End of class reflections

   For my final blog post for this class (and maybe ever?...who knows maybe I'll become a crazy blogger!), I thought I would reflect on my experiences and things learnt from Anth 397. I found the course to be a totally different format than what I've been used to at Uvic. I think this may have been the only class I have ever taken that didn't have exams. When noticed this on the syllabus, I thought sweet, it's gonna be an easy class. :P Turns out that doing projects and weekly reflections is a lot more work than one might think. But because of this, I felt more immersed in the course work than in the majority of my other classes. It was a different experience to work on 2 major group projects in one class; the case study magazine in particular was an interesting project. I liked Erin's goal of having as research a topic and then bring break it down so it would be accessible to the layman/non-academic. All in all, a good experience. :)
