Presenter:

Sarah L. Hoiland, Assistant Professor, Behavioral & Social Sciences, Hostos CC

Abstract:

This presentation will be on a work-in-progress Facebook page that is being piloted this spring in an Introduction to Sociology course. The page was created in response to several issues that arose early in the semester. Student participation on the page, both quantity and quality, as well as lessons learned will be discussed.
