*Demonstrate a willingness to learn from many cultures, persons, methods, and
viewpoints.
This course will help you develop the skills to:
* Demonstrate the ability to think critically through discussions of the reading
and class material.
This course will give you the knowledge to:

between the self and the community.
Note: Often people have had traumatic experiences or have strong feelings on certain
topics. If you feel any of the topics in the text or class will be emotionally damaging to
you, or difficult to learn about or discuss, or would create a “hostile environment” for you
- do not take this course. If you have a disability of any type, you should contact the
Educational Assistance Center.

Instructor’s background
Your instructor has an AA degree from Fullerton J.C., B.A. and Masters degrees
from California State University at Fullerton, and a doctorate (Ph.D. degree) from the
University of Washington. He is a full time tenured instructor at North Seattle
Community College, and has taught at NSCC for over 35 years. Prior to teaching at
NSCC, he taught at Jamestown College (a four year college) and at St. Phillips
Community College.
Your instructor has taught this Sociology course over 200 times during the past
30+ years as a classroom course, a hybrid course, or a fully online distance learning
course.
He has also had experience in the following areas: a public mental health clinic in
Seattle, the Educational Psychology Clinic at the University of Washington, The Adult
Development Program within the Dept of Psychiatry, in the School of Medicine at the
University of Washington, and the Sexual Dysfunction Clinic – Dept. of Psychiatry –
School of Medicine – University of Washington.
He has also visited and talked to inmates in the following institutions: Monroe
Penitentiary, Shelton Penitentiary, Purdy Women’s Correctional Center, Echo Glen
reformatory and Mc.Neil Island Penitentiary.
Other travel experiences include trips to: Europe, Japan, China, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska,
the Caribbean, Egypt and Greece.
Teaching Philosophy
In general, the objective of my instruction is to help you understand the terms and
concepts presented in the course.
Explanations are often given in the form of stories, examples, and case studies to
elaborate on the concepts presented. These ideas are often presented visually in power
point slides (sometimes accompanied by photographs). For auditory learners, the class
presentations are recorded. Finally, for those who do best reading, the text supplements
the class information.
The objective of the class presentations, is to not only dispense information you
need for the exams and the Study Guides, but also to give you the feeling of being in a
class along with the spontaneous stories and examples to aid you understanding of the
material. Recordings also give you a feeling of the instructor’s personality so he is seen
as a real person rather than a written lecture. I like to feel it gives you the “heart and
mind” of a class that you would get no other way. This also gives you the ability to pause
and rewind the presentation, which you can not do in class.

Grading:
Grading consists of the four midterms, and one comprehensive exam.
Exams:
There are four midterm exams (50 pts. each) and one comprehensive exam (85
pts.). They are all multiple choice. The four midterm exams are not cumulative and cover
only the chapters for that exam. The exams will test your knowledge of concepts, terms,
and findings. You will also be asked to apply some of the fundamental concepts to new
situations.
How to do well on the exams:
The exams come from the text and many additional items to help you understand
the material. Use the Course Calendar at the end of this syllabus to keep yourself on track
so you will have covered the material and understand it before the exam date. To
understand each topic, listen to the class presentation, take notes, and complete the exam
concepts.
Before the exam, listen to the exam review and revisit these items in your text.
The “How to Study”, sheet in this syllabus, discusses how to read the text material prior
to listening to the class.
Study Guides for exams:
Go to: Course Resources >Useful Links > Study Guides. This file gives you a study
guide for each chapter. These are designed directly from the exams. While you read the
text, listen to the class presentations, and view the Power Point slides, keep these sheets
with you, and work toward being able to answer each of the questions. These will then
help you during the exams.
Taking the exams:
When taking the exams on line you may use the study guides, your text, or
dictionary. You may not have anyone else helping you in any way. When taking the
exams, you must answer one question before going on. You may not go back. Also, If
you skip a question you may not go back to answer it. It is best to have an answer for
each question.
How to take an exam:
NOTE *** Turn off the pop-up blocker in your web browser
To turn off the pop-up blocker. With Firefox, go to tools > Options >Content, and
uncheck the "Block pop up window". With Explorer, go to Tools > Pop-up blocker >
Turn off pop-up blocker.
1. Log in and go to your course home page.
2. Click on “Lessons” > then Exam number > then “Begin Now” > then “Continue”
(Note the time remaining in your upper right corner)
3. Answer the first question >then click “Next” (Answer all questions) >
4. Finally, when all questions are answered, click “Submit” then “OK”.
7
Note: Your time remaining is shown in the upper right hand corner. At the end of that
time, the exam will automatically stop and will not be reset. Therefore, please watch your
time remaining.
Trial Exam:
There is currently a trial (ungraded) exam under the “Lessons” (Exams) tab to
familiarize you with the test taking system. You may take this exam unlimited times.
The real exams can only be taken once. You are not expected to know the answers to
these questions, and it is not graded. This is just a trial run to be sure you know how to
take an exam.
Exam Scoring:
The score you receive will be the grade indicated by the computer. I feel this is
the fairest for the largest number of students. While I am glad to discuss the exam with
you, it will not change your score. Any changes in question wording, etc. will be
considered for next quarter, but will not be used to change scores this quarter.
Make-up exams:
For students who miss a scheduled examination, one make-up session will be held. You
may make-up any one of the four previous midterm exams (not the final comprehensive
exam) at that time. There will be no make-up exams at any other times (see the “Course
Calendar” for the make-up date). Since there is no make-up or retaking for the final
exam, do not miss it!
Retake exams:
If you feel you did not perform at the level you expected on an exam, you may retake one
exam. In all cases, you will receive the higher of the two scores as your final grade.
Please see the “Course Calendar” for the retake date. There will be no exam retakes at
any other time.
Please note: The date for retaking an exam, and making up an exam is the same day.
Therefore, if you have taken all the exams, you may retake one, however, if you have
missed an exam, this period would need to be used for making up this missed exam. If
you missed two, you will receive a zero (“0”) on one of them.
Therefore, you may take only one exam. It can be either a make-up or a retake exam, but
not both. If you take more than one exam, I will only use your first score.
Make-up and retake exams are considered more difficult
I recommend you take the exams as scheduled. Generally, the retake and make-up exams
are considered more difficult. The difference is that I tend to "teach to the test" and
review for the scheduled exams.
The retake and make-up exams are only from the text. I ask the computer to randomly
select questions from a database of questions (e.g. randomly select 50 questions from
8
chapters 1-4). These exams look the same (e.g. 50 multiple choice questions) however,
they will have different questions than the originally scheduled exam.
Remember, if you take the original exam, regardless of your score, you can always retake
it and receive the higher of the two scores.
Discussions:
Throughout the quarter, you may talk with other students by sending comments,
and obtaining replies. This is the distance learning equivalent of talking in class.
There are suggested questions to spark discussion by going to: Course Resources >
Useful Links > Discussion Questions. An introduction to the discussion questions is
covered in the first file entitled, “00_Intro.Dr.Bob'sQuestions.doc”.
As in class, there is no additional credit for comments and discussions, however,
it makes the class more interesting.

How To:
How to post your comments for a discussion:
1. From the class homepage, click on “Discussion Forums > Class Discussion”.
2. Click on “New Post”
3. Put in the title and type your posting
4. Click “Save”
How to reply to a post:

3. Often, simply turning off “pop-up blockers” on your web browser will solve problems.
4. Another way to check your browser is to try all the class activities, such as the Power
Points, the recordings, and the class materials. If these all work, you are ok. If you still
have questions, call one of the distance learning resources on the first page of this
syllabus.
How to see your grades:
Your exam grade will be available when the time for taking the exam is
completed. Your grade will show up in the box on the right side of the page when you go
to that exam. Due to the digital ability to copy all the questions and archive them, or
email them to friends and relatives, you will not be able to see individual questions. If
you wish to come to my office, you may see, but not copy, individual questions at that
time.
How to see your final course grade:
You may check your grades via the internet at: NSCC home page > Online
Services > Look Up Your Grades. Put in your Student ID and Student PIN, then click on
“Get My Transcript”.
How to do a class evaluation:
You will receive an email from the Seattle Community College District near the
end of the quarter. You may anonymously complete and return this evaluation to the
District. There are two forms; one is multiple choice, and the other is an essay
opportunity. I will only see the anonymous results after the grades have been handed in.
To be sure your email is current, you may go to: NSCC Home page > Online Services >
Maintenance > Update Your Address, Email, or Phone.

How to withdraw from the course: You may withdraw from a course via the internet at:
NSCC home page > Online Services > Register/Add/Drop Classes, and follow the
directions.
Netiquette and Privacy
Words can mean many things and what we intend to say is not always what others hear.
This is especially true of "online communication" during which other students do not
have the opportunity to see your "body language" and therefore have a greater possibility
of misunderstanding what you truly mean.
Please, follow these guidelines in all your online discussions.
RESPECT. We would like to suggest respectful exchanges as a basic ground rule.
We feel that informational errors should be pointed out- respectfully (even if stated
strongly...). Disagreements that honor the viewpoints of the various contributors are
productive and can lead to new learning and understanding.
PRIVACY. Keep in mind not only your own privacy rights but others as well. Do
not reveal any information that you deem private.
BE CONSIDERATE of grammatical/spelling errors.
REMEMBER that humor and satire are often misinterpreted online.
Communication is more than words. So, be prepared for some misunderstanding and
requests for clarification.
BE SUPPORTIVE. We are all still learning. Our job is not to judge or condemn
or even praise, although genuine encouragement is a necessary ingredient. We are here to
provide information, to address topics in a discussion forum, and to provide assistance in
helping each participant use her/his own unique learning style. Reflection generally
precedes growth. So reflect upon what is said, provide sincere comments, and hopefully,
we will all grow.
One good way to avoid problems is to reread your postings before sending them.
Something written in haste may be misread.
This section on Netequette and Privacy was created by Val Donato, Sandra Looper, Diane
Hostetler and Tom Braziunas
Suggestion for email, discussions, and posting: Make it a habit to compose messages
(especially long ones) in WORD or another word processing program. Then cut and
paste the message into your posting in the Discussion Room. In this way, you won't
accidentally lose messages because of a connection failure or timing out or hitting the
delete key! To copy your message, you can select the text and use CONTROL-C; to past
it, you can use CONTROL-V. (By Tom Braziunas)
11
Class Presentations
In this folder you will find other folders for each chapter to be covered. After opening a
folder (e.g. “01_Perspectives) you will find four files. You are only concerned with the
one having an internet browser icon (e.g. Explorer or Firefox) and having an “html”
ending. The other files are necessary to make the presentation work. To view the
presentation, click on the file. After the introductory slide appears, click on the right
pointing triangle in the center. This will start the presentation. Be certain the volume is
on (mute turned off) and the volume is turned up to a comfortable level. You may then
simply sit back and listen to the presentation as if you were attending the class which
created these presentations. However, you have the advantage of being able to pause or
rewind and review the presentation using the controls at the bottom of the screen.
These recordings have been made “live” in class.
When listening to the recordings and watching the slides, it is good to have the study
guide and text in front of you to use as a guide to what will be on the exam. If you wish
to print out the slides, they are available in a file entitled “Power Point Slides”.
These recordings, and the related Power Point slides, have been included for the
following reasons:
1. It gives you a feeling of being in class, complete with stories, examples, and
comments.
2. You get to know your instructor on a more personal level
3. You get to hear explanations of topics that may be difficult to comprehend
otherwise.
Asking questions of your instructor:
Before emailing or calling me with a question, you need to read that section of
text, or syllabus. The first thing I will ask is, “What did the text or Syllabus say (on what
page) and what is it you do not understand. Quoting the section of the text or syllabus
you do not understand will help me provide you with a more helpful answer.
If you cannot give me a reference page in the text or syllabus that generated your
question, I will ask you to find and read the related pages. Most questions can be
resolved by doing this. If not, feel free to contact me with your question.
12
CLASS POLICIES
Extra credit: Ten points extra-credit work is available with contributions to the class wiki.
Incompletes: No “Incomplete” (I) grades will be given.
Withdrawals: You must withdraw, or request an "NC" grade by the “last day to
withdraw” indicated on the course calendar. If you have not, you will receive a decimal
grade for this course.
Cheating: Any cheating on exams will result in a score of zero (“0”) for that exam (which
can not be retaken).
Posting Final Grades: Final grades will not be posted. You may check your grades via
the internet at: NSCC home page > Online Services > Look Up Your Grades.
Exams: You may use the text or any other materials you wish when taking an exam.
However, the exams have a time limit, and looking up information takes time.
Guidelines for Student Conduct: Students are expected to comply with student conduct
policy and procedures. Information on student responsibilities and rights is available at
the following website: www.seattlecolleges.com/services
Americans with Disabilities Act: If you need course adaptations or accommodation
because of a disability; you must contact Disability Services at phone 527-3697, or TTY:
526-0079 or on the web at http://access.northseattle.edu/services/ds.htm
Academic Honesty: Academic honesty is highly valued at NSCC. A student must
always submit work that represents his/her original words or ideas. If any words or ideas
are used that do not represent the student’s original words or ideas, the student is
expected to cite all relevant sources both in the text and in the references listing at the end
of the paper. The student should also make clear the extent to which such sources were
used. Words or ideas that require citations include, but are not limited to, all hardcopy or
electronic publications, whether copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual
communication when the content of such communication clearly originates from an
identifiable source.
Academic dishonesty could involve:
1. Having another person complete an exam, or a portion of your
assignment.
2. Having a reviewer make extensive revisions to an assignment.
3. Copying work submitted by another student.
4. Using information from online information services without proper
citation.
5. Taking exam answers from another student’s paper.
6. Using materials not allowed to answer exam questions.
Classroom Diversity Statement: Respect for diversity is a core value of NSCC. Our
13
college community fosters an optimal learning climate and an environment of mutual
respect. We, the college community, recognize individual differences. Therefore, we are
responsible for the content and tone of our statements and are empathetic speakers and
listeners.
Respectful and Inclusive Environment: The instructor and student share the
responsibility to foster a learning environment that is welcoming, supportive, and
respectful of cultural and individual differences. Open and respectful communication that
allows for the expression of varied opinions and multicultural perspectives encourages us
to learn freely from each other.

15
The grading scale is the same for everyone:
After all grades are in, students come to my office wanting me to make a new, easier,
grading scale just for them that does not apply to the rest of you.
These requests sound like this: “I only need one more point to get the next higher grade
… please.” “I am failing the class, so don’t give me the grade I earned, give me an NC
(or an Incomplete) instead.” “If you give me the grade I earned, I can not get into the
university.” “I need a 2.0, or I will be deported.” “I will lose my financial aid.” “I forgot
to take the test when it was scheduled with everyone else, so can I take it now (several
days later)?” “I tried (or I learned a lot) so you should give me a higher grade.” “I had
personal problems during the quarter, so you should increase my grade (or any deadlines
should not apply to me).” “I did not remember it was due then, so can I turn it in now?” I
can not grade based on any of these factors. You need to do the best you possibly can
from the first day of class, and feel confident the grade you receive at the end was the best
you are capable of.
If you need help with anything, please see me. I want you to do very well in class and
have established many items to help you do so. These include: (1) the “How To Study”
sheet in this syllabus, (2) the online recordings, (3) the online power point slides, (4) the
text (5) the class questions, examples and discussions, (6) the Study Guides which come
from the tests, (7) the review for the tests, plus (8) my office hours if you need additional
help understanding the material. With all this support, please remember, the grading
scale is the same for everyone.

HOW TO STUDY
1. Read the chapter ahead of the lecture

C. Scan the chapter and highlight the key exam concepts and terms.
These will be in bold print and italics
D. Underline definitions of terms in the text
E. Read the chapter
I. Ask yourself questions about each major heading
Turn headings into questions
II. Read just for the answer to the question
2. Come to “class” each day.

B. Listen to the class presentation.
C. Take good notes
D. Complete the study guide.
You do not need to hand them in.
E. Compare the notes to the book to see what topics were discussed

Remember:
Anything in class or the book may be on the exam. However, this approach will help you
focus your study time on the material that is most apt to be on the exam.
18
Suggested discussion questions
(Found within Course Resources > Useful Links)
Past classes have suggested I post some questions to spark a discussion. Therefore, I will
post some questions to discuss and consider. You are welcome to discuss some, all, or
none of my questions. My preference is that you come up with your own questions to
discuss based on your own interests related to particular topics being discussed in the
class. As in class, there is no additional credit for comments and discussion, however, it
makes the class more interesting.
Here are some items I would like to mention regarding my input.
1. The discussions are primarily for student interaction on topics of concern to you related
to the class. Therefore, I consider my input as secondary back-up topics to consider either
if it is something you have not thought about before that is interesting to you, or if you
cannot think of a topic to discuss.
2. My questions will not be “academic” questions with a correct answer to look up.
Instead, they will be more critical thinking questions.
3. My experience has been that when I answer or comment on my own questions, it tends
to be seen as the “correct” answer, and reduces further discussion. Therefore, I will not
necessarily answer or comment on what I put up for discussion. These are designed to
create student discussion and interaction. However, I do read every posting.
General rules for posting:
1. You are free to discuss any topic you wish related to the class as long as it is respectful
to all members of the class, and makes a positive contribution to the class.
2. You are free to include as much (or as little) personal information as you wish.
3. Any items discussed outside of class should never be attached to an individual person’s
name.
4. In general, it is best to post questions or comments related to the current topics being
presented that week.
Have fun!!

How to print power Point slides:
If you want to print out the slides, and do not have PowerPoint on your computer :
Most computers with Microsoft Office software will be able to view Power Points and
play WMA recordings. If you do not, here are some places that will help.
Here are links for the PowerPoint viewer. I believe these are free downloads.

Another cross platform product that can play PowerPoint slides:
I also understand the free download called Open Office has a section called Impress that
will play PowerPoint presentations. It also can be used on a PC. or a Mac. This can be
found at: http://www.openoffice.org/
How to listen to the WMA ( exam review) recordings
If you want to listen to the exam review recordings and do not have a WMA player on
your computer, (most all computers do) the following items are helpful.
To listen to the audio recordings, you need to download a copy of Windows Media
Player.
For a PC, go to:
