Extractions: Background Information Mission Statement History and Rationale Established Areas of Emphasis ... SLAT Courses Available A4. Program Characteristics and Activities Curriculum Except for the Proseminar, all course requirements may be met by selection from a variety of courses, depending both on student backgrounds and interests and on available departmental offerings. Of particular interest are sections of SLAT 596y Topics in SLAT other than the Proseminar. Additional sections of this course will be offered from time to time on topics such as Variation in Second Language Acquisition, Experimental Design Within Generative Theory, and Applied Phonology. SLAT Faculty members may send to the Executive Council proposals for courses they would like to offer as a section of SLAT 596y. Also of interest are courses that several collaborating departments have initiated or revised in response to the availability and needs of SLAT students. Procedures for the continuing review and modification of program offerings are a follows. Curriculum Subcommittee chairs are responsible for obtaining and consolidating information on course offerings in their areas, as well as for making decisions on their appropriateness for meeting SLAT requirements. They will input relevant information to the Graduate Advisor on a regular basis, and will inform the Executive Council of the current state of offerings and requirements in their major/minor at least once each year. The Graduate Advisor is responsible for obtaining and consolidating information on course offerings for Core requirements, and will submit suggestions for change to the Executive Council for its approval.
Notre Dame Anthropology: Letter From The Chair 2004 And, from a practical concern our burgeoning population of anthropology studentsstill demand some additional teaching and grading support which this http://www.nd.edu/~anthro/Newsletters/Newsletter_2004/chair.html
Extractions: I will not describe here all of the exciting specific research activities of the faculty, as I will do that next time in a special issue of the newsletter, but I invite you instead to check out our various faculty websites (http://www.nd.edu/~anthro/faculty.html) , as well as the strategic plan which outlines our expertise and various research projects (http://www.nd.edu/~anthro/Anth_June02.pdf) It is sad for us that Professor DaMatta will be with us only through the end of this year, though he will be visiting campus and be associated with us in several different ways in the years ahead. Those of you who know Professor DaMatta probably understand that he will continue to be involved in his research and writing, just as passionately and as effectively as ever, if not more so; and while he will still be linked to the department through a series on on-going programs in anthropology and one with the Department of Romance Languages, his humor, warmth and intellectual vitality that we enjoy so much on a daily basis will be greatly missed. We will miss his daily presence greatly and that of his wonderful wife, Celeste, a good friend to all of us.

Hamill & Marchant: Teaching And Computers In The Anthropology Classroom In introductory level anthropology classes, traditional teaching format We are interested in teaching anthropology, not computers, so effective use of http://horizon.unc.edu/projects/monograph/CD/Social_Sciences/Hamill.asp
Extractions: In this chapter we explore the potential value of the personal computer in enhancing teaching and learning in the field of anthropology. Little has been done to explore how technology can be put to most effective use in bringing exploratory and experimental modes of learning to the anthropology classroom. We review available software that may have teaching applications, and we describe strategies for using personal computers in teaching anthropology. We collected effectiveness data from our efforts to apply these strategies in various stages over a 3-year period. We found that personal computers helped some students because they stimulated exploration and experimentation, but for others the computer became the focus of the learning experience. The personal computer, like technological innovations that preceded it, can enhance classroom activities, expand course content, and modify classroom environments. The recent generation of small and inexpensive personal computers is "friendly" enough for faculty to use them in some aspect of teaching, but is not necessarily satisfactory as a substitute for other class information technologies. Teachers may find it more helpful to continue to use overhead projectors and chalk boards to display important information they have organized beforehand. It may not need to be an either-or choice between older methods and newer technology.
Extractions: Tucson, Arizona "Funds of Knowledge for Teaching" (FKT) is a project of the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology (BARA) and the College of Education at the University of Arizona. Researchers there use the term "funds of knowledge" to describe the information, methods of thinking and learning, and practical skills related to a community's everyday life. At the core of this concept is a notion of culture as a dynamic entitynot simply a collection of foods, clothes, and holidays, but a way of using social, physical, spiritual, and economic resources to make one's way in the world. In FKT, anthropologists, teacher educators, and teachers learn about the funds of knowledge possessed by students and their families in order to gain insight about connections among ordinary curricular goals and students' experience in the community. Together they devise new academic materials, strategies, and activities that build more sturdily on what students know and can do outside of school. FKT is part of a broader anthropological research project that is attempting to map the funds of knowledge in several Native-American, Mexican-American and African-American communities. Topics developed in the larger project focus on basic anthropological concerns, such as community infrastructure, family economy, workforce participation, and language planning.
