7 courses with the subject SS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
SS 114Cultural History2
A study of the history and culture of a society (for example, the Dominican Republic), in order to provide a context for a service al learning experience. Students enrolled in the course will understand the history and culture of the society prior to spending time in the country living and working with its people. Students will read aca- demic articles, fiction and poetry and oral history narratives in prepa- ration for conducting their own interviews. Only those students par- ticipating in the service learning experience are eligible to enroll in this course.
A survey in elementary research and quantitative methods. This course provides students with an entry-level preparation in commu- nication and analytical skills in empirical research for courses taken later in the area of social sciences or in other related discipline/pro- fessional areas. Particular emphasis on the history of scientific meth- ods, skills in literature research and writing, problem formulation, making of a hypothesis, research designs, field and laboratory obser- vations, sampling data organization, processing and analysis, as well as ethical issues. In order to proceed to PS 331, a minimum grade of C is required.
Under the supervision of a faculty member, students prepare and de- fend a significant research paper on a topic of their own choosing in their area of emphasis in the Social Sciences. In this course, students have the opportunity to integrate into a single project much of what they have learned during their undergraduate education and to demonstrate the development they have achieved in analytic, re- search, and language skills. 131
SS 481An Ethnographic Study: A Global Perspective3
This course is in conjunction with the Spring semester Alternative Spring Break (ASB). In preparation for this experience students will examine the American society from a social structural perspec- tive. Particular emphasis is placed on the centrality of class, race and gender as sources of division, inequality and injustice. A demographic analysis of the community will provide the basis for examination as students engage in field observations as they participate in the service learning experience.
A grade of ‘C’ or better is required for all minor courses. No courses in this minor may be used simultaneously in fulfillment of requirements for a major or another minor. However, up to two courses may be used in fulfillment of Dominican Curriculum (DC) requirements. In order to achieve the interdisciplinary focus of this minor, no more than two courses may be taken in the same discipline. At least three courses taken in fulfillment of the minor must be courses with the CJ, HI, PO, and/or SS designation. Please note that CJ courses typically have pre- requisites, which include CJ 113 and SO 111. Students must complete or place out of MA113 College Algebra as a prerequisite for taking MA 225. | 83
