Sociology Class Spring 2023

How do we distinguish good reasoning from bad ones? Sound and cogent arguments from fallacious ones? How can we construct logically compelling arguments and avoid erroneous ones? This is the domain of logic, the study of reasoning and arguments. Logical thinking is indispensable in virtually all academic disciplines and professions, such as math and sciences, law and politics, computer science and information technology, medicine, engineering, education, business, etc. This course cultivates thinking skills useful for any area that values careful analysis to assess truth, value, practicality, and efficiency. You will become familiar with the basic logical concepts, formal and informal, and common logical fallacies. As you become adept at these concepts, they will engage in logically consistent and coherent reasoning, as reflected by clear and rational arguments that they construct.

This class is an Introduction to research techniques with continued emphasis on academic writing techniques developed in ENG 106. (Prerequisite: ENG 106)

ENG 107 is designed to sharpen your skill in organization and awareness of audience, style of writing, and levels of usage for college and post college writing. In a larger sense, this means that the course will help you to write for the particular discourse community comprised of university professors and university educated people in their work settings, and will help you to understand how communication in writing works in the larger public sphere beyond campus. The type of academic writing that earns respect from university audiences is called “academic discourse,” a somewhat formal, grammatically sophisticated style of language that demonstrates in an organized manner your command of specialized information. Just about no one uses that style talking around the house, so it takes practice to understand and write effectively in that style—and to communicate your own thoughts and perspective in that style.

While academic discourse has a range of usage that differs a bit from discipline to discipline, this course will give you the practice to make rhetorical decisions and adjustments that will help you reach all kinds of academic audiences. That practice will help you make similar adjustments to communicate more effectively in writing for the world beyond campus. Effective writing is a way toward understanding, respect, and power. Your achievement of greater understanding, respect, and power is the primary purpose of this course. Since the course is interdisciplinary, you will learn how to document research in APA or MLA format.

Welcome to MML603!  Many factors contribute to (or compromise) an organization’s effectiveness, but few are as impactful as the behaviors exhibited by the people who work in that organization.  Organizational behavior (OB) is a field of study that looks at the impact individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations with the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness.  A combination of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines, OB examines topics that should be familiar to anyone who has ever worked in an organization.  These include:

·       Motivation

·       Power and authority

·       Change

·       Conflict

·       Leadership

While a comprehensive examination of OB would require many years of study, this course serves as a helpful overview for experienced adults looking to better understand today’s workplace and the human behavior that routinely occurs within it.
