STUDY AND RESEARCH AT THE DEPARTMENT

Educational and Professional Goals The Department of Sociology has been a leading centre for teaching and research in sociology since its establishment in 1964. From the beginning, the department has adopted an interdisciplinary approach in both teaching and research, and as such has become the model for many of the other sociology departments established later in Turkey. As far as teaching is concerned, the main objective of the department is to create for its students the kind of academic and intellectual environment in which they can acquire the best possible professional knowledge in theoretical and empirical issues and experience in sociological research. In the case of research, the department aims at making a maximum contribution to the advancement of science, and to the social and economic development of the country.

Major Fields of Research Interests The major fields of research interests as represented by the recently published or the ongoing research topics of the teaching staff are as follows: ageing and the elderly, arts and society, criminology, domestic life and women, employment, environmental issues, industrial relations, health and illness, cultural groups, ethnic and minority groups, media and communication, migration, methodology in the social sciences, physical and mental disability, rural-agrarian change and peasantry, social stratification and mobility, socio-cultural change, social and political violence, youth culture, traffic safety and urban life.

DEGREE PROGRAMMES AND ENROLLMENT

Degree Programmes The names and average lengths of the degree programmes offered by the Department are as follows:

• Undergraduate studies leading to a Bachelors degree in sociology, 4 years, • Masters studies leading to a Master of Science degree in sociology, 2 years, • Ph.D. studies leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree in sociology (Ph. D), 4

years.

Number Students Enrolled The Department has (as of autumn 2009) a total of 387 students enrolled in its degree programmes. The distribution of the students by programme and sex is as follows:

1. Undergraduate: 302 (241 female, 61 male) 2. Masters: 53 (25 female, 28 male) 3. Ph.D.: 32 (17 female, 15 male).

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME

Requirements for Entrance and Graduation The Department accepts each year a maximum of 70 students for undergraduate studies, depending on its teaching resources. Individuals wishing to study sociology as undergraduates in the Department are required to have completed successfully their lycee/high school education or its equivalent and to have obtained enough points from the university entrance exam. This exam is organized centrally and annually by the Student Selection and Placement Centre, and the students are placed by the same centre into departments according to their choice of university and the rank order of the points they have obtained. The undergraduate students are not required to take any other exam before registering for study in the Department. In order to graduate, the students should earn from their studies a minimum of 128 credits in accordance with the principles explained in the following section on the Structure of the Programme.

Structure of the Programme The curriculum for undergraduate studies defines a single programme based on course work. The courses are of four types: (1) university common compulsory courses, (2) departmental compulsory courses, (3) intra-departmental elective courses and (4) extra-departmental elective courses.

1. The university common compulsory courses comprise those with course codes AİT (Atatürk’s Principles and History of Turkish Revolution), TKD (Turkish Language), and a Foreign Language (usually English, French, German, Italian or Spanish) course. These courses have to be taken by all students registered with the university and the credits gained are not included in the minimum total credits required for graduation. However, credits gained from a foreign language course other than that is taken by a student as a must course included in the minimum total credits required for graduation. Students can take exemption exams for a compulsory Foreign Language course and successful students are granted the full grades they obtain in this way. 2. Departmental compulsory courses comprise those courses which are offered by the Department and which all the sociology undergraduate students must take in order to graduate. There are 24 compulsory courses in the curriculum and they yield a total of 72 credits.

3. Intra-departmental elective courses comprise those courses which are offered by the Department itself, and the students must acquire a minimum of 12 credits from the courses that they select from this group. By a special regulation in force in the Department, first and second year students can take only first and second year electives, third and fourth year students can take only second, third and fourth year elective courses. A further qualification for these elective courses is that, according to a decision of the University Senate, a minimum of ten students must register for an elective course for it to be taught in a particular semester.

3

4. Extra-departmental elective courses comprise the students’ choice from: (a) all of the courses (must or elective) offered by the departments of Anthropology, History, History of Art, Psychology, Philosophy, Economics, Public Administration, International Relations and Social Work, Turkish Language and Literature, Turkish Ethnology, English Linguistics, German Language and Literature, French Language and Literature, American Culture and Literature, and (b) with the special approval of Departmental Board, any other course offered by any other department within the university.

A student must acquire a minimum of 9 credits from extra-departmental elective courses and should seek the approval of the lecturer giving the course before registering for it. It is entirely left to the student to choose from any of the courses thus determined but the Department, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach, actively encourages the students to take more courses than required with a view to their future professional career and academic interests. By a special regulation in force in the Department, first and second year students can take only first and second year electives, third and fourth year students can take only second, third and fourth year elective courses.

Assessment Methods According to the university regulations, students’ academic performance for each course must be assessed at least twice during the term time and once soon after the term is finished, that is in the final exams. The method, scope, time and weight of assessment are left to the lecturer to decide. The usual method of assessment is a written exam with essay type questions. However, the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers or require the students to give seminar presentations, write term papers or assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each individual course is provided in the section on Course Contents below.

Grading System The grading system as defined by the university regulations rests on points and their equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown in the following chart. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative labels (outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their equivalents in scores.

Points Grade Score Result 90-100 A1 4.0 Successful 85-89 A2 3.5 Successful 75-84 B1 3.0 Successful 70-74 B2 2.5 Successful 65-69 C1 2.0 Successful 60-64 C2* 1.5 Conditionally successful 55-59 D1* 1.0 Conditionally successful 50-54 D2* 0.5 Conditionally successful 0-49 F3 0.0 Failed in the final examination F2 0.0 Failed to attend the final examination without any legitimate

reason to do so F1 0.0 Failed because of absenteeism, does not have the right to

enter the final exam G Successful in a non-credit course K Failed in a non-credit courses H Has legitimate excuse for not attending the final examination M Exempt from the course concerned ∗ C2, D1 or D2 grades are considered successful on the condition that the student has not taken any F1, F2, F3 or K grades in the same semester. Students, whose C2, D1 or

4

D2 grades have thus been accepted as pass grades are permitted to repeat the same course in order to increase their grades, in which case it is the latest grade that will be counted.

Course Code and Title: SOS 203-Classical Sociological Theories I Course Type: Compulsory Course Level: Undergraduate Year and Semester: Second year, Autumn Course Length: One semester, 3 hours lectures per week Prerequisite(s): None Language of Instruction: Turkish Course Credits: 3 0 3 ECTS Credits: 6 Lecturer: Dr. Abdulkerim Sönmez Course Contents: The course consists of three parts. The first makes a critical introduction to how to distinguish between philosophical and social-scientific thinking and the centrality of classics in the development of social and sociaological theory. This is followed in the second part by an examination of the selected writings of some of the most influential scholars and founding fathers of social theory and sociological thought in antiquity and medival times, namely Plato, Aristotel and Farabi. The third part starts with an examination of Ibn Haldun’s grounding of sociology as a rational-ampirical science, then concentrates on his theory of historical development as an expression of dialectical relations between social organization, politics, economics and culture, and religion and religous movements as an important factor in the development of history and society. This examination serves to illustrate not only a major achievement in the development of sociological thought as separate from philosophy and history but also as an opportunity to draw attention to major issues concerning theorization of temporal conditions and cyclical patterns of societal and political organization in historical sociology and sociological theory in premodern times. This is followed by an examination of writings of Montesquieu and Tocqueville who witnessed the closing of the mediaval ages but did not see the full emergence of modern society. Course Objectives: Any successfull student taken this course understands and expresses the approach and the fundamental theoretical structure of the work of each scholar witin itself and in comparison to that of other scholars examined; understands and expresses the differences between philosophical and scientific approaches to society and social issues; understands, expresses and illustrates how the process of construction of sociological theory faces the ampirical reality in its historico-temporal and culture-specific contexts and what the significance these latter sets of factors have for the universal relevance of sociological theory, and develops her/his awareness and grasp of the significance of power, authority, social solidarity and hegemony in the formation of state and society and the dialectical relations between the state, society, culture and economy. Teaching Method: Lectures and classroom discussions. Assessment Method: Written exam (two midtersm (50 %) and one final (50 %). Recommended Reading: Aristoteles.

MASTERS PROGRAMME

Entrance Requirements Entrance to masters studies in the Department is conditional upon the satisfaction of several criteria. The Department organizes both written and oral exams for the applicants to test the level of their academic performance in sociological theory, research methodology and their general awareness of current issues. However, only these holding a bachelors degree with an average academic score of 2.5 out of 4 (or its equivalent) in the social, political, administrative, economic, and psychological sciences or humanities can apply for postgraduate masters studies in the Department. These individuals are required to have obtained a minimum of 55 points from the Postgraduate Study Exam (ALES), and 60 points or equivalent from the Foreign Language Exam(s) of KPDS or ÜDS, both of which are organized by the Student Selection and Placement Centre. Alternatively, the applicants may take TOEFL or IELTS exams in which case they need to obtain a score of 58 and 6.5 respectively. Individuals who fail to provide documentary proof of the level of their proficiency in a foreign language (usually English, French or German) may be granted one year of leave to improve their foreign language, provided that they have passed the Departmental entrance exam. The applicants can include reference letters in their application files if they wish.

Structure of the Programme The programme for masters studies combines course work with the writing of a thesis. All courses are elective and the students are required to acquire a total of 21 credits with a general average academic score of 2.5 (out of 4) from these courses in the first year of their studies. The students can take maximum 12 credits in each term. Those who fail to do so may be granted an extra year to improve their scores. With the approval of the head of the Department, the students can take some of the elective courses from other departments. In addition, graduates of disciplines/departments other than sociology may be required to spend one or two semesters studying/taking a number of selected undergraduate courses before starting their masters studies. These students are allowed to take a maximum of three masters courses from other departments. Upon completion of their course work, the students are required to produce an original thesis based on genuine research. This is done under the supervision of a member of the Department and the research project requires approval of the Departmental Board. The thesis produced by the student must be defended by himself/herself before a jury whose final decision rests on majority vote.

Assessment Methods According to the university regulations, students’ academic performance for each course must be assessed at least twice during the term time and once soon after the term is finished, that is in the final exams. The method, scope, time and weight of assessment are left to the lecturer to decide. Thus the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers or require the students to give seminar presentations or to write term papers, assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each individual course is provided in the section on Course Contents below.

Grading System The grading system as defined by the university regulations rests on points and their equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown in the following chart. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative labels (outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their equivalents in scores.

Course Objectives: At the end of the course the students are expected to be able to recognize and analyse the methodological strategies employed in a given sociological study, and to be able to make informed decisions about the methodological, practical and ethical issues involved in the intended/planned research that they will be doing as part of their postgraduate studies.

The first part starts with an examination of the historical process leading to the formation of a peasant economy and society and its links with the process of state formation and the development of division of labour. This is followed by an examination of how the peasant societies were forced to shift from subsistence to commodity production in various ways to modernity and what consequences these had for the internal structure of peasant communities and the wider structures into which such communities were integrated. Within this general framework, the second part deals with the case of Turkey. Here particular attention is paid to the Ottoman policy of creating a peasantry out of nomadic tribes and hence a traditional state based on peasant economy, the formation and development of the Ottoman land regime, the process of transition from subsistence to commodity production, and state policies aiming at the structural transformation of peasant economy in the republican period. Course Objectives: On completion of this course, the students develop their grasp of the social, cultural and economic aspects of rural populations and peasantry, develop interest in research and policy issues concerning the process and consequences of rural transformations in connection with economy, culture and polity in contemporary societies, and make a critical assessment of rural-agricultural development policies and projects.

Ph.D. PROGRAMME

Entrance Requirements Applicants are required to have obtained at least an average of 70 points (out of 100) from the oral entrance exams organized by the Department. These applicants can be (a) either those who hold a masters degree with an average academic score of 3.2 out of 4 (or its equivalent) in the social, political, administrative, economic, and psychological sciences or humanities or (b) graduates whose qualifications apart from having a masters degree satisfy all other other criteria and who wish to combine their masters studies with Ph. D. For this second kind of applicants a different programme is organized by the Department, as explained under Structure of the Programme. All applicants are required to have obtained a minimum of 60 points from the Postgraduate Study Exam (ALES), and at least 70 points or equivalent from the Foreign Language Exam(s) (KPDS or ÜDS), which are organized by the Student Selection and Placement Centre. Alternatively, the applicants may take TOEFL or IELTS exams in which case they need to obtain a score of 74 or 7.5, respectively. The applicants can include reference letters in their application files if they wish.

Structure of the Programme The programme for Ph.D. studies combines course work with the writing of a thesis.The curriculum consists of elective courses and the students are required to acquire a total of 24 credits with an average score of 3.0 (out of 4) within the first two years of their studies. The undergraduates who are accepted to the programme without having a masters degree should acquire from both masters and Ph.D. courses a minimum of 42 credits within the first three years of their studies. With the approval of the head of the Department, the students can take some of the elective courses from other departments. Those who fail to complete their course work in two years are dismissed. Upon completion of their course work, students are required to take a Ph.D. proficiency exam assessing the level of their performance in sociological theory, research methods and the theoretical and empirical issues related to the topic of their intended Ph.D. research. Successful students are initially granted a two year period to produce their theses based on original research and making a genuine contribution either to the advancement of science or to formulation of a social policy that may help to cope with a significant social problem. In termly meetings, a Ph.D. review committee consisting of the supervisor and two other staff oversees the progress that the student is making and may, at the end of the second year of thesis writing, grant the satisfactory student an extra two years to complete his/her work. The thesis produced must be defended by the student before a jury whose decision rests on majority vote.

Assessment Methods According to the university regulations, students’ academic performance for each course must be assessed at least twice during the term time and once soon after the term is finished, that is in the final exams. The method, scope, time and weight of assessment are left to the lecturer to decide. Thus the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers or require the students to give seminar presentations or to write term papers, assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each individual course is provided in the section on Course Contents below.

Grading System The grading system as defined by the university regulations rests on points and their equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown in the following chart. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative labels

102

(outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their equivalents in scores.

Points Grade Score Result 90-100 A1 4.0 Successful 85-89 A2 3.5 Successful 75-84 B1 3.0 Successful 70-74 B2 2.5 Failed 65-69 C1 2.0 Failed 60-64 C2 1.5 Failed 55-59 D1 1.0 Failed 50-54 D2 0.5 Failed 0-49 F3 0.0 Failed in the final examination F2 0.0 Failed to attend the final examination without any legitimate
