Sociology 316CW - Internet Usage at Mt. Holyoke

This course takes students through the design, fielding, and reporting of a real social science project. Topically, we will focus on the many ways students use the Internet at Mount Holyoke and how this affects academic, social, and communal outcomes. There will be theoretical and empirical secondary readings, but these will be focused on advancing the hands on project. The majority of the class work will be creating and fielding the social survey, the results of which will ultimately be turned into an academic paper and a professionally-focused analytic report.

Prereq: Sociology 225.
