Prepare Yourself to Read and Write
Being a sociology major entails a significant amount of reading. The more sociology courses you take, the more difficult and time-consuming the texts become. It may be difficult to comprehend some of the more famous sociological texts, especially if you are reading them for the first time. It is possible for articles to be overstuffed with jargon, data, and ickiness. On this site, I've written extensively on the benefits of skimming information. I used to believe that everyone was reading everything and that I was just being outpaced by everyone else because I was a slow reader. Then I discovered that everyone was skimming the document. I produced two excellent articles to teach you the skill of skimming articles and academic books, which I believe will be of great use to you in your studies. You are not need to feel sluggish or behind.
