Student Code of Conduct found at http://www.slcc.edu/policies/docs/stdtcode.pdf General Education Statement This course fulfills the requirement for the General Education Program at Salt Lake Community College.
It is designed not only to teach the information and skills required by the discipline, but also to develop vital workplace
skills and to teach strategies and skills that can be used for life-long learning. General Education courses teach basic skills
as well as broaden a student’s knowledge of a wide range of subjects. Education is much more than the acquisition of
facts; it is being able to use information in meaningful ways in order to enrich one’s life. While the subject of each course is important and useful, we become truly educated through making connections
of such varied information with the different methods of organizing human experience that are practiced by different disciplines.
Therefore, this course, when combined with other General Education courses, will enable you to develop broader perspectives
and deeper understandings of your community and the world, as well as challenge previously held assumptions about the world
and its inhabitants. General Education ePortfolio NEW FOR THIS
CLASS, the signature assignment for your ePortfolio is as follows: At least 2 weeks before the end of the semester, load the following into your ePortfolio and give the URL to your
instructor so he may check it: 1 - Take a picture of people holding some
sort of event. Add a caption to the picture stating what the picture represents using a sociological construct (such as Conflict,
Functionalism, or Symbolic Interactionalism). 2-
Next write a reflection (at least 200 words) of what you have learned in sociology that has a practical meaning for you. Remember: you may want a future employer or university to
see this work, so do an excellent job – you will use it to show how competent you have become in sociology. ADA Statement
