Society and the Individual This course examines the ideas and enduring contributions of the giants of modern social theory, including Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Sigmund Freud. Readings will include selections from original works, as well as contemporary essays. Key issues will include the nature of modernity, the direction of social change, and the role of human agency in constructing the "good society." This course serves as a general introduction to sociology.
Professor Han is a very interesting professor, and definitely will keep you engaged. My class was three hours on a Wednesday night and he does a variety of activities to keep the class engaged. I took the class at the intention of possibly minoring and sociology, but I didn’t know what it was truly all about I love the professor, but I don’t think sociology as a topic is for me. Great man though and different way of thinking about things!

LOVED PROF BHAVE. she is super accommodating and understanding. her lectures are interesting and funny, which is rare as the class could easily be theory heavy and boring. the three essays are reasonable and she grades fairly.
Great course and would recommend to everyone. There is a lot of very dense reading but most of the concepts are covered in thorough detail in class- take from that what you will. Lots of writing assignments, but the topics were interesting. Han is extremely funny and his lectures are very engaging.
Linus is so interesting and engaging! Not a normal sociology class you would expect as his lectures are quite all over the place, but Linus can always connects reading materials to real-life scenarios in unexpected ways and unique perspectives. Linus cares a lot about students' opinions and can always elaborate so much based on whatever you say in class. This class makes me decide to major in sociology :)
