HS 307 Sociology

Course Instructor: Anush Kapadia

Course Name: HS 307 Sociology

Course Type : Core

Prerequisite : None

Course Content: 

His approach was thinker-based rather than topic-based. He picks up certain texts of famous thinkers and presents their ideologies. He had planned to cover one thinker per week, and ultimately covered about 10-12 thinkers.

Course Structure:

1. He teaches through slides. His lectures are usually easy to follow and it is extremely useful to attend all his lectures as most of his questions are based on what he said in class. 
2. There are two quizzes apart from midsem and endsem. All the exams were multiple choice.

Online Study Material:

The professor uploaded links to BBC radio programmes of certain thinkers on moodle, which some people found useful. Apart from that, searching online for explanations of concepts or summaries of texts is useful.

Pro Tips:

It is difficult to read the actual texts for people who are not used to reading such material. Hence it is highly recommended that you attend all the lectures, as it is difficult to follow the slides if you haven't attended the class.
