Thread:Comments on course outline (2)

I don't usually lecture on the other sub-disciplines mainly because it's always seemed ridiculous to me to cover that in every single anthropology class--it always seems rather redundant and tedious, but I'm not necessarily against adding it since I know many people do cover it.

Careers in anthropology --good suggestion; I've only done it anecdotally in the past. Applied anth is covered through the C&C readings.

I like the suggestions for the language section; One thing that is not noted in the syllabus is in class activities which can be used to cover such things as language and gender, social status, etc.

Race is covered in C&C readings.

Many of the things in the methodology section are covered in C&C readings; what specifically are you referring to when you say "digital anth"?

I usually cover social groups in the first unit when I talk about sub-cultures. Social stratification is brought into the mix during both the subsistence, economy and political organization sections. I've never done it as a separate topic.

Based on time constraints, I dropped expressive culture. I mention it when we first talk about social institutions, but simply tell students that we don't have time to cover it all in 11 weeks. Happy to add a section in, although I think I'll add it as optional.
