Course description
Sociology A Level Course
The Sociology A Level Course will present you with various sociological theories and ask you to draw on your experiences and background knowledge to test their validity and accuracy. People know and understand 95% of what is happening to them simply by living and learning, wrote the sociologist Professor Halsey. Sociology seeks to provide the other 5% by asking relevant questions and identifying general patterns of social relationships that are not necessarily recognised by those immediately involved.
Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions. There are sixteen Tutor-Marked Assignments (known as TMAs) which include four practice exam assignments.
