Frequently Asked Questions

AS Sociology is hard because of the essays. The content is fascinating, but engaging with the ideas isn't enough. Examiners want to see specific theoretical vocabulary, named studies, and structured evaluation. Learn to frame arguments using perspectives (Marxism, feminism, functionalism) from the start, rather than writing in general terms. Get into this habit early and the rest of the course clicks into place.
