SOCIOLOGY HW5: Book Review Assignment (Black Feminist Thought by Patricia Hill Collins)
$17.50Each student will select a book considered to be one of the ‘great works’ in sociology, in the first week, to read and critique. There is a list from which to choose a book to review and critique, but students can select books outside the list in consultation with the instructor. Students will be required to write a book review and report on the review in a related Discussion Board Assignment.
This critique should be written in the style of reviews in Contemporary Sociology
Review:
A critical book review briefly describes the content of a book and, more importantly, provides an in-depth analysis and evaluation of its ideas and purpose. The descriptive element of a review should give the reader an understanding of the author’s arguments, while the evaluative element should detail your assessment of the book’s ideas.
Your review should include:
- the author’s purpose/thesis in writing the book
- the author’s key arguments and evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses
- brief summary of the methodology used, level of analysis and sample
- comments on how the book relates to other work on the same subject
- comments on how the book makes a significant contribution to the study of sociology; and the sub-field of focus (if relevant)
- information about the author’s reputation or authority in the field
- comments on future research that may be implied by (or build on) the author’s work

Research and Argument Assignment Prompt
“Everything’s an argument.”
Andrea Lunsford, Professor of English at Stanford University
In this assignment, you will begin by choosing a current issue that you are interested in. This issue, ideally, will be a complex one. There will be more than just a “for” or “against” position to be taken, and the issue won’t be so charged and loaded that people’s minds are already made up about it. Your instructors will help you very carefully choose your issue.
Then, you will do se research to learn more about the issue and about various viewpoints and stakeholders. Eventually, you will form a unique thesis about this issue, and use research to support a series of claims. You will organize and write persuasively to change people’s minds about your issue.
The course textbook, HTWA, has much more detailed information about what an argumentative is, and how to write one.
Your assessment on this paper will be based on the goals of this unit:- Explore a relevant and contentious issue from a variety of perspectives, considering multiple viewpoints and arguments as you develop your own thesis.
- Creatively and critically synthesize research from multiple sources—develop awareness of different personal, academic, and civic contexts and express your unique ideas in relationship to the ideas of others.
- Use academic citation systems for documenting work, and know where to find resources that will help you with this.
- Revise your argument so that it is clear, convincing, well-organized and polished.

SOCIOLOGY 498 – HW4: Annotated Bibliography (ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY –GENDER AND CAREER CHOICE)

Purpose: The purpose of this step is to analyze the relationship(s) between your sources and between your sources and your research question. This will be building on the critical reading done on 1 article completed during the last step.
For each source, briefly summarize what evidence it provides to answer your research question. (this may build on the relevance of the source, but it should not be an exact copy of that cell).
For 15 sources (12 of which should be peer-reviewed articles), analyze that source in comparison to another one of your sources. This could be based on type of methodology used, size of sample, hypothesis, findings, how variables are measured, etc. If you analyze Source 1 in comparison to Source 2, then your Source 2 analysis should be compared to a source other than Source 1. Keep in mind all analysis should relate back to your research question.
Source 1 Source 2 Etc. Source Title APA-formatted citation for source Relevance of source to Research Q 2-3 sentence description of source Main Research Question Hypotheses Methodology (quantitative vs qualitative, etc) Independent variable(s) Dependent variable(s) Key Findings Strengths Weaknesses Critically evaluate the content for accuracy, bias and coverage Analysis of source as it helps to answer your question Analysis of 2+ sources (compare/contrast)
