It seemsunfair to see thelovely labs/offices ofBio, Sloan, and Archstudents, while wemust fight for adesk.Lack of funding otherthan TAships, whichare very timeconsuming.I very much value the first 4-5times I TAed, and consider it tobe an essential part of myeducation/training. The next 6-7times were not useful beyondthe funding involved. Thoughmy experience In being a TA islimited to our department, I thinkthat we do a very nice jobtraining TAs and involving themin the teaching process.Conflict with committee chair isthe most common reason,though poor academicperformance and life changes(like having a baby) are otherreasons. I'm not aware ofanyone dropping the programdue to lack of funding, which issomething the departmentshould be proud of.but focused onexploring thesameanthropologicaltopics fromdifferent angles. Ifthe atmospherewere different, Ilikely would havecontinued withmore courses inBio Anth.Extremely high.Most of thegraduatestudents seem tobe convinced, atleast during thefirst years, thatthey are,surrounded bypeople that aresmarter than theyare. For many ofus, this is bothhumbling andmotivating, andit's a great feelingthat you aresurrounded bysharp minds whoare interested inhelping youimprove yourresearch.I thought that the degreerequirements were fine.The department does not go farenough in encouraging/emiblingstudents to publish their work.Finishing the PhD with severaltop-notch publications in hand isessential to getting a goodacademic job, and ourdepartment clearly favorsfinishing quickly over finishingwith an impressive CV. Thearchaeologist that we are likely tohire in the Fall had a huge list ofpublications, despite the fact thathe had not yet filed hisdissertation: This is directlyrelated to the fact that he took 11years to finish his degree.Seems like a smart trade-off tome, considering that he got thejob. Finishing in 6 years with nopUblications is not a goal that weshould embrace. This person'sdepartment (ASU) activelyencouraged (required?) the useof seminar papers as thebeginnings of publications.While this is harder in a 10-weekquarter, we should definitely dosomething similar here.Wednesday, May 02,2007 Anthropology, Open-Ended Comments.
