SCLG2613 Sociology of Childhood and Youth
UNIT DESCRIPTION
This unit of study examines the main sociological approaches to childhood and youth in
modern industrial societies, as well as the ways in which particular perspectives on childhood
are central to all social theory. It will examine the debates surrounding the historical
development of childhood, and the various approaches to the impact of state intervention
and social policies on both the experiences of childhood and youth and the transition to
adulthood. Specific topics discussed include; the social construction of child abuse, youth
homelessness and youth criminality as social problems, the stolen generations, children and
the law, the fertility decline, and the differentiation of childhood experience along lines of
class, gender, race and ethnicity.
PREREQUISITES
Prerequisites: 12 Junior credit points from Sociology Prohibitions: SCLG2522
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this unit of study you should be able to:

LEARNING STRUCTURE
代写 SCLG2613 Sociology of Childhood and Youth assignment
Lecture: 2 hours per week, Wednesday 10-12, Carslaw Lecture Theatre 275.
Tutorials: 1 hour per week (your designated tutorial time will be available through myuni).
Lectures
Each week there is a two-hour lecture, which you are strongly encouraged to attend. The
lectures act as the lynchpin for the knowledge you will explore in your reading and in your
tutorial discussions. While some material used in each lecture may be provided on the
eLearning site for this unit, these are not guaranteed for each week, nor are the overheads
an adequate replacement for lecture attendance.
Tutorials
Tutorials run each week unless otherwise indicated in the unit guide. You will need to attend
your assigned tutorial. The tutorials are the context in which you will be able to fine-tune your
understanding of the lecture and reading material, and they are intended as a vehicle for the
development of your ability for critical thinking through informed classroom discussion. This
means that it is important for you to prepare for each tutorial. Preparation for tutorials
includes attending the lecture and doing the set reading for each week. You should also
spend some time thinking critically and actively about the material covered in lectures and
readings, what ideas and questions you should bring to class and you should come to your
tutorial and lecture prepared to actively participate in class discussion.

ATTENDANCE
According to Faculty Board Resolutions, students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences are
expected to attend 80% of their classes. If you attend less than 50% of classes, regardless of the
reasons, you may be referred to the Examiner’s Board. The Examiner’s Board will decide whether
you should pass or fail the unit of study if your attendance falls below this threshold.
If a unit of study has a participation mark, your attendance may influence this mark.
For more information on attendance, see
http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/policies.shtml.
READING REQUIREMENTS
Throughout the semester there is ‘required reading’ for you to complete BEFORE
tutorials. You should expect to do a number of hours of reading each week for this
unit.
ELECTRONIC READINGS
Rather than asking you to purchase a reader or textbook, required readings have been made
available for you electronically, either through our database and journal subscriptions or
through e-reserve. As senior students you are expected to know how to access such
material. If you do not know how to do so please enroll yourself in an appropriate library
users course at Fisher.
ONLINE COMPONENTS
This unit requires regular use of the University’s Learning Management System (LMS), also known as
Blackboard. You will need reliable access to a computer and the internet to use the LMS. The
University uses learning analytics to understand student participation on the LMS and improve the
student learning experience.
The Blackboard site for this unit will be an important resource for you. You will find weekly slides
(where available) from the lectures, links to further resources (including videos shown in class), details
of further readings and any class announcements. Your assessment will also be submitted through
the Blackboard site (see under assessment). You should check in with the blackboard site regularly
The easiest way to access the LMS is through MyUni (click on the ‘MyUni’ link on the university home
page, http://sydney.edu.au or link directly to the service at https://myuni.sydney.edu.au/. There is
a ‘Blackboard LMS’ icon in the top row of the QuickLaunch window on the left hand side of the screen.
If you have any difficulties logging in or using the system, visit the Student Help area of the LMS site,
http://sydney.edu.au/elearning/student/help/.
The University’s Privacy Management Plan governs how the University will deal with personal
information related to the content and use of its web sites. See http://sydney.edu.au/privacy.shtml
for further details.
Lecture Recording
Lectures delivered in University-owned lecture theatres are recorded and may be made available to
students on the LMS. However, you should not rely on lecture recording to substitute your classroom
learning experience.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
This unit uses standards-based assessment for award of assessment marks. Your assessments will
be evaluated solely on the basis of your individual performance.
SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENTS
Compliance Statements
All students are required to submit an authorised statement of compliance with all work submitted to
the University for assessment, presentation or publication. A statement of compliance certifies that no
part of the work constitutes a breach of the Academic Honesty in Coursework Policy 2016.
The format of the compliance statement will be in the form of:
a. a University assignment cover sheet; or
b. a University electronic form.
Assessment Submission
Submission of assessment tasks will be required by the due date. Written assessments must be
submitted online through the LMS. Other assessments, for example visual or oral assessments, must
be submitted according to the assessment instructions.
Work not submitted on or before the due date is subject to a penalty of 2% per day late. Refer to
http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/late_work.shtml for the Policy on Late Work.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND PLAGIARISM
Academic honesty is a core value of the University, so all students are required to act honestly,
ethically and with integrity. This means that the University is opposed to and will not tolerate academic
dishonesty or plagiarism, and will treat all allegations of academic dishonesty and plagiarism seriously.
The consequences of engaging in plagiarism and academic dishonesty, along with the process by
which they are determined and applied, are set out in the Academic Honesty in Coursework Policy
2016. You can find these documents University Policy Register at http://sydney.edu.au/policies
(enter “Academic Honesty” in the search field).
Definitions
According to the Policy, plagiarism means representing another person’s work (i.e., ideas, findings or
words) as one’s own work by presenting, copying or reproducing it without appropriate
acknowledgement of the source. Academic dishonesty means seeking to obtain or obtaining
academic advantage for oneself or others (including in the assessment or publication of work) by
dishonest or unfair means. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:
• Resubmission (or recycling) of work that is the same, or substantially the same as work
previously submitted for assessment in the same or in a different unit of study. Every unit of
study expects each student to produce new material based upon research conducted in that
unit;
• Dishonest plagiarism;
• Engaging another person to complete or contribute to an assessment in your place; and
• Various forms of misconduct in examinations (including copying from another student and
taking prohibited materials into an examination venue).
Use of Similarity Detection Software
Students should be aware that all written assignments submitted in this unit of study will be submitted
to similarity detecting software known as Turnitin. Turnitin searches for matches between text in your
written assessment task and text sourced from the Internet, published works, and assignments that
have previously been submitted to Turnitin for analysis.
There will always be some degree of text-matching when using Turnitin. Text-matching may occur in
use of direct quotations, technical terms and phrases, or the listing of bibliographic material. This does
not mean you will automatically be accused of academic dishonesty or plagiarism, although Turnitin
reports may be used as evidence in academic dishonesty and plagiarism decision-making processes.
Further information about Turnitin is available at
http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/plagiarism_and_turnitin.shtml.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Students can apply for Special Consideration for serious illness or misadventure. An application for
special consideration does not guarantee the application will be granted.
Further information on applying for special consideration is available at
http://sydney.edu.au/current_students/special_consideration/index.shtml.
OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELEVANT TO THIS UNIT OF STUDY
The Faculty’s Student Administration Manual is available for reference here
http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/student_admin_manual.shtml. Most day-to-day
issues you encounter in the course of completing this Unit of Study can be addressed with the
information provided in the Manual. It contains detailed instructions on processes, links to forms and
guidance on where to get further assistance.
YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT
The Unit of Study Survey
The University conducts an online survey for units of study every semester. You will be notified by
email when the survey opens. You are encouraged to complete the survey to provide important
feedback on the unit just before the end of semester. You can complete the survey at
http://www.itl.usyd.edu.au/surveys/complete
How Student Feedback has been used to develop this Unit of Study
Student feedback in 2015 showed that the tutorial reflections helped keep students engaged through
the unit and offered inspiration for deeper learning and discussion in the tutorials. This year the
reflections have been refined with students offered the opportunity to submit short videos in lieu of
written reflections. A marking matrix has also been developed for these reflections, which will
compliment the feedback received in tutorial discussions.
Other feedback suggested that students were interested in learning more about the conduct of
research with children and young people; a topic touched on in 2015 across a number of lectures but
never the sole focus of a week. As a result I have introduced a specific week on research, inviting a
guest to speak to students about social research with children and reorganizing some other content
(particularly the week on poverty) to more clearly focus on this topic.
