Do Not Take Practice Tests Before Studying The Text

"This set of practice tests is included to help you judge whether you are ready for the formal classroom exam. The questions are not intended to cover all the key ideas from the chapter; rather, they have been randomly chosen from a larger bank of questions to spot-check your overall mastery of the text material. Two types of tests are included: a ten-item multiple choice quiz and a set of ten fill-in questions. The first set tests your knowledge and application of a wide variety of concepts, while the fill-in questions test how well you have memorized the basic concepts summarized in the glossary. Answers to the tests and a short explanation of the main concept in the multiple choice questions are found at the end of the test booklet. DO NOT TAKE PRACTICE TESTS BEFORE STUDYING THE TEXT. If you try to only learn the concepts covered in a short practice test you will miss most of the ideas from the chapter that might appear in a longer, formal classroom examination. Instead, use the tests to check your study, not to direct it......" [from the booklet of a note to the student]

Excellent Service

The book arrived before any of the other books i bought and was just like the seller explained.

Very clear,and informative on a broad array of topics.

We use this book in my sociology 101 class at USC. It is very easy to understand. Covering a little on all of the major themes in sociology, this book is very ideal if your professor makes sociology seem difficult through his/her lectures.
