Module: Becoming a Sociologist
Seminar 10: Task Recap
Test
It is compulsory for single subject students to take the test
Once you start it, you have 1 hour to complete it.
There are 25 questions
You can still pass the module on the portfolio alone.
Overall
Conclusion – summarise what the key points were, how useful did you find it?
Did you find it interesting? Did you find it difficult? You are giving an
assessment of how you found that activity.
Focus groups perhaps more difficult to run online
Best to reference at the end of each task
You don’t need to come up with a completed name for the title
Interview
Provide a background of the person you spoke to – age, gender etc.
It would be more interesting to write it out as a discussion
What were the key things? How did it match up to your own experiences and
thoughts and attitudes?
Mention the broader higher education policies
Look at the resources on Moodle and see if you can integrate it with your work
Reading Media Representation
We looked at the two adverts and looked at the particular characteristics used
The voiceovers of the people – how did they come across?
In what sense were they gendered?
Issues that came up in the advert – the girls one was about doing labour,
about looking after the baby. The boys one was about instructing them what
to do, there were no rules – they were free to do what they wanted to do.
Don’t get confused with the semiotic language
What’s the ideological message that’s coming across?
