Hi


First......I know nothing about Medical Anthro....but here goes anyways

My question is what kind of things do ³you² read when confronted with
preparing to help someone informed from a cultural anthro perspective



...²The words I used to describe this are²...².which word do you use?"

I like to thinks about it this way....how does your culture approach the
issues?


The readings could actually/maybe be about technique stuff.....active
listening, affective questioning (meant to write effective....but what not
affective), critical appraisal, facilitation techniques, speaking....then
the RAP really would be about the tools to begin problem-solving....not the
introduction to content to begin problem solving??


My two cents

Subject: TBL in cultural anthropology courses?

I am writing to seek advice from folks who have used TBL in introductory
medical anthropology or other cultural anthro courses. As I redesign my
lecture-discussion course to incorporate TBL, I am having trouble
conceptualizing readiness assessment activities, particularly for the
ethnographic material we will use to support the theoretical material. I am
also having to balance these concerns with the specific challenges of course
logistics (it's a study abroad course that requires that students and
faculty to travel to multiple countries and conduct case study
investigations). That said, I do think that TBL sounds like the perfect
approach for this type of course because students are already required to
work together on case study assignments, and I have heard from others who
have taught this course in the past that students often have difficulty
keeping up with the reading and processing material because of the
peripatetic nature of the course. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.

Adia
