The class members work as a collaborative "consulting team," under Dr. LaLone's direction, to tackle the project and write a consulting report which presents the team's recommendations.

http://www.tmcc.edu/socialsciences/anthro/research.asp

Extractions: TMCC anthropology students participate in a two semester 3 + 3 credit sequence beginning with fundamentals of applied anthropology (ANTH 229) in the fall and para-professional skills in Social Science (ANTH 279) in the Spring. The fall course focuses on a survey of current topics and an intensive examination of a specific research problem; the spring course covers data analysis and research reporting focusing on data collected in the fall. Fall 2000 students examined Native American student retention at TMCC. We collected data through a variety of methods and put together research design and developed strategies, in consultation with the Native American community, which are currently underway. 2001/2002 students researched classroom scheduling, and space allocation at TMCC. They began by interviewing TMCC staff to indentify some of the the policies and belief systems behind access to classroom space in an academic bureacracy. Next then turned their attentiton to establishing a much needed room contents inventory data base. Their initial research served as the core of a subsequent institutional space utilization study that has received wide praise throughout the UCCSN system. Students pursuing a degree or certificate in applied anthropology are required to take these courses, but any student who has taken an introductory social science course and is interested in making a contribution to the proposed project is encouraged to register.
