Sociology of Morality (Writing Intensive) Credit Hours: 3 Analyzes the definition and response to right and wrong in human societies. Moral conflict occurs throughout social life, though it varies greatly in intensity and type. This course asks: Why are some groups highly tolerant, while others are highly repressive? This version of the course will be taught as writing intensive, which means that the course will include substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) relate clearly to course learning; b) teach the communication values of a discipline, for example, its practices of argument, evidence, credibility, and format; and c) prepare students for further writing in their academic work, in graduate school, and in professional life. The written assignments will result in a significant and diverse body of written work (the equivalent of 6000 words or 25 pages) and the instructor (and/or the teaching assistant assigned to the course) will be closely involved in student writing, providing opportunities for feedback and substantive revision. Scheduling for this course has not yet been determined. Prerequisites: SOCI 1101 or SOCI 1101H or SOCI 2600 or permission of department. Duplicate Credit: Not open to students with credit in SOCI 4800 Course Type: Writing Intensive Level: Undergraduate
