==Course Description==
===Official Course Description===
"This course examines the major forms of non-industrial societies (including foraging, horticulture, and peasant societies) and the major social and cultural processes that help shape these societies (including kinship and family organization, political economy, religion and ritual practices). Attention is also given to contemporary processes of sociocultural change and to the current relationship between non-industrial societies and the industrialized world."<ref>[http://www.knox.edu/x1753.xml 2006-2007 Course Catalogue]</ref>

It satisfies the [[Foundation Requirements#Courses Meeting the History and Social Sciences Requirement|History and Social Sciences]] Foundation Requirement and the [[Competency Requirements#Understanding Diversity Requirement|Understanding Diversity]] Competency Requirement.

===Course Format===
====For sections taught by [[Nancy Eberhardt]]====
The course is primarily lecture and class discussion of the readings, including the texts and materials on [[reserve]]. There is a significant amount of groupwork, including for the term paper, in which groups are expected to attend a ritual such as a sports game or religious service, and then write an ethnographic [[group paper]] on the ritual. There is also an essay final.

==Course Schedule==
The course is offered on an erratic schedule. In [[2004-2005]] it was offered all three terms; in [[2005-2006]] Fall and Winter terms; in [[2006-2007]] (due to Nancy Eberhardt's leave) not at all; and in [[2007-2008]] Winter and Spring terms. Beginning in the [[2006-2007]] school year, additional 100-level ANSO courses ([[ANSO 104]], [[ANSO 105]], and [[ANSO 106]]) were offered, relieving some pressure on [[ANSO 102]]. It is typically taught on a MWF schedule.

==Reviews==
The group paper is an unpleasant experience, but the class is a good introduction for anyone without background in ethnography. ''-Taken with [[Nancy Eberhardt]] in [[Fall Term 2004]]''
