Students' Case Studies of Social Movements: Experiences with an Undergraduate Seminar.
Lofland, John
Teaching Sociology, v24 n4 p389-94 Oct 1996
Describes an undergraduate seminar where each student's central task was to select a specific social movement/social change organization, collect data on it, and write a 20-page sociological analysis. The results were disappointing, with most students presenting a historical chronology accompanied by a compilation of facts. Discusses possible revisions. (MJP)
