The students will begin with some background reading in social networks(聯網), social capital (社會資本), volunteer theory (志願者理論), and other concepts that provide a foundation for sociological study of small groups and networking. After a theoretical and historical introduction, the course will be project-based (專題研習) in order to develop an understanding of the social processes in community involvement (社區參與). Students will complete two small-group projects (midterm and final) based on their research of community organizations (社區組織) such as non-profit organizations (非營利組織) or non-governmental organizations(非政府組織) and student/community clubs. In addition to studying community networks and using social media(社交媒體), students will also develop their English discussion and presentation skills by preparing media presentations to present to classmates as well as questions for discussion.
