students how to evaluate sociological knowledge, and lays the groundwork for our upper-division coursework, in particular our upper-division “hands-onmethods courses (108 series).

Great professor, methods is supposed to be the hardest soc class but he made it really straightforward and I wasn't overwhelmed with the workload or concepts. Definitely recommend taking as a soc major to fill this requirement.

SOC108ST . Turowetz J 4 Months Ago

He is a very passionate professor and really does a good job explaining topics. There was one midterm and final with 50 multiple choice questions each. He does a review of the topics on the test before so if you study the concepts then you should be fine. The tests are non cumulative. There are 4 other assignments assigned throughout the quarter.

SOC10 . Turowetz J 9 Months Ago

Lectures were a little boring at times, but Professor Turowetz explains concepts simply and gives many examples. It is clear how much she cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Midterms weren't too bad as long as you study. No cumulative final. Writing assignments were time consuming at times, hardest part is the TA's grading on these!

easygoing professor, straightforward material

SOC10 . Turowetz J 11 Months Ago

Besides his voice being fairly monotone and making me sleepy, he's a great lecturer. His slides were helpful. He always posted a midterm and final review. Readings and assignments were easy to understand. There were 4 assignments and he would allow you to turn them in late with a small penalty.
