This introductory level course is project-based and aboriginal centred. The goal of the course is to nurture a sociological imagination or perspective within an aboriginal context by presenting and critically examining basic theories, research tools and language in current use by sociologists.
Information for the course can be gathered from in-class presentations, lectures, slide-lectures including guest speakers, videos, selected texts, web-based resources and tutorials. Students will be encouraged to weave relevant aspects of everyday life experience and information gleaned from these resources into weekly classroom thematic discussions. Visual arts will be used to stimulate discussion.
This course aims to encourage students:
Macionis, John J. and Linda M. Gerber (1999) Sociology: Third Canadian Edition. Scarborough, ON: Prentice Hall Canada. This includes a CD-ROM.
Visualization You should ALWAYS record your student number on all documents you submit for grading. Also when appropriate, make copies of papers or assignments you submit. ALWAYS make hard copies (print out) of your work. ALWAYS make back-up copies of work done on computers.
In accordance with the Carleton University Calendar (p. 48), the letter grades assigned in this course will have the following percentage equivalents:
There will be two examinations in this course. One is worth 10%. The final exam is worth 20% of the final grade. Examinations will cover lecture material and assigned readings. This may include multiple choice, short answers and essay type questions. The first quiz will be on March 2, 2001 and the final examination will be scheduled according to registrar's office during examination period (April 11 - 28, 2001). Final grades are subject to the Dean's approval. Supplemental and Grade-Raising Examinations are no longer available. Instructors are now required to attach a written explanation for grade distributions that fall outside historic GPAs. (Ex. 100 level courses usually have considerably more B's than A's and class average is usually a C.)
