Social Studies 30-2

To what extent should we embrace an ideology? This question will guide you as you explore what an ideology is, and how it forms. You’ll also consider issues such as the relationship between identity and ideology as you investigate liberalism and the values attached to it and explore your personal rights, roles, and responsibilities as a citizen. This is the third and final course in the stream for students who want to achieve the basic Social Studies requirements.

Social 30-2 is a rigorous course as outlined by Alberta Education and has 8 units of study.  The course requires students to use Proctorio for some assignments, unit review quizzes, and the Midterm and Final Exams. Students are required to have a webcam and a microphone, as well as a table or desk at which they can complete their work for the Proctorio assessments.

Both the course mark and diploma exam mark are required for a final mark to appear on your transcript.

In order for a student to be successful in this course, VVS requires a minimum of 50% in Social Studies 20-2 or 40% in Social Studies 20-1.
