Social Studies 30-2

Course Description

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 includes several timed, Proctorio-supervised assessments, including a final exam. These require a working webcam, a microphone, and a clear desk or table. Students are not allowed to write supervised assessments on a bed. 

While built-in cameras are acceptable, using an external webcam is highly recommended; it provides a better field of view, which significantly reduces the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity. These can typically be purchased affordably online.

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