Soc Day 1 - Welcome!

"It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity."  W.E.B. DuBois

Objective:  Establish class rules and expectations and build class rapport.  Investigate the manner in which society impacts the individual.

Task:  Welcome to sociology class!  Today we'll begin with the usual first day of class activities including attendance, seating assignments, and a review of class rules and expectations. We'll also spend some time with an introduction to some of the class resources such as the textbook, Schoology, & Notability.  Then, we'll jump right into the course with your Pioneers of Sociology project assignment.
