What’s included: Core theories, explained and applied
We convert dense sociological theory into revision-ready modules that show what examiners look for and how to apply theory to real-world examples.
Major sociological theories covered
- Functionalism — key concepts (system, function, consensus), major theorists, strengths, critiques and exam-ready applications.
- Conflict Theory — Marxist perspectives, neo-Marxism, power, inequality and social change examples.
- Symbolic Interactionism — micro-level analysis, identity formation, labelling theory and case study links.
- Feminist Theory — waves of feminism, intersectionality, patriarchy and gendered institutions.
- Social Constructionism & Postmodernism — discourse, identity politics, reflexivity and critiques of grand narratives.
- Structuralism and Neo-Structural Approaches — class, institutions and macro explanations for social phenomena.
Each theory includes a concise overview, two short model paragraphs for use in essays, and an application box with current South African or global examples.
Research methods: concise, exam-ready coverage
Understanding research methodology is essential for both method sections and essay evidence. Our notes cover every major approach with practical exam guidance.
- Quantitative methods: surveys, structured questionnaires, experiments, statistical analysis and data interpretation.
- Qualitative methods: unstructured interviews, participant observation, ethnography, focus groups and thematic analysis.
- Mixed methods: when and why to combine approaches, plus examples of triangulation.
- Sampling & data quality: probability vs non-probability sampling, sample size considerations, representativeness.
- Validity, reliability and generalisability: definitions, threats and examiner-friendly ways to evaluate methods.
- Ethics in research: consent, confidentiality, risk assessment and culturally sensitive fieldwork.
Each method section includes short checklist-style evaluation points you can memorise and deploy in exams.
