Lecturers Nonkululeko Mabaso and Tlhabanyane Mogatosi created an interactive environment within iKamva (Contemporary Sociological Theory and Social Science Research /SOC 323). The module focuses on contemporary sociological theory and social science research methods, equipping students with advanced competencies in research design, data collection, and theoretical analysis. 

Course Overview: Comprehensive Pathway of Learning and Assessment Activities

The overview within the module provides students with comprehensive insights of the learning and assessment pathway, including a clear breakdown of how each assessment component contributes to the final mark. This transparency allows students to plan their engagement with the course accordingly and understand expectations from the outset. 

Weekly Themes Scaffolded with related Course Material

Lessons are organised and renamed according to weekly themes, ensuring a logical, scaffolded progression through the course content. Lecture materials, readings and relevant resource links are embedded within each weekly theme, allowing students to engage with structured, sequential content that builds cumulatively across the semester. 

Essays and Final Exam Submissions via Assignments

Students were expected to submit essays and their final exam via the Assignments eTool. These assessments are integrated with Turnitin, enabling originality checking and supporting academic integrity throughout the assessment process.
