Il corso studia le società del presente e del passato. La sociologia ci spinge ad esaminare le realtà prossime, la vita di tutti i giorni: come la gente lavora, viaggia, vive, si muove e come partecipa, quali sono i collegamenti tra questioni pubbliche e problemi personali. La sociologia è un “punto di vista” dal quale osservare i fenomeni sociali, non l’unico, ma utile ed indispensabile per dar conto della complessità della realtà sociale. Le dieci lezioni tratteranno i diversi ambiti e/o aspetti di fenomeni sociali (demografici, normativi, spaziali, culturali, religiosi, educativi, economici, politici), dedicando particolare attenzione al tema delle disuguaglianze che per molti aspetti è un oggetto privilegiato della considerazione sociologica. This aim of this MOOC is to study past and current societies. Through sociology, we get to examine aspects of everyday life such as the way people work, travel, live, commute, take part in the civil society and how they link public and private issues. Sociology is a “point of view” from which to observe the social phenomena. Although it is not the only one, it certainly is useful and essential to comprehend how complex social realities are. This course will deal with the several aspects of the social phenomena (demographic, normative, spatial, cultural, religious, educational, economical and political ones) and focus on inequality, being this topic one the privileged subjects of sociology.
An excellent online course offered by edX: how it works
edX courses consist of weekly learning sequences. Each learning sequence is composed of short videos interspersed with interactive learning exercises, where students can immediately practise the concepts from the videos. The courses often include tutorial videos that are similar to small on-campus discussion groups, an online textbook, and an online discussion forum where students can post and review questions and comments to each other and teaching assistants. Where applicable, online laboratories are incorporated into the course.
edX offers certificates of successful completion and some courses are credit-eligible. Whether or not a college or university offers credit for an online course is within the sole discretion of the school. edX offers a variety of ways to take courses, including verified courses where students have the option to audit the course (no cost) or to work toward an edX Verified Certificate (fees vary by course). edX also offers XSeries Certificates for completion of a bundled set of two to seven verified courses in a single subject (cost varies depending on the courses).
