The Soc101 Class Pack 2.0 will use Dalton Conley&rsquo;s intro textbook <a href=\"http:\/\/books.wwnorton.com\/books\/detail.aspx?ID=17168\">You May Ask Yourself<\/a>.  I read at least 15 intro textbooks and can safely say that Conley&rsquo;s is the best text for this project.  Conley&rsquo;s irreverent style and use of pop culture to explain sociological concepts is extremely effective and the text&rsquo;s price (around $60) literally can&rsquo;t be beat.  While I could tell you more about it, why don&rsquo;t I let Dalton speak for himself.  I had the pleasure of interviewing Dalton and I asked him about how he teaches intro to sociology and how he sees <a href=\"http:\/\/books.wwnorton.com\/books\/detail.aspx?ID=17168\">You May Ask Yourself<\/a> supporting good teaching.<\/p>\n<p> <object height=\"28\" width=\"335\"><param value=\"http:\/\/www.divshare.com\/flash\/audio_embed?data=YTo2OntzOjU6ImFwaUlkIjtzOjE6IjQiO3M6NjoiZmlsZUlkIjtzOjg6IjE0NzI2NDc5IjtzOjQ6ImNvZGUiO3M6MTI6IjE0NzI2NDc5LTI3YiI7czo2OiJ1c2VySWQiO3M6NzoiMjMxODc4MSI7czoxMjoiZXh0ZXJuYWxDYWxsIjtpOjE7czo0OiJ0aW1lIjtpOjEzMDQzNDM3MDE7fQ==&amp;autoplay=default\" name=\"movie\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sociologysource.squarespace.com\/storage\/audio\/01%201_%20Dalton%20Conley.mp3\">To download right click here and select &ldquo;save file as&rdquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Announcing the Soc101 Class Pack 2.0 The Soc101 Class Pack has been a huge hit with more downloads than I could&rsquo;ve imagined and it was covered by The Sociology Lens, and the Office Hours podcast.
