Talk:Introduction to Sociology

Comment on Theory
It is also lacking any mention to the fourth paradigm of Sociology, Feminism.

I have added Manuel Castells to the list:

Future Directions
Eventually, each chapter should have research examples as a section.

Removed Content
I removed the following as the links were no longer working or not of adequate quality (Rcragun (talk) 15:59, 26 January 2010 (UTC)):
 * Societies Resources This will take you to a .rar file that contains my syllabus, presentations and a blank gradebook. This course is called Societies, it is similar to Intro to Sociology but has a more global focus, comparing US society to other societies as a theme. The course was intended for a summer class - twelve 3-hour sessions (with a little work it can be tweaked for a normal summer/fall term which it was based upon, major modification includes less long videos), and includes a favorite of mine - a Wikipedia-based assignment. The 3h sessions were structured into 1) lecture 2) video 3) discussion. All materials are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, and contributors include myself (Piotr Konieczny), Salvatore Babones (whose original slides form the major part of the course) and Ryan T. Cragun, whose Introduction to Sociology (above) has been partially incorporated into my slides. If the link is broken, please leave me a message and I'll re-upload it. The file does not contain 1) tests and test answers - I can send those to instructors upon request as long as they present some proof they are instructors, not students and 2) copyrighted readings/videos (for obvious reasons)
 * Sociological Snippets by Dan Brook, Ph.D. provides a series of nuggets of basic sociology with links for each one.
