Hello all,
I just scored a 66 on the Intro to Sociology CLEP. So, I thought I would pass along a few pointers.
You may want to study these topics in addition to the flashcards:
Know a thing or two about Erving Goffman, Cooley, Compte, Durkheim, Mead, and Marx and Weber. (The only names necessary)
Know the difference between the Halo effect and a glass-ceiling (workplace promotion).
Know "assimilation vs. integration"
Know "amalgamation"
Know "dramaturgy"
Know the textbook definition of a "crowd".
Know "cultural pluralism".
Understand socio-economic classification.
Know the current trends regarding marriage vs. white-collar workers.
Know the players that make up "the power elite" and who wrote it.
Know why women have an increased interest in sports since the 70's.
The flashcards really are on-the-mark and you should score well with flashcards and common sense alone.
Have fun.
