CONNECTING SOCIOLOGY 2E W/MINDTAP 2nd Edition by Jayne Baker/Nathan Innocente

Overview

Connecting Sociology, 2nd edition invites Canadian students to explore how sociological theory relates to their everyday lives. Developed for introductory Sociology courses in Canada, this title reflects Canadian research and examples while addressing two common challenges: supporting students in understanding and applying theoretical perspectives, and giving instructors effective ways to assess learning. The book weaves theory throughout contemporary topics and features elements such as Public Sociology Spotlight, which profile sociologists and feature their public engagement, policy work, and applied sociology.

With MindTap, instructors gain a flexible platform that supports active learning and strengthens students’ sociological imagination. Interactive tools, including scenarios, video activities, and white board animations , encourage students to engage with material more deeply and move from simple recall to meaningful application. This integrated approach creates a richer learning experience for students and provides instructors with clearer insights into student comprehension.
