Material Detail

This book is being utilized in a sociology course for undergraduate students by Jamie O’Quinn at California State University, San Bernardino. The book assigned provides an example of a qualitative interview study.  The main motivation to adopt this book was 1) to provide students with a final research product so that they could understand the research process from start to finish, and 2) replace the textbook that was previously assigned for the course, which was more expensive. Most students access the book through purchasing their own physical or digital copy, but others use the library reserve copy.

California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represents Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
