Note to Students

[onefixedstar]

When asked on an exam to critique a theory, writing that the theory was well-regarded and influential in its own time, but is considered careless and incomplete by contemporary sociologists is not going to get you any marks if you offer absolutely no evidence that you know what the theory in question is. It's a good attempt, I suppose, but we aren't going to be fooled by a series of overly general statements with no specifics.
