Anthropology Course Wiki

After much fiddling, the “Anthropology and the Human Condition” Wiki has now gone live. It is open access for anyone to view. In order to contribute, edit content and post comments to the discussion threads, it is necessary to join as a member. It is primarily meant for students in SC2218: Anthropology and the Human Condition (a course in the Department of Sociology at NUS. But others are welcome to join, comment and contribute (constructively, please!!). The site is found at: http://sc2218.wetpaint.com/

All students in SC2218 are required to join (and contribute to) the Wiki. Details about this can be found at the Wiki website.

Well, I haven’t signed up and gone to look just yet, so if its answered there just tell me to shut up and go look. But…..I wonder if you have a grading philosophy for it, yet?

I think the trickiest part of any collaborative educational effort is figuring out how to assign grades, that is, how to hold an individual responsible for the efforts of the group. I am stuck on that one, myself, at the moment. Any help/thoughts?

Hi Pam… since my reply is rather long (and it is a question that students will surely want answered), it has gone into a new post (Collaborating, Competing and Grades). Socect

About

Socect is the Weblog for Eric C. Thompson.
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore.
Here is a typical example of the ‘biodata’ I send when asked for official academic purposes:

Eric C. Thompson is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore. Before joining NUS, he completed a PhD in sociocultural anthropology at the University of Washington and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, University of California Los Angeles. He teaches anthropology, gender studies, urban studies and research methods. His research interests include transnational networking, urbanism, culture theory, and ASEAN regionalism. His work has appeared in the journals American Ethnologist, Urban Studies, Political Geography, Asian Studies Review, Contemporary Sociology, and Contemporary Southeast Asian Studies among others. He is author of Unsettling Absences: Urbanism in Rural Malaysia (NUS Press, 2007).

Disclaimer: Since (much to my surprise) some people are apparently reading this blog, I should note that the opinions expressed do not represent those of the National University of Singapore nor the Department of Sociology. They do not even necessarily represent the opinions of the blogger, as he changes his mind frequently.
