TY - JOUR AU - Kawaguchi, Riku PY - 2019/02/25 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Give Methods a Chance Paper JF - TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology JA - TRAILS VL - IS - SE - DO - UR - https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/give-methods-a-chance-paper SP - AB - This paper assignment encourages students to learn more about social research methods and their applications to real research. This assignment also provides opportunities for students to think about how they can apply social research methods to study a topic of their own interest. In this assignment, students are asked to listen to a podcast about research from Give Methods a Chance (https://thesocietypages.org/methods/). Students will then write a paper that summarizes the methods and how the methods were used to study social phenomena. Students are also asked to apply the reviewed methods to their own interest. I have used this assignment in my Social Deviance and Social Research Methods course, but it can easily be adapted for other sociology courses. ER -
