Pedagogy:

• While introducing sociology as a social science emphasis should be laid on the distinctiveness of its perspective rather than on its substantive theme of study.
• For effective teaching and meaningful learning, illustrations may be drawn from relevant empirical studies.
• Throughout the course, conscious effort should be made to drive home the relevance and significance of sociology for understanding society and in attempting to solve its problems.

Paper – II (Society in India: Structure and Change) of Avadh University BA Sociology Part 1 Syllabus:

Objectives: It is presumed that student has some familiarity with Indian society by virtue of the fact that he is a member of it and that he has observed and experienced some facts of it. However, this familiarity is likely to be superficial selective and rather fragmentary. The course is aimed at rectifying these limitations by presenting a comprehensive, integrated and empirically –based profile of Indian society. The continuity between the present and the past is an evident feature of Indian society. Though, this continuity is reflected in the structure of the course. The focus is on the contemporary Indian society. It is hoped that the sociological perspective on Indian society presented in this course will also enable students to gain a better understanding of their own situation and region.
