I am currently away at a social studies conference. Today you will be working to prepare yourself for the Sociology Mid-term exam. Below you will find a review outline with the terms and concepts that you will need to know for the test. If there is a question you should answer it, if there is just a term or concept, you should write a definition or explanation. You will not be expected to memorize "textbook" definitions on this exam, so you should focus on being able to explain things in your own words. The completed review assignment below is due on Monday 11/16 (Gold) or Tuesday 11/17 (Maroon) and should be uploaded to eBackpack Assignment #13. The test will be taken in class on Wednesday 11/18 (Gold) or Thursday 11/19 (Maroon). Thanks!
