Hi guys, I would like to pass Clep Sociology and have as only book: Sociology in a changing world by William Kornblum. Would that be enough and appropriate. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you and Good luck with the studies!!!!!
I've not read that text; unless it includes a background on some of the theorists of sociology, it's not going to be enough. While the test did include a lot of questions on basic concepts of sociology -- ie: defining mores and folk-ways etc... It also included more than a little on the early theorists such as Weber and Durkheim especially but also Marx and Comte. Understand the distinction between structuralism, functionalism, and Interactionism. I found the video set by The Standard Deviants (two volumes - ISBN 1-58198-018-3) to cover everything needed.
I agree with what Randall said. REA Sociology with official CLEP test guide should be enough. Good luck!
I studied the Cliffs Sociology QuickReview: 0-7645-8615-7 2-3 hours a day for about a month and it was good for a 66.
