Questions

Q: During the CultureQuest project experience how did it help enhance:

1. The study of culture?
A: I am fairly new to using computer technology, so most of my studying inthe past has been the 'old fashioned' way.....libraries and textbooks. Doing this CultureQuest project has enhanced my skills on using the internet for research. There is so much more available to the student in their studies when the world-wide web is at their fingertips. I have really learned how to make use of the information that is out there.

2.Project-based learning?
A: I have done most of my past studies as a single, alone student, and have not done much work in a group doing projects. This has been a very useful activity for me, both for working with others in a group and for having the goal of a fixed project. It is really a simulation of a real-life work situation, because in most fields of business and work, employees are put in situations where they have to perform group projects. None of my other graduate classes here at school gave us the opportunity to work in groups.

3. Integration of technology?
A: I have learned much in the area of technology, again because I have used very little computer in the past and most of it was self-taught, not knowing even some of the basics. It has been very exciting to gain more knowledge of what the computer can do and to do this hands-on approach. It has really forced me to learn quickly and see that it isn't as hard as I thought. I learned techniques in doing this CultureQuest that I would not have if we just wrote papers and did more traditional projects.
