Synopsis

Excerpt from A Group-Discussion Syllabus of Sociology: Topics, Questions and References for an Introductory College Course

No text-book was used; instead, references to diverse points of view, and conflicting evidence were assigned for each topic, and discussion in the class was directed to sifting from the views and evidence in. Question that which was common to them all, pertinent to the aims of the class, and in accord with the fundamental principles of the course as conceived by the instructor. This meant constant thinking, comparison and selection on the part of each student, with reference to definite aims, so that the progress of the class in its knowledge and control of the subject, was 'psychological,' not 'bookish.' Lectures and so-called recitations were constantly subordinated to the group discussion in which every student was a sharer.
