Discussion of Sociology Final Project Requirements
Listen to the following conversation between a student and a professor discussing the upcoming final project for a sociology class.
Student: Hi Professor, I wanted to ask about the final project. I’m a bit unclear about the expectations.
Professor: Of course! The project requires you to conduct a survey on social behaviors and analyze the results in relation to sociological theories. It should be approximately 10 pages long and include both qualitative and quantitative data.
Student: That sounds interesting! Can we choose our own topics?
Professor: Yes, you’re welcome to select any topic as long as it pertains to social behavior. Just make sure to get it approved by next week.
Student: Great, thank you! I think I’ll focus on the influence of social media on communication.
Professor: That’s an excellent choice. Remember to include a literature review and discuss relevant theories in your analysis.
Now, summarize the main points of the conversation, focusing on the project requirements and the suggested topic selected by the student. You will have 45 seconds to prepare and then speak for 60 seconds.
