We discuss the relevance of anthropological work in today\u2019s world, looking at themes like sustainability, disaster, community and family, and more. Studying anthropology helps students to develop cultural adeptness, critical thinking, and strong communication skills. Additionally, within this course, students will become familiar with much of the technology used at UVic, including CourseSpaces, Summon, i&gt;clickers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_testimonial admin_label=&#8221;Testimonial&#8221; author=&#8221;Cam Harris&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; quote_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; use_background_color=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Anthropology 100 was one of the most enjoyable courses I took at UVic.
