Abstract
Traditionally, anthropology has been configured as a
craft, passed down from teacher to students. Yet at NUI
Maynooth, anthropology is delivered to very large and
diverse classes. What are the implications of this for the
learning the principles of anthropology? This project
sought answers to this question by bringing together
staff in the Department of Anthropology as a team that
also included a graduate student researcher. We set out
with the ambition of using the tools of anthropology
itself to investigate the teaching and learning of
anthropological principles. But we were also concerned
to understand the ways in which students understood
‘evaluations’, the extant systems of module evaluation of
the Department, and possible ways to introduce improved
methods of two-way evaluation.
