This document outlines the requirements for the first topic response assignment (Module One) in Arizona State University’s Social Change (SOC 352) course. It is designed for students enrolled in the course and is due October 16, 2020.
This assignment asks students to connect personal experiences to broader sociological concepts—specifically the sociological imagination, generational differences, social power, and intersectionality—as introduced in the module’s learning materials. Students will respond to three prompts, each requiring a minimum of 150 words and at least one citation from course readings.
The document details the prompts themselves, the grading rubric (distinguished, competent ratings are outlined), and formatting guidelines (Word document or text entry, citation style). It does *not* provide answers to the prompts, examples of strong responses, or further elaboration on the core sociological concepts beyond what is necessary to understand the assignment itself. Students will need to complete the assigned readings and reflect on their own experiences to successfully complete this assignment.
