ABOUT THIS WEBSITE
I take a logical approach to course navigation and everything is straight-forward and clearly spelled out. I stay connected to the class the whole semester, in real time, and continue to refine and update this companion site with useful information and content of sociological interest, which can be found towards the bottom of this page.
This website will work in tandem with the information provided to you on Canvas. If you are new to Canvas (or to online classes), please visit the El Camino College Distance Education web page for extremely helpful resources including a student handbook.
What you will find on CANVAS:
--> Announcements
--> Modules
--> Discussions
--> Syllabus
--> Instructions for all assignments
--> Exams
--> Chat Room where you can openly post questions and concerns
--> Direct Message system (use to contact professor)
-
What you will find here on this website:
--> Book information for your specific course (also included on syllabus on CANVAS)
--> Lecture slides & study guides
--> Overview of Student Expectations & useful tips
--> Curated content of sociological interest

I am so glad that you have enrolled in one of my sociology classes. I have been an adjunct professor in the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences at El Camino College since Fall 2004. I had a sociological mind long before I knew what sociology even was and have always been an avid people watcher.
I look forward to guiding your exploration of the forces that influence human behavior - both at the societal level and at the individual level. I make sure that the content is relevant and that you will take something away from the class that will benefit your life for years to come. You can find more about on my website. ~ Professor Stone |
STUDENT Expectations
I want you to be successful and I am sure you want the same. I've created this page to provide you with information related to what I expect from you, as well as testimonials from students who have taken the time to share their
"success strategies" in my courses.
Please take the time to review this information.
