COURSE DESCRIPTION
The family is a fundamental building block of social life, in at least two senses. First, families
provide the context in which individual lives unfold—they set the stage for birth, life, love, and
death. In this sense, families are “private institutions.” Second, families have consequences for
the greater good—they educate children and care for the elderly, but they also generate and
perpetuate social inequalities. In this sense, families are “public institutions” that matter for
society as a whole.
This course will examine families as private and as public institutions from the perspectives of
family sociology and social demography. The course will focus primarily on aggregate patterns and
historical trends within and between groups as defined by class, race, and gender, and less on
individual experiences.
A major goal of this course is to learn about differences in family structure throughout history and
in the contemporary United States. While it may be tempting to assume that there can only be
one “best” or “natural” way to organize family life, research indicates that the family is constantly
changing and adapting. There are, in fact, many families. What may work in one situation may not
work in another: the consequences of family structure and family behaviors often depend on their
context.
Sociology 120 is an introductory course designed for inquisitive students who are new to
sociology. Seniors and other students with a background in social science are welcome, of course,
but may alternatively wish to consider the more advanced family course Soc 640.

FORMAT
Lectures: This course meets in-person. You must complete all required readings before class. Have
your notes ready and be prepared to ask and answer questions. Lectures will assume that you
have completed the readings, draw attention to select issues from the required readings, and also
present new material not covered in your readings. I will post lectures outline on the course
website a few hours before lecture. Please print these outlines to facilitate note taking or load
them on a device of your choice for electronic note taking.
Sections: Sections meet in-person. You must complete all required readings before class. Weekly
discussion sections give you the opportunity to engage with the material more deeply. Section
discussions are an integral part of this course, and section attendance is required. Your TA will
distribute a separate section syllabus with further instructions. Sections are your time to shine.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Understand key facts about the American family in history and present, its diversity, and its
changing nature. Analyze key social-science theories and arguments about the family. Identify

3

central arguments exchanged in recent family debates. Connect course material to the daily news
through written assignments.

REQUIREMENTS
There are five requirements for passing Soc 120: (1) Doing the readings, (2) section attendance
and participation, (3) online reading quizzes, (4) two news reflections, and (5) two midterm
exams.
1. Readings:  The majority of your readings are drawn from the textbook:
Required: Cherlin, Andrew J. 2024. Public and Private Families: An Introduction (10th
edition). Boston: McGraw-Hill.
The textbook and all additional required and recommended readings are available on Canvas, or
you could order a paper copy.
To access the entirety of Cherlin’s textbooks as an eBook, go to the course website on Canvas,
click “McGraw-Hill Connect,” then click “Connect Library,” where you will see the textbook, which
you can annotate.
You’ll also be able to access the textbook as a SmartBook via the reading quizzes (filed under
“Assignments” on Canvas).  However, please note that the eBook (under Connect Library) and the
SmartBook (that comes with the assignments) are not interlinked, so your highlights in one will
not transfer to the other. You’re free to choose whichever way of accessing Cherlin’s textbook
works best for you.
The best browser for accessing the online content is Google Chrome.
I have intentionally kept the required reading load for this course at a very moderate level (under
30 pages in most weeks). In return, you will engage the material in depth. You may find it helpful
to team up with a group of classmates to discuss the readings (your TAs will help you find study
partners in section).  We encourage you to contribute the fruits of your out-of-class discussions in
lecture and in section. You will enjoy this class more and get a better grade.
The last page of this syllabus contains a bibliography of additional optional readings.  These are
great books that will allow you to dig deeper. Please take a look.

2. Reading Quizzes: Starting Tuesday, September 10, before most lectures, you will complete an
online reading quiz on the required readings. Access these quizzes under “Assignments” on
Canvas—not through McGraw-Hill Connect. The quizzes will become active a few days before the
due date, so you can take them at your leisure.  You can take each quiz as often as you wish
before its deadline, until you are satisfied with your score—you can always go back to the quiz and
improve your score Your quiz scores will account for a total 10% of your final grade—that’s a lot!

4

For your convenience, the online quizzes for your textbook readings link to the relevant passages
in the textbook. Additionally, the quizzes may contain questions about the required readings that
are not part of your textbook, which are not linked from within the quiz.
We count your 16 best (out of 18) quiz scores. There are no extensions.

3. Sections: Sections begin the week of Monday, September 16. Section is an important
component of this course, accounting for 16% of your final grade (11% participation, 5%
attendance.
Thoughtful section participation is key. You will be graded on the quality, and not just the
frequency, of your section participation. Please prepare for section. Complete all readings before
section and contribute your questions, reflections, and observations. Engage your classmates
creatively and constructively to advance the discussion.
Section attendance is required. You may miss up to two section meetings without penalty, no
questions asked. It is your responsibility to make up all missed work and to borrow notes from a
classmate. Your attendance grade will drop to 2% with your third absence, and to 0% with your
fourth absence. Please note that 5% for attendance is a big deal: 5% can amount to a half letter
grade change in your final grade. If you have a medical or other emergency that prevents you
from attending several section meetings, please email both Professor Elwert and your TA to notify
us.

4. News Reflection: You will compose two short assignments on current news related to select
topics in Soc 120, accounting for a total of 14% of your final grade (7% each). The purpose of the
assignment is to connect what you have learned in class to what’s going on in the world around
you. For each reflection, you will find two news articles on a given topic from approved sources
that have appeared on or after September 1, 2024. You will first summarize each article in up to
two sentences and then write an insightful 300-word mini-essay relating your articles to the
material you learned in class. Reports are due electronically (on Canvas in the Assignments tab) at
9:15AM on the due dates noted in the syllabus. Late assignments will receive a grade of zero
without exception. Plan to submit your assignment well head of the deadline. Please see the
instructions posted on the course website for details.

5. Exams: You will take two midterm exams, accounting for 60% of your final grade. All material
presented in lecture and in your required readings is fair game. The exams will consist of multiple-
choice questions that emphasize concepts, facts, and mechanisms discussed in class and in your
readings. Additionally, each exam will include several fill-in-the-blank questions and two mini
essays. The exams are non-cumulative. Since I appreciate that everybody may have a bad day

5

once in a while, we will give greater weight to your better midterm score: your higher score will
count more (35%) and your lower score will count less (25%).
No “final” exam: Your online schedule may list a “final exam” time during exam period. Pay no
attention to it. There is no “final exam” in Soc 120 during exam period.
If you must miss an exam: Unfortunately, a class of this size cannot accommodate make-up
exams. If students are compelled to miss the first exam because of serious illness, a serious family
emergency, or a required university-sponsored activity, their second exam will simply count more.
In other words, there is no penalty for missing the first exam. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend
that you take it. Experience shows that it is a bad idea to skip the first midterm hoping for a better
grade on the second—too much will ride on the second exam. Besides, success requires practice.
Students compelled to miss the second exam must demonstrate compelling cause prior to the
exam or receive a score of zero on the missed second midterm.
If the course is forced online for some reason (e.g., Covid), we will administer proctored exams
online, through the course website. Details to be announced if it comes to this.

Grading Summary:
Exams:
   60%
35% for your higher midterm score, 25% for
your lower score.
Section Attendance:       5%
Up to two absences without deductions, 2-0% thereafter.
Section Participation:   11%
Quality and preparedness are key.
News Reflections
  14%
Reading Quizzes             10%

100%
7% each; no late submissions for any reason.
18 quizzes—we count your 16 best scores.

Curve: Final grades will be curved to a median grade of B (L&S grade average). Straight As are
reserved for consistently excellent work. Experience suggests that approximately 15-20% of
students will earn this distinction. Sustained effort is a prerequisite for a passing grade. Fs are
individually earned and not the result of a curve.

[System] You extract structured syllabus data from university course documents. Return valid JSON only, matching the requested schema exactly.

[User]
Extract structured syllabus information from the following document.
Return JSON with keys: document_id, source_url, course_codes, instructors, emails, section_names, assignments, readings, grading_weights, due_dates, course_dates, concepts, study_plan, text_field, entities.
The study_plan value must be a JSON array of objects, one per syllabus section region, each with section_heading (string) and the same list-of-strings fields as the top level (course_codes, readings, assignments, due_dates, course_dates, concepts, grading_weights, instructors, emails), grouping items that fall under that section.

Chemistry 103 is the first semester course in a two-semester General Chemistry sequence.  The second
semester course is Chemistry 104.  Students who take Chemistry 103 should also plan to take Chemistry
104.  Chemistry 103 and 104 provide a general background concerning the principles and factual basis of
chemistry.  The 103-104 sequence serves as a prerequisite for advanced courses such as Organic
Chemistry (341 or 343), Analytical Chemistry (327 or 329), and Inorganic Chemistry (311).  Students in
Chemistry 103 should have placed into Math 114 or higher.
Required Material

Textbook: Chemistry the Central Science, Brown, Lemay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodword, 12 edition.
Pearson
Lab Manual: Chemistry 103 Laboratory Manual, Fall 2011, Chemistry Department, University of
Wisconsin-Madison; available in the chemistry building lobby from Alpha Chi Sigma, sold (cash only)
during the first two weeks of class.
Lab Notebook: Carbonless laboratory notebook with duplicate pages available from Alpha Chi Sigma or
local bookstores.
Safety Goggles: Industrial quality eye protection is required at all times when you are in the lab. Safety
goggles that completely seal around the eyes and fit over regular glasses can be purchased from local
bookstores.
An electronic RF “clicker”.  The lectures will make extensive use of student “voting” on concept tests,
surveys, and other questions.  You will need to buy an I-Clicker radio-frequency clicker and bring it to
every lecture.  These can be purchased at the University Bookstore.
Calculator: An inexpensive calculator is required. It should have capabilities for square roots, logarithms
and exponentiation (antilogarithms), and exponential (scientific) notation operations. The calculator will be
used on homework assignments, quizzes, exams, and in the lab. Any programmable calculator may be
used so long as 1) it is allowable for both the ACT and SAT exams and 2) it is only used for simple
mathematical calculations and not used to store information such as chemical formulas or equations.

http://my.wisc.edu, clicking on Activate your NetID, and following the directions. You may also change your
NetID password at this same Web site.
Much information about this course will be transmitted via email, using an automated email list based on
registration in the course. It is best to use your @wisc.edu email for UW-Madison communications. You
can tell your other email accounts to forward to your @wisc.edu email account, or vice versa.
Course Organization and Expectations
This course has been designed and organized to help you learn chemistry, but no course or instructor can
learn for you. Learning is something only you can do. For that reason you are the most important feature
of the course. This means that you will need to devote considerable out-of-class time to studying the
subject. The rest of this syllabus outlines the features of the course than will help you learn.
Many of you are first semester freshmen.  You will find several significant differences between your high
school course and this course.  Perhaps the biggest is the amount of time you should expect to put into
this course, this ranging from 8-12 hours of out-side of class studying per week.  The precise amount will
depend on your academic background, native ability, and desired success level.  In order to keep up, it is
essential that you work on improving your studying and time management skills.  A recommended study
strategy for this course is: 1) read the assigned material in the text before each whole class session, 2)
attend class and take your own notes, 3) having read the Chapter as soon as possible begin to work
homework problems. When you encounter problems that you cannot solve, refer to the text, your notes, a
tutorial, or your fellow students.  Forming a study group to work through problems is an excellent way to
learn chemistry.
Throughout this course emphasis will be placed on understanding chemistry and learning to think
effectively in solving problems. Successful problem solving requires a basic knowledge of principles, facts
and terms: a vocabulary of chemistry.  This course includes a range of activities that are aimed at
facilitating the learning process.  These activities are described below.
Lectures
You are expected to attend all lectures. During lectures we will discuss principles, outline goals, and
present illustrations and demonstrations. We will make frequent use of in-class “ConcepTests” for which
you will use your electronic clickers to vote for answers and, following discussions with your neighbors,
revise your votes. A lecture is not intended to describe or explain everything you should learn; rather, it will
indicate what topics it is important to study and should provide some insight into those topics. Lecture will
also give you an opportunity to think about these topics and see if you understand them. You should take
notes during lecture, but this ought not be a passive, unthinking process. Your notes should reflect your
understanding of what you heard and saw, not just a repetition of what the lecturer said or wrote on the
chalkboard. Sample lecture notes taken by a TA will be posted on Learn@UW shortly after each lecture.
Occasionally Powerpoint will be used and the slides will be available to download from the course web
page.
Lecture Demonstrations. Many chemical reactions and other phenomena are sufficiently dangerous or
expensive that it is not practical for all students to experience them first hand. Nevertheless such reactions
may illustrate important principles or show important facts that will be useful later on in chemistry and
other science courses, or in everyday life. The UW-Madison Chemistry Department has a tradition of
using lecture demonstrations to help students understand chemistry. When a demonstration is done in
class, make careful observations of what happens and make certain that you understand the principles
the demonstration is designed to illustrate. All demonstrations are important, and questions about
observations or principles that have been presented via demonstrations can occur on examinations.
Textbook.  The textbook supplements the lectures. It provides background material for the lectures and
also works out many relevant examples.  In addition, at the end of each chapter are a number of
problems, and in the appendices are answers to selected problems.  For an understanding of the material

3
in this course it is important to solve as many of these problems as possible. Plan to buy your own
textbook. A reference copy of the textbook is available for consultation in the Chemistry library.
Discussion/Laboratory Sections
A group of 22 or fewer students constitutes a discussion/laboratory section supervised by one Teaching
Assistant (TA). Discussion sections are for questions, help, review, and problem solving relevant to recent
lectures, homework, laboratory experiments and other assigned material. You should be prepared when
you come to the discussion class and ask specific questions. Your TA may also discuss material relevant
to the laboratory in discussion section.
On Line Homework.  There are 14 on-line “Mastering Chemistry” homework assignments.  See the
course schedule for the due dates given in parentheses. You need to register on the Mastering Chemistry
website to gain access to the assignments (see instructions on Learn@UW). The homework should be
printed out at the beginning of the week, and the answers should be entered online before 11pm on the
day of the assignment.  There is a 55 minute grace period after which no uncompleted problems can be
accepted.  Additional problems from the book will be assigned as practice, but not graded.  Chemistry is a
problem solving science, and the importance of working these problems cannot be understated.  We
encourage you to work in groups and not attempt to work on the questions at the last minute.  All
questions regarding the “Mastering Chemistry” homework should be sent to chem103hw@chem.wisc.edu.
Laboratory
The laboratory is extremely important to an understanding and appreciation of chemistry. In laboratory you
will have the opportunity to do chemistry and to apply experimental techniques to solving chemical
problems. You should prepare in advance for each laboratory exercise by writing up an introduction and
procedural outline in your lab notebook. Optional pre-lab quizzes are available on the course website and
they will help your understanding of the most important information. The scores for these quizzes will not
be added to your total course score. During the lab period you will carry out the experiment, take notes,
and complete your data analysis.  All your work must be turned in at the end of the period in the form of
the duplicate pages from your lab notebook. Your laboratory report is due at a time specified by your TA.
Please note that late laboratory reports are not graded.  You will be graded on your in-lab experimental
technique and data analysis, and on your note taking skills. The schedule of labs is given in the course
schedule provided.  Italicized labs are computer labs.
In some cases you will need to work with other students in your lab to devise an experimental procedure
to solve a problem. We encourage you to discuss your work with your fellow students and TA while doing
the experiment. However, your lab write-up must be done as indicated in the lab manual, which often
means an individual write-up. A more detailed description of how lab work will be carried out is provided in
the lab manual.
Safety Quiz
The Safety Quiz must be passed with a perfect score before you can begin lab work. Therefore you
should study the safety information in your laboratory manual and take the Safety Quiz as soon as
possible. You must complete the Safety Quiz before your laboratory session the week of Sept 12. You can
take the Safety Quiz as many times as necessary to attain a perfect score.
Resources.  Your best source of information is your teaching assistant.  They understand what it takes to
succeed in this course and are trained professionals who can help you navigate this semester.  The
Greater University Tutoring Service (GUTS) offers free assistance to any student in this class via a variety
of programs.  These include study group tutoring, individual tutoring, study skills counseling. The
chemistry fraternity AXE also provides free tutoring.  You can meet with the professors after class, during
their office hours, or by setting up an appointment by email.
Technology Enhanced Learning.
Much of the material for this course is only available via Learn@UW. You are urged to visit the web site
routinely for up to date class information.  You have access to the 103 materials via Learn@UW only if
you are enrolled in this course. You can use Learn@UW on your own computer, a friend’s computer, or
any other computer on campus. Direct your Web browser to https://learnuw.wisc.edu/  and log in. You will
be asked for your NetID Username and Password. If you have a problem logging in, and you have been
registered for this section of Chem 103 for at least two days, send an email to rbain@chem.wisc.edu.
