Course Description
Since we have an excellent a criminology course, I will widely ignore legal aspects, law enforcement, and detention. I will rather try to help students to understand forms, definition and creation of deviance, the deviant mind and subculture.
This seminar will start with the review of important theoretical perspectives in the sociology of deviance. We will learn the classic conflict theoretical, structural, biological and personality explanations and their derivations. Then I will focus on the social construction of deviance and the contemporary symbolic interactionist approach. Here we will cover a wide spectrum ranging from the established labeling approach to very recent theories of deviant behavior. Qualitative and quantitative methodology will be introduced. These theoretical and methodological building blocks will be subject of a multiple-choice exam. The applied part of this course requires several stages of a paper approximately three (depending on enrollment) presentations.
Students have a large list of presentation opportunities. Since we now have the silverware (theories) we are ready for the beef. Vegetarians beware, this beef is bloody. I do not require you to eat it, but you have to have the able to handle it with an open mind. We will cover a wide variety of applications such as: recreational drugs, body modifications, cults, sexuality and violence, stigmatized sexual lifestyles, fascism, and influence of the media on violence. Another controversial subject is the methodological question concerning the degree of of the researcher's involvement with subjects. Some readings are not selected for their scientific qualities, but their superior description of a specific field of deviance. These readings are marked as inside perspective.
Our required reading will focus mainly on two milestone books and selected articles. Having the student budget in mind, I selected only two inexpensive paperbacks as requirements, kept the reader small, and used some readings from the Internet.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes
The knowledge of theoretical and methodological building blocks and their comparison will be subject of a multiple-choice exam. Papers and presentations are used to assess the student's comprehension of the applied part of this course. Here it is important to critically apply theoretical concepts to issues of deviance and to consider methodological appropriateness, strength and weaknesses in this investigation.
There are five main grading criteria for papers and presentations
1. DESCRIBE A well-founded (referenced) and logically sound description of the topic of deviance (which can be a theory, a method or an issue of deviance) at hand.
Make sure to get authoritative sources. We are doing sociology, which is not a postmodern reproduction of cyberculture gagaland. Instead we critically evaluate the quality of our sources. A task (paper or presentation) in a graduate seminar is not a cut and paste affair from Internet resources selected for their convenient access. Sources should be searched and selected for their quality, not for their convenience. A critical selection and evaluation of the sources is a central part of the research for a presentation and/or paper.
Some sources, like the government publication of statistics are readily accessible and they are central for our work. There are also some important contributions of academics to many topics. Most of the relevant work in e-journal articles, however, is not accessible to you unless you subscribe to the publishers. If you go though the TTU library system you can access a limited number of journals electronically. I observed that students tend to skip these sources for their convenience. I will not accept such a new form of cybercultured armchair sociology, “research” that is guided by convenience. Instead I expect you to use and cite authoritative sources that you find in scientific journals and books.
2. USE THEORY AND METHODS The correct identification (references and description) and application of the theoretical and/or methodological approaches.
3. CRITIQUE OF THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPLICATION The critical evaluation and comparison of the theoretical and/or methodological approaches.
4. IDEA The extent to which the idea forwards the disciple. That is a) the uniqueness of the idea developed by the student and b) its logical consistency.
5. CONVINCE Convincing and effective presentation of the argument.
a) In papers the focus is the accessibility of the writing style (grammar, spelling, and language use will only be judged in the context of how it generates a clear argument) and, if applicable, the effective use of charts and figures.
b) In presentations the focus lies on the ability of the presenter to facilitate constructive discussion with the class audience. Free speech (with check notes) is a key, graphs, the use of the board, overheads and/or handouts can be helpful.
What is the difference in grading the paper draft and the final paper? First and foremost, for the final paper the standard of sophistication will be higher. Second, the degree to which the critique is addressed will partially influence the grade.
Requirements
1. Multiple choice exam 25% Oct 24
2. Three Presentations 3*12%= 36%
3. Paper proposal presentation 5% Nov 7
4. Paper Draft 14% Nov 14
5. Paper 20% Dec 5 (our last class session)
Presentations: In the syllabus you have topics marked with PRE. Presentations have to be held within the session it is listed. After our fist session I have to check the size of our class to determine the exact number of possible presentations, and their length. Topics are given in the second class session on a first come first serve basis in the second session. If deemed necessary we might draw numbers to determine the order of choice (my goodness, do I get formalistic here). Once all listed presentations are taken, we will assign the wildcard presentations.
Wildcard Presentations: Sometimes interesting matters or controversial views come up in class that cannot be answered right away. Students who sign up for a wildcard presentation may drop one of their upcoming presentations. Evaluations of these presentations will of course take this time restriction into consideration. Topics might also involve current issues that I cannot foresee at the time I write this syllabus. The number of wildcard presentations available will depend on the number of students. Another form of Wildcard presentation can be the professional engagement in one of the topics listed in the syllabus. In this case, the presenter should contact the instructor before the topics are distributed. Wildcard presentations substitute upcoming presentations (not already graded presentations).
Paper Proposal Presentation: You are relatively free in your choice of paper. However, it should be about one of the topic covered in the course. You might even use the topic that you signed up for presentation. To see if you are ready for the paper and to get your paper topic approved, you have to do a short presentation in class. In this presentation you should address:
Paper Rough Draft should be submitted double spaced, 1 1/2 inch on the left or right side, the remaining margins should be one inch. They should be between 2-4 pages long. This rough draft should present the major idea, the theories you use, and the resources (!!!). What qualifies this assignment as a rough draft is the fact that you might not have one or more sections fully developed. Please indicate these sections and your plans with these sections. A paper draft is downgraded by one - (A will be A-) each Friday, Monday, and Wednesday 3 P.M. after its due date.
Papers should be submitted double spaced, 1 1/2 inch on the left or right side, the remaining margins should be one inch. The format should reflect our major journals (e.g. ASA style). They should be between 6-10 pages long. A paper is downgraded by one - (A will be A-) each Friday, Monday, and Wednesday 3 P.M. after its due date.
Grading Key to convert number grades of your exam or final grades into letter grades: 0-59 F, 60-62 D-, 63-66 D, 67-68 D+, 69-72 C-, 73-76 C, 77-78 C+, 79-82 B-, 83-86 B, 87-88 B+, 89-92 A-, 93-96 A, 97-100 A+
For your paper you receive letter grades. If you are interested, here the key to convert the letter grades into number grades: A+ 100, A 93, A- 90, B+ 88, B 83, B -80, C+ 78, C 73, C- 70, D+ 68, D 63, D-60, F 60.
Disabilities Accommodation Any student who, because of a disability, may be required some special arrangements in order to meet the course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to seek such accommodations as may be needed.
Absence from Exam or Presentation The permission for making up an exam needs an authoritative excuse. Authoritative excuses I accepted in the past were: physician's statements, copies of invitations for job interviews or funerals, and trophies. Concerning an absence due to officially approved trips – in accordance with the Texas Tech University Catalog, the person responsible for a student missing class (e.g. coach) due to a trip should notify the instructors of the departure and return schedule in advance of the trip. The student may not be penalized and is responsible for the material missed. The Texas Tech University Catalog also states that a student who is absent from classes for the observance of a religious holy day will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence. ( prior notification to the instructor is appreciated)
Academic Integrity: Keep in mind that I have to enforce the strict rules of academic behavior. Any student found cheating on the exam or plagiarizing a paper will receive an "F" for the exam or paper and may receive an "F" for the entire course. “It is the aim of the faculty of Texas Tech University to foster a spirit of complete honesty and high standard of integrity. The attempt of students to present as their own any work not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty and administration as a most serious offense and renders the offenders liable to serious consequences, possibly suspension. a. Dishonesty of any kind on examinations and quizzes or on written assignments, illegal possession of examinations, the use of unauthorized notes during an examination or quiz, obtaining information during an examination from the examination paper or otherwise from another student, assisting others to cheat, alteration of grade records, illegal entry or unauthorized presence in an office are instances of cheating. Complete honesty is required of students in the presentation of any and all phases of course work as their own. This applies to quizzes of whatever length as well as to final examinations, daily reports, and term papers. c. Plagiarism is offering the work of another as one's own without proper acknowledgement; therefore, any student who fails to give credit for quotations or essentially identical expressions of material taken from books, encyclopedias, magazines, internet sources, and other reference works, or from the themes, reports, or other writings of a fellow student, is guilty of plagiarism.(TTU OP 34.12)”
