The assignments are designed to, as much as possible, emulate tasks required of professional sociologists. The assignments ask you to interpret social problems from the sociological perspective and suggest policies for mitigating the negative consequences of social problems. It is anticipated that, through these assignments, you will gain experience in understanding social problems from a broad perspective. }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Sapp, Stephen}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
