But overall, I feel this is something I still need to work on. As a student, I believe the class is both informative and entertaining. The information is provided in different ways, so it does not become dull or repetitive. The students learn through lectures, readings, discussions, videos, guest speakers and conversation. They are constantly exposed to different perspectives on the same subject, so they are ableto see and hear different views as well as developing their personal viewpoint.
Cultural anthropology is a fascinating subject, but some of the areas are arid and complicated.
I think Dr. Kelsky does a wonderful job making those complicated areas easier to grasp without leaving behind their complexities and contradictions. As a GTF attending lectures, I try to be attentive to students' reactions to the material and the manner in which lecture is given. The majority of the students are engaged in the lecture, and are actively participating. Dr. Kelsky moves around the room and this is very positive. She also speaks in a friendly manner.
