The first semester long project for this course is the project creating a power point presentation on the history of sociology. In this presentation, you will want to address the origins of sociology, the important early theorists and the theories contributed by them, and how sociology as a field of inquiry has evolved and progressed. You are free to add any elements to the power point that you want; video files, web links, audio files, etc.

Power Point Project Components

There are three parts to the Power Point Project; the outline, the annotated bibliography and the power point final submission. Each component has a corresponding assignment which is located both in the Assignments and Assessments folders in the Class Session folders for the weeks that the three components are due; Class Session 2, 6 and 12. The instructor will provide feedback and guidance after each of the first two submissions. All three components must be submitted in a timely fashion to receive a grade for the various power point project assignments.

Annotated Bibliography:

You will also need to create an annotated bibliography of the sources used for your presentation.
Each annotated bibliography should contain at least 5 sources in addition to the textbook, and they should be reputable sources; peer reviewed journals or books, education websites, etc.
You should not use Wikis as sources, unless they originate from a college or university.
In the annotations for each source, you will want to explain why each source is included in the power point, and what information you are including from each source.
The annotated bibliography will be submitted through the Power Point Project Annotated Bibliography Assignment in Class Session 6, and the instructor will provide feedback and guidance for the final stage of the group project.
This assignment is pass/fail; if an annotated bibliography is submitted, the full 15 points will be awarded.
