Determining Course Content in the Introductory Course
Teaching the Mass Class
Ideology and Political Economy
This is the third in a series of three papers exploring undergraduate teaching in American institutions of higher education, and the norms that surround or confine it. The central problem addressed is why, despite the obvious functional significance of teaching for all institutions, and the well-documented opinions of American faculty members that it is more important than research, the same faculty members also support the fully-institutionalize…
Homo Academicus
Teaching Large Classes Well
Discussion and Commentary on the Professor as Teacher
The papers by Hans Mauksch and Paul Baker are in some ways quite different, yet both have striking parallels and points of congruence. Mauksch makes two principal, interrelated points. First, to understand the pervasive devaluation of teaching in American higher education, we must understand the cultural and institutional contexts in which teaching is performed. Second, the increasing bureaucratization of higher education and the centralization o…

Does Teaching Make Any Difference
address in this paper a general problem, the significance of the teaching process on the undergraduate level in college or university, and offer some tentative conclusions about it I am coming to regard as inescapable, if sociologists hope to have their protestations concerning the significance of teaching taken seriously by others. It is my thesis that we have in hand accumulated evidence which, properly read, can only indicate that our concerns…

Teaching Sociology
The Function of Institutional Inbreeding
Faculty "inbreeding," though deplored in the university studied, is practiced there as a functional necessity for that university's participation in the national academic labor market, where it is handicapped by location and inadequate finances. The consequence is a systematic discrimination against the inbred faculty member. This hypothesis is tested by propositions relating to working conditions of junior faculty with data comparing inbred and …

Academic Gamesmanship
Scholastic Dishonesty Among Undergraduates in Differing Systems of Social Control
Extensive scholastic dishonesty was found in two large Southern universities, although not to the same extent in each. This contrast raised the question of whether the observed differences in frequency were due to different personal background characteristics of the 8tudents at the two universities, or to the different forms of social control in use at the two institutions. This investigation indicates that both types of characteristics may be re…
