2. 将部门学习目标映射到Bryn Mawr学习成果

• 写作技巧
  • 除了例外，e.g. 在新生研讨会上, the requirements for Professor Donohue’s courses meet or exceed the requirements for “写作 attentive” courses; field- specific guidelines for preparing and 写作 research papers are given to the class
  • 有准备研究提案和预算的经验(研究生要求)
  • 有撰写学术简历的经验
  • An understanding of the different 方法 of effectively presenting and debating research topics and material culture in written form
  • All classes taught have involved some form of written paper whether in terms of a short opinion piece or blog, 论文:论文或冗长的研究论文
  • 有准备发表论文的经验.g. 期刊文章风格(研究生水平)
     
• 研究技能
  • 除了多诺霍教授的新生研讨会, 她所有的课程都要求至少有一个研究项目. 课程大纲提供特定学科的研究材料参考书目, 研究论文的特定领域指南也会发给全班.
  • All of Professor Bradbury’s classes taught have had an element of research in terms of carrying out independent research on a specific topic, 考古遗址:特定的考古遗址或地区.
    例如, students in Professor Bradbury’s senior seminar have been carrying out research about a particular site in the MENA region, 探索这个网站是如何被记录的, presented and protected with a view to developing a management plan for the future presentation and protection for this site. 与此形成鲜明对比的是, students in Professor Bradbury’s 200/300 level classes have carried out research projects on their chosen subject-topics ranged from the role of witchcraft in ancient Mesopotamia to the use of monumental architecture and light at Babylon.
  • Students in Professor Bradbury’s 100 level class will be carrying out a research project based on an archaeological artefact from Egypt or the Near East and will present a short written critical analysis on the history of excavations (i.e. 物体是在哪里被发现的，是谁发现的等等.)，以及对该遗址/人工制品的不同解释.
  • Classes involving independent research projects have involved the preparation of a research bibliography, 一份研究计划和论文草稿以及一份最终研究论文. These have involved the consultation and analysis of both primary excavation and survey reports and synthetic volumes.
     
• 口头沟通能力
  • Most of Professor Donohue’s courses require students to deliver an oral report on the subject of their major paper, as well as to participate in class discussion as appropriate to the nature of the course (seminar-style or lecture courses).
  • Professor Bradbury’s classes offer an understanding of the different 方法 of effectively presenting and debating research topics and material culture.
  • All of Professor Bradbury’s classes taught have involved some type of oral presentation ranging from the presentation of a selected research topic (upper level classes) to the summary of a weekly reading (100-200 level classes).
     
• 批判性思维能力:
  • Students are discouraged from parroting received opinions and are asked instead to evaluate existing interpretations and begin to form their own.
     
• 定量的能力
  • 不是现在，而是将来的计划/可能性.
     
• 能够从多个角度看待问题.
  • Professor Bradbury’s classes offer particular focus on the different 方法 in which to interpret, 为学术界和公众展示和保护遗产和考古 公共.
  • Professor Bradbury’s classes emphasize that all archaeological evidence can be interpreted in multiple 方法 而且总是呈现出多种观点和解释.
  • Professor Bradbury’s classes offer important ongoing debates in archaeology which involve multiple 视角 我们已经讨论过了，包括遣返.
  • A lot of my Professor Bradbury’s work and teaching also engages with how to make archaeological narratives accessible to disenfranchised groups, 主要语言不是英语的国家也可以使用.
  • 课程 address history of scholarship on subject; research papers deal with the same.
