Upon completion of this course the student will be able to explain and understand the discipline's terms, knowledge of theories, methods and vocabulary of the Family in contemporary and past terms.  In addition, fundamental principles of family life will include impact of the socialization process on the family collectivity, functions and meanings of the family in conjunction with the origins and especially rituals and family goals in regard to the greater social order. There will be an emphasis on those aspects of the family and alternate life styles that will add to and increase the student's understanding of themselves in relation to the/ir family. Learning Objectives

Four Exams demonstrating an applied knowledge of class and text material with the average of the four being the final grade. (See Grading Standards) Topics for exams are announced ahead of time with the option to submit paper early for comments. Failure to attend four classes will result in final grade being lowered by 1/3. Miss 1/2 the classes - Fail. Upper level courses require consistent, active participation often with lively, adult participation. Extra credit is not offered in any of Dr Jack's classes because: 1. It is not an equitable procedure and 2. It may be considered  academic blackmail. Passwords and addresses will not be accepted after second week of classes. And any other exams so deamed appropriate by the instructor.
