Collaborative notes
We all take notes. Some do it better, some worse, but there is no such thing as perfect notes. However working together we can combine our notes and create an easy-to-understand, online and hyperlinked study notes. The best places to add your notes would be relevant Wikipedia and Wikibooks articles on 'Sociology of the Family' - see the section below. Substantial contribution to those section will also be recognized with activity points.
