Les Misérables (2013)The learning objective of this movie report is to enable students to describe and analyze different social science perspectives and its applications. A few steps may help: 1. Select a theorist/theory/social issue whom/which you are interested in. 2. From this theorist/theory/issue, identify a particular concept/theory/issue that you want to explore [details see below].
Questions to think:
Choose ONLY ONE question or you propose ONE reasonable topic/question.
How to Write Movie Report? 1 Identify sociological themes in the movie. Ask yourself in what ways the movie reflects the events and social reality of its time and in what ways it distorts them. Ask if the movie reflects on universal human concerns and problems and, if so, how. Ask how well the movie fits into sociological ideas and research, or if it contradicts them. Decide what it has to say, if anything, on the relationship between the individual, his society, and the flow of history. Jot down some notes. Select observations that are surprising or startling. A sociological movie review that makes unexpected observations will be much more interesting than one that focuses on obvious things. 2 Develop a sociological argument. State what you believe the movie has to say sociologically, using evidence from the movie. Include events from the plot, descriptions of important scenes, and direct quotes from character dialogue to make your point. Don’t summarize the whole movie; rather, focus on the parts of it that are most important to your argument. 3 Write a conclusion, restating your main point and showing how it relates to a broader sociological perspective. You may wish to reflect on the movie’s continued relevance to current events, for example or, if it is no longer relevant to our culture, discuss what has changed. 4 Write an introduction. The introduction should provide a hook to bring the reader in and address the main point of the essay. Start by asking a question, discussing an important event in history, sharing a quote from the movie, or using another technique to get the reader to think about what issue your essay is addressing. Then, narrow down your introduction in a few sentences until you present your thesis: the main point your essay is making. 5 Reread your essay to make sure it has good grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and is well organized. Include a title, your name and the date you completed the review on a title page. If you are writing your review for a class, check it against the class rubric to make sure it fulfills all the requirements. 6 Add a works-cited page. Write down relevant information including title, director, studio and year of production of the version of the movie you watched, and citations for any books or articles you consulted.

SS5401 Social Science Perspectives Course Outline
Course Aims & Objectives:
This course aims to introduce the basic aspects of modern social sciences. While the aim is to survey all the basic social science perspectives, special emphasis will be placed on a range of major social science perspectives related to Applied Sociology. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs):
TLA1: Lecture There will be weekly lectures, with topics prepared and presented by lecturers. The lectures may assign student to read essential and/or supplementary readings concerning the topics.
TLA2: Tutorial In each weekly lecture, approximately one hour will be reserved for tutorial discussion. The purpose of it is to allow students to discuss the concepts related to a particular perspective. TLA3: Student Presentation Students are required to form small groups to conduct a group project.
Assessment Tasks/Activities:
AT1: Individual Movie Report (20%)
Each student submits one movie report of no less than 1,500 words. The learning objective of this movie report is to enable students to describe and analyse different aspects of social sciences and its applications. A few steps may help: 1. Select a theorist/theory/aspects of social sciences whom/which you are interested in. 2. From this theorist/theory/issue, identify a particular concept/theory/issue that you want to explore. More details will be given during lectures. Please upload your latest soft copy of turn-it-in on your Canvas. If you fail to do so, you may risk for downgrading your marks on movie report. AT2: Group Project (45%) 1) A paper of no about 2,500-3,000 words. The topic should be related to the topic of social change and its impacts on individuals and society. In preparing for the presentation and write-up, each group chooses one empirical case of social change as the subject of analysis. Then, one social science perspective is chosen to explain various phenomena related to the case of social change in question. Afterwards, the group should compare and contrast the findings identified with other social science perspectives. Finally, each group should conduct a critical analysis on the case of social change and its impacts on individuals and society. 2) Group presentation and discussion is to enable students to compare and contrast theories and concepts. Students are to form 5/6-person groups among themselves to give a 20-minute presentation in class, and 10 minutes for Q and A. Students should demonstrate sociological thinking in analyzing the social problems/issues under study. For student presentations, student groups can focus on specific issues under the broad topics that are covered in the course (e.g. globalization, beauty myth). Students are also welcoming to propose other topics for presentation. In either case, students must seek consent from the lecturer in advance. Peer group evaluation will be sought during the presentation weeks 12-13. AT3: Quiz (35%) A quiz will be given to students to test their knowledge of the various perspective learned in this course, and their application to understanding social phenomena. It will conducted on week 13, April 21, 2020 (Tuesday).

It pays to read the standards carefully and use Grade A as your guideline and checklist every time you write a paper. It applies to non-sociological papers (if there is such a thing) as well. A grade of “A” indicates that the author demonstrates knowledge of the basic material (including specific isolable bits of information, chronological sequences, and generally accepted generalizations) and relevant concepts and facts and explains important relationships among them. The author also demonstrates the ability to describe, narrate, explain, analyse, synthesize, and evaluate, as called for in all good papers. In addition, the author explores the implications and broader significance of the questions being investigated, and/or evaluates the significance, quality, or validity of alternative ways of understanding the problem. Examples are always given. A grade of “B” indicates that the author demonstrates knowledge of the basic material, and makes some attempt at appropriate analysis, synthesis, or evaluation. A grade of “C” indicates that the author recalls isolable bits of information, general patterns, and/or generalizations. But there is little or no attempt at analysis, synthesis or evaluation, or the organization of the exposition/argument/description/narrative is confused. Implications of ideas are not explored. A grade of “D” indicates that the author has difficulty recalling and communicating necessary information. The paper fails to meet some basic requirements. A grade of “F” indicates that the author has little understanding of the basic material, important concepts and generalizations, makes factual errors, or communicates so poorly as to convey little understanding of the material.
Appendix II: Statement on Plagiarism
Academic integrity is not only necessary for the pursuit of science but also important in building one’s character. Plagiarism, which means taking other people’s work as if it were one’s own, seriously impairs academic integrity. It’s a kind of cheating, and academic cheating is always problematic. It harms the development of science, and it harms one’s character. What is plagiarism, then? You commit plagiarism if you do the following: Take notes to the exam when they are not allowed, implying that you will use other people’s work as your own. Copy answers or text from a classmate or from a published, unpublished, or electronic source and submit it as your own. Ask your neighbour for (or tell your neighbour—in which case you are an accomplice in plagiarism) the right answer(s) to the exam questions. Quote or paraphrase from another paper without crediting the original author. Cite data or ideas without crediting the original source. Propose another author’s idea as if it were your own. Translate other people’s work from Chinese and re-write it in English, or vice-versa, as if it were your own work. Fabricate references or use incorrect references. Submit someone else’s presentation, program, spreadsheet, or other file with only minor alterations. Submit a paper to be graded or reviewed that you have not written on your own.
In other words, any action which misleadingly implies someone else’s work is your own can constitute plagiarism. This is not a definitive list. If you have doubt, ask your professor. And ask your professor for ways to cite other people’s words or ideas. Anybody who has been caught committing plagiarism will be penalized, and the punishment ranges from failing a paper or a course to the expulsion from the university. While writing up the statement above, I consulted plagiarism policies of the American Sociological Association, the Pennsylvania State University, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
