Since the early days of sociology, one of the classical interests of the discipline is in how and why social processes of change happen in different societies. Sociologists were often interested in the unique role that organised members of society have in promoting such changes. The course will begin with an introduction to several theoretical frameworks that aim to explain social change. The course will continue by critically analysing central actors of social change, such as corporations and civil society, and critically discussing central forms of organizing for social change, such as social movements, trade unions, NGOs, volunteer groups and cooperatives. Students will be encouraged to implement the course materials to case studies of their own interest.

Semester 1 (6,00sp)
| Evaluation method | |
|
| Written evaluation during teaching period | 50 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Yes, with condition |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Second examination will not be possible for the peer-feedback (5% of the
final grade). The grade
for this element will thus be transferred from the first examination
period to the second examination period. There is no option to re-take
this
assignment.
Students who do not pass the final paper assignment (45% of the final
grade)
can submit a revised version in the second examination period. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oral evaluation during teaching period | 25 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Yes, no resit exam |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | A student is required to achieve at least 10/20 for each part of the evaluation. We define parts of the evaluation as 1) the whole of evaluations during the teaching period and 2) the whole of evaluation(s) during the exam period. Any results on attendance or participation count towards the evaluation during the teaching period. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | A student who receives a grade below 10/20 for either or both parts of the evaluation, will receive the mathematical mean, with a maximum of 9/20, for the course. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | The case-oriented teaching concept of the Bachelor of Social Sciences programme requires students to have a high level of responsibility, self-direction and interaction. During the case sessions, they will work actively (in groups) on cases or assignments. Also, a proportion of teaching is to be carried out in team/group work, which requires presence and interaction during contact hours or meetings. Attendance during the case sessions and participation (in group work) is therefore highly recommended, and in some cases even mandatory. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | Second examination will only be possible for the paper assignment and
the oral exam.
There is no second examination option for the oral presentation (25% of
the final grade) and for the peer feed-feedback (5% of the final grade),
both during the education period. |
