Material Detail

This open textbook is being utilized in a Sociology course for undergraduate and/or graduate students by Flor Saldana at California State University San Marcos. The open textbook provides required readings and videos to introduce/enhance students’ knowledge. Material covers theory, crime contexts, and criminal justice issues in the study of women and crime. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to reduce course costs for students. Most students access the open textbook in their Library Reserves list available through the library.

California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represents Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
