Background:
In Module 1, you were asked two questions:
What is Anthropology? and What is Civic Engagement (and what does it have to do with this class)? (attached PDFs)
Your final required assignment for this class is an “Engaged Anthropology” exercise, which will offer you an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of anthropology and civic engagement, and maybe have a little fun in the process.
Prompt:
Out of all the Modules you engaged in over the course of the semester (some of them are attached), which one most influenced you in a way that significantly changed your ideas or actions (or both) and why?
How did that process unfold?
How did you apply anthropological terms, concepts or analytical themes?
What was the impact and/or outcome in terms of civic engagement?
In order to think deeply about the course components, you might want to first refresh your memory by reviewing the Module themes and glancing over your Discussion and Critical Reflection/Response.
Deliverable:
Your response will be presented in the form of a written essay of about 500-words, following the rubric below and keeping with the formal collegiate writing style as your Critical Reflection/Response.
The requirements for the essay, in addition to the grading rubric below, are to carefully and conscientiously prepare your response to the prompt.

Take some time to check out some examples of how anthropologists are putting their knowledge, skills and passion to work. While these are optional activities, I hope you’ll find some inspiration for your own future anthropological endeavors.
