Questions? Let me know.
Welcome to Sociology 273!
We're excited to have you here. Course work starts immediately. Students should download a copy of the syllabus and look over the assignments and expectations for the semester.
New Compass Website
The formal website for this course is now located on Compass. You can login here.
Textbook Readings
Students should be reading the text book continuously throughout the course. The first chapter of the textbook is available for download. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later in order to view the file.
The library has ordered a copy to be placed on reserve. I don't know when it will be in, but if I hear I will let you know. They got the request on the 24th so I suspect it will be here in about a week.
Article Readings
I'm still waiting on the readings from the Professor but I did manage to find one in the UIUC databases. Go ahead and read
Riddance to ‘The Family’: A Response to David Popenoe by Judith Stacy
I'll post the other one as soon as I can!
Course Materials and Text
I just stopped by IUB today and there were plenty of brand new texts and readers available for purchase. If you're trying to find the materials for cheaper just download the first chapter.
If you'd like to buy your books online look for:
Textbook: Public and Private Families by Andrew Cherlin, 5th Edition.
