SOC 2013

by Jon Witt

McGraw-Hill conducted extensive market research with students from across the nation to gain insight into their studying and buying behavior. Students told us they wanted more portable texts with innovative visual appeal and content that is designed according to the way they learn. We also surveyed instructors, and they told us they wanted a way to engage their students without compromising on high quality content. SOC, updated annually, offers instructors scholarly content and unmatched currency in a succinct magazine format that engages students. The 2012 Edition comes with an adaptive learning system and interactivities to help students master key concepts. SOC consistently encourages students to foster their sociological imagination to see the world through a different lens.

This book really had everything I needed for Sociology 101 in my freshman college year. Can't really rate on the questions, quizzes, or tests, but for content this is a great text to turn to. Every topic has a real life example that is easy to understand and relate to. I would recommend this to any person interested in sociology as a hobby. Not sure if I could recommend it for a current course as it is most likely out-dated.

My students really enjoyed this book. They reported that it was easy to read and relatable with relevant examples and references. A couple even said they would you reading ahead and covering chapters that weren't assigned.

pretty heteronormative for a book that came out in 2018 lmao. “cohabitation is between a man and woman in a sexual relationship” shut up

Excellent book! Straight to the point with lots of examples and movies for reference. It is styled like a magazine, which is a neat idea but the book takes a lot of wear & tear. I had to use the internet to delve a little deeper on some subjects for school though. Overall, a good read:-)

This serves as a great introduction to sociology. Even if you think you don't like sociology it actually addresses real life problems with interesting perspectives.

Reading it for a class, not for pleasure. :-/
