"Sociology is not just a matter of opinion." This is completely true. When you look at the different methodology's that were mentioned during class and in the blog you see there is much more to sociology. Sociology involves planning and experiments in some other cases. In others, there is interpretation of previous cases/studies or observation which I guess can be a matter of your own opinion. I believe that sociology has much more substance to it other then opinion.
To relate our solar project to siena it would definitely help us move to a more green approach which is starting to spread through campus. It would involve basically every one on campus, we would need the cooperation of the presidents, vice pres., deans, teaching staff, facilities (to maintain the project), alumni, current students, town of colonie, and the community surrounding siena.
As for the break down of the grades, I think that is way to chaotic and the only thing we have accomplished is that we will evaluate each other on participation. I think it might be easier (a little crazy) if each table decided their own fate (or the individual) so there is not so much frustration. But I also believe that this approach would go against whatever Dr. Johnson it trying to get us to achieve or how he wants us to work together.
