Course Description and Objective: This course provides an introduction to religion as a sociological phenomenon, including the social conditions under which organized and folk religion arise. The role of religious beliefs and practices in social life is also examined, as well as the interrelationship of religion with other primary identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and sexuality. In addition, civil religion, secularization and the impact of religion on other social institutions will be studied.
Course Evaluation Method: Students must take three tests to receive a passing grade in this course. The tests are each worth a maximum of 100 points. At the end of the semester the three grades will be averaged to determine your final grade, as shown in the chart below. Each test is in essay form and requires that you answer each question in as much detail as possible. Because the form of the essay test is such that everyone should roughly know the answers, the correctness of your responses alone is not enough for an excellent grade. Grades in this class are derived by looking at both the correctness and strength of your test answers. Also, for each test question you are expected to integrate your readings with the lecture notes and other materials. Thus, it is very important that you read and keep up with the class.

Standards and Conduct Expected of Students:
Because classes start and end on time, you are also expected to arrive to class on time. Late arrivals disrupt the class. It is your responsibility to be on time. Students who arrive late may be denied the right to join the class meeting. If that happens, it is your responsibility to get the notes from one of your classmates.
If you attend class, you should remain until class is dismissed. Leaving class early distracts others and will not be tolerated without prior approval.
In order to enhance and maintain a productive atmosphere for education, personal communication devices such as cell phones should be disabled prior to entering the classroom.
The clicking sound made by typing on laptops can be distracting to others. Thus, if you use a laptop, please sit in the back row to minimize this distraction. Also, any student who uses a laptop for anything other than taking class notes will be prohibited from bringing the laptop to class in the future.
In this class you are responsible for all the class readings and lecture materials. I will not go over the readings in class unless they are directly related to the topic covered and/or there are questions about them. It is my responsibility to supply students with additional material not found in your textbooks.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), students who require special accommodations due to a disability to properly execute coursework must register with the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) at one of the following locations, and follow all OSD procedures:
Boca Raton - SU 133 (561-297-3880),
Davie - MOD I (954-236-1222),
Jupiter - SR 117 (561-799-8585), or
Treasure Coast - CO 128 (772-873-3305).
Code of Academic Integrity: Students at Դɼ are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty, including cheating and plagiarism, is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the University mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys an unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the University community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty. For more information, see the Code of Academic Integrity in the University Regulations at:
