Course Title: Cultural Anthropology
Description:
This course will focus on the non-biological reasons why societies form and change. Topics covered will include food production, art, magic, government, population patterns, and many others. The reasons behind the development of major world religions, including Catholicism, will be emphasized. This course will discuss many different ancient civilizations as case studies for societal change. This course will also use real life examples to illustrate societal changes as well.
Activities and assessments in this course will include group discussion, essay writing, reading, and scenario evaluation. A strong emphasis will be placed on creative thinking and problem solving.
My goal for this course is to teach it as if it were a college course. A large emphasis will be placed on reading and on research. In preparation for the students further education, the skills necessary to write a strong research paper will be covered, including style, form, presentation, and research methods.
