Welcome Soc. 240 Students, Fall '08

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome all Soc. 240 students to this course blog. As you will note, I first set up this course blog last Fall '07, and you can get an idea of what this blog is for by taking a few minutes to scroll through the entries from last year. Basically, we will be using this blog for a variety of purposes: for extending class discussion or occasionally posting lecture notes if I get behind, for individual and family activities, for occasional extra credit opportunities, to review for exams, among other things. Although I will announce in class when you need to check the blog, it would also be a good idea to get into the habit of checking it regularly, at least once or twice a week. Prof. Ginocchio
