InQuizitive is Norton’s award-winning, easy-to-use adaptive learning tool that personalizes the learning experience for students, helping them master—and retain—key learning objectives. Questions on the key terms, core concepts, methods, and theories covered in each chapter ensure students get the sociology behind the stories.

Students can take notes, bookmark, search, highlight, and read offline. Instructors can add notes that are visible to students as they read the text. Norton Ebooks can be viewed on all computers and mobile devices.
These short, chapter-based quizzes on current events show students how understanding sociological theory and methods can enhance their understanding of the world around them.
