LCOM 172
Description:
This course is an integration of the content of both ENGL 121 Composition I (3 credit hours) and SOC 122 Introduction to Sociology (3 credit hours). This course offers students an opportunity to explore sociology while at the same time allowing them to apply what they learn to their own interactions with others via writing. This Learning Community introduces sociology's most important concepts, themes and methodologies by focusing on select short stories that illustrate all three. Fiction brings sociology to life. Plots concern human interactions and reactions: to and among families, loved ones, neighbors, political leaders, communities, and authorities. Writing itself is likewise grounded in sociology. After all, the primary purpose of writing is to communicate with others. By writing, you will be practicing the art of communication in the broader academic community.
