It needs more than the exercises, I can't make my students buy a second book just for exercises.

An excellent resource with some creative tasks that really help my 1st year undergraduates to exercise their 'sociological imaginations'. This book has been passed around the office so many times I am struggling to keep track of its whereabouts!

I found this text very useful for small group excersises and tutorial material. I think it may be more useful for lecturers than for students as students tend to be focused on the key core material rather than learning techniques. However, for lecturers wanting to utilise active learning techniques in the classroom this is a great book to kickstart that process, and it offers ideas for most of the key areas taught in Introductory Sociology classes.

Some of the activities were great, but my class size is too large to do many of them in an effective way. I would definitely use it if I had a smaller group.

Very practical text which shall be utilised through teaching and recommended for students to further understand that subject area, however not essential reading.

About This Title

CourseSmart

“A great source for kinesthetic learning activities. I’ve used the book for designing my course for multiple learning styles.”
—Megan Thiele, University of California, Irvine

This student workbook is designed to allow you to easily integrate multiple active learning exercises into your Introduction to Sociology courses. Many teachers want to use “active learning” in their class, but don’t have the materials commensurate with that pedagogy. These 51 active learning exercises have been carefully selected from a nationwide search of the best class-tested active learning material available in sociology. Affordably priced, this workbook provides the best that sociology has to offer!

Key and New Features

  • Offers many fresh exercises—about 40% of the assignments are new to this edition
  • Features tear-out worksheets for ease of submission and grading
  • Presents a wide variety of exercises in terms of content, time required, usefulness for individual or group completion, and relevance for in-class or out-of-class practice

Accompanied by High-Quality Ancillaries!
Instructor Resources on CD provide detailed information on using, grading, and adapting the exercises. In addition the CD also includes commentary from the contributing authors explaining their experiences with the exercises, including how they promote specific learning goals and how current instructions to students facilitate the assignment. This CD-ROM features new components to the summary chart for instructors that indicate which assignments have web components, which have global aspects, and other criteria to help professors select the most useful exercises for their teaching needs. Qualified instructors may receive a copy by contacting SAGE at 1-800-818-SAGE (7243) between 6 am – 5 pm, PST.

Intended Audience
The book is designed as the ideal active learning companion to virtually all Introduction to Sociology texts, making it an ideal supplemental text for any undergraduate Introduction to Sociology or Principles of Sociology course.
