HataTheories named without application.
DüzeltmeFunctionalism, Marxism, feminism and interactionism must be applied to the topic, not just defined. Definitions earn knowledge marks only.
HataResearch methods evaluated generically.
DüzeltmeStrengths/limitations should be tied to the topic context (e.g. ethnography on schooling) — not a copy-paste list.
HataEssays without structured argument.
DüzeltmeTop bands need clear thesis → evidence → counter → conclusion. Loose essays under-score.
HataExamples drawn only from Western contexts.
DüzeltmeUse diverse, accurate examples including the student's own context where relevant.
HataConclusion that summarises rather than evaluates.
DüzeltmeTop bands close with a justified judgement on the question, not a recap.

Timed practice
Each topic is approached through multiple theoretical lenses so students learn to apply theory rather than recite it.
Research methods are taught with topic-specific examples — ethnography on schooling, surveys on family, content analysis on media.
Each command term has a structural template; we drill the templates so students don't mismatch shape and prompt.
No. Strong reading and structured-writing habits matter more than prior coursework.
Two papers, both essay-based, covering theory/methods plus the four topics.
Yes for social sciences, law, education and humanities pathways. Strong sociology develops critical-writing skills valued across degrees.
Students typically book 25–45 hours. We start with a free diagnostic.
