Connect also comes with LearnSmart , an adaptive questioning tool proven to increase content comprehension and student results, as well as fun interactivities like In their Shoes and Applying the Perspectives that teach sociology’s three theoretical frameworks. Finally, make sure students come prepared to class by assigning our many e-book activities . With McGraw-Hill’s digital tools, focus on what you do best—teaching. Unique to this program, Sociology in Modules 2e has the most flexible content on the market.

The content was decent enough, if you can get past the plethora of grammatical errors. I don't think highly of McGraw-Hill after this semester.

Good introduction to the subject. Nothing earth shattering, and you can definitely tell that the intended audience (17-22 y/o college kids) may not have a ton of life experience given some of the generalities used to explain large, complex issues such as economics and why 'brain drain' may affect a country.

Definitely a good introduction to conflict theory, and I'll go ahead and say the book seems almost sympathetic to that form of sociological thought above all others.

Great job explaining social issues and the different aspects of how to deal with them.
