Fall 2020 Enrollment Update

 

Dear Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Students,

We hope you are all keeping well and taking care of yourselves and your families and friends during this unprecedented time. As you move into registering for your Fall classes, you may already be aware that the vast majority of SJSU classes for the Fall 2020 semester have been moved online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing protocols. In the Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences you will find that all classes have been moved online. While the faculty and staff of SISS are disappointed that we won’t be able to hold face-to-face classes in the Fall, we want to do what is best for everyone’s health and follow the direction of the College of Social Sciences in moving classes online. 

Therefore, as you register for Fall classes in SISS, you will see two options: Synchronous and Asynchronous. 

Synchronous classes are those that will have some set meeting times (using Zoom) while Asynchronous classes are those that will be entirely online. You will be able to tell the difference when you search for classes.

Synchronous will look like this:

SOCI 172: Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender Studies

Class	Sections	Days & Times	Room	Instructor	Meeting Dates
45464	01-LEC Regular	TUTH 1:30PM-2:45PM	TBA	Jack Caraves	08/19/2020-12/07/2020

 

Notice set days and times are designated for the class.

 

Asynchronous classes will look like this:

SOCI 178- Sociology of Childhood

 

Class	Sections	Days & Times	Room	Instructor	Meeting Dates
48067	01-LEC Regular	TBA	TBA	Elizabeth Sweet	08/19/2020-12/07/2020

 

Notice no days or times are listed for the class.

Should you have any questions about the classes please reach out to one of our department advisors. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience through this extraordinary time. Be assured that all the faculty and staff are doing what they can to support student success. 

 

Sincerely,

The Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Faculty and Staff
