OpenStax Introduction to Sociology 3e Test Bank and Reading Quizzes The assessments to accompany OpenStax Sociology 3e were developed to provide instructors and students with a basis for reviewing and assessing sociological concepts, terms, theories, contributors, applications, and situations.

In response to requests for additional and varied assessments, OpenStax is expanding on the assessment resources we provide. We are doing this with significant help from Dr. Nicolas Simon and the students at Eastern Connecticut State University, whom we thank for their efforts and support of the text and the open community.

Please note that OpenStax's efforts to provide more robust support are ongoing, and through generous donations from funders and the community, we will be expanding on these offerings, as described below.

This package contains two types of question sets: 1. Test Bank: Mirroring the 2nd edition test bank and containing many of the same questions, the test bank has been updated to reflect terminology and some new questions in each chapter.

2. Reading Quiz Banks: Developed by Dr. Simon and his team, these offerings are generally vocabularybased with some light applications/situational offerings. Note that many of the topics covered repeat across a few different styles of questions in each chapter, and they are designed to have instructors choose which offerings best meet their approach and preference.

The reading quiz sets generally contain the following; • About 20-30 questions that are purely definitional, usually phrased in two manners for each term • About 20-30 questions that involve more detailed situations and people; these are also key-term based, but they have potentially a more inviting or meaningful set up.

• About 10-20 questions on "sociology facts and figures," including correlating the sociologist to the concept, discussing specific publications, dates, quantitative information, and so on.

Note that the Test Bank is All Rights Reserved and may not be posted on any publicly available web sites without infringing upon its copyright. We pursue this level of license in order to support instructors who prefer to maintain the academic integrity of the material.

Challenge/Higher-Level Questions: OpenStax is working with a number of faculty to augment these sets with more robust and higher-level multiple choice and short-answer questions. We intend for these to be released during Fall 2021.

OpenStax Tutor: Sociology 3e is supported by OpenStax Tutor, an adaptive learning system containing thousands of multiple-choice (with feedback), open-ended (with rubrics), and multimedia-inclusive questions. Tutor integrates the textbook readings and offers instructors and students the ability to check their understanding, monitor progress, and enhance the learning experience through detailed reports and recommendations. Tutor also allows instructors to add their own questions and integrate with their LMS, and Learn more at tutor.openstax.org
