I teach SYG 2000, i.e. Introductory Sociology here at Valencia College. Believe it or not, I, like many others, had no idea what sociology was before I took my first intro course. Since then, I've never looked back!

In my class, you will be exposed to the core principles of sociology and gain the knowledge required to relate these concepts to everyday social phenomena. In other words, you will gain the skills needed to begin to think about and study society through a "sociological lens."

Students should come to class ready to engage in class discussion. The class environment will be relaxed and conducive for interesting discussion and debate. I also expect students to keep up with all assignments and readings.
