Comps as Rite of Passage | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/comps-as-rite-of-passage
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. March 14, 2013. Comps as Rite of Passage. I was planning on writing a follow up to my last post on comps* preparation tips. But there was really one one thing I wanted to say:. Try not to stress out. Maidenhood Ceremony, my favorite rite of passage yet. You can’t ever really be prepared. Some challenges aren’t that meaningful. The rite is actually for me. Even though other people are participating, helping, guiding, and ultimately judging me, the point is creating a ri...

Opal is for Outlining | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/opal-is-for-outlining
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. August 23, 2012. Opal is for Outlining. I am a software evangelist. I admit it. I get super excited when I find something that works for me and become convinced that the life of almost everyone I know could be improved if they adopted the same thing. For that reason, I expect that this post on software will be only the second of many. This is a huge step up from just writing in a text file or a word document. A reading break from reading for anthropologists. You are co...

Online Discussion Pedagogy | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/online-discussion-pedagogy
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. July 8, 2014. Thoughtful Discussion on the Internet. The reason I hate them is because I actually think that students CAN get something out of online discussions, but only if teachers stop thinking that the genre accomplishes the same goals as face to face conversation or even open-ended online discussion boards. And that’s not possible if you’re using the space as an easy place to post short answers worksheets. Most non-school online discussion boards have more lurker...

Dungeons and Dragons in the Present Continuous | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/dungeons-and-dragons-in-the-present-continuous
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. May 22, 2015. Dungeons and Dragons in the Present Continuous. But let me backtrack a little. If you’ve read my blog before you might be asking yourself, did Samgrace quit anthropology? What is this English class nonsense she’s talking about? Warriors can choose two of the following:. Steel Jacket (extra protection against terrible monsters). Lightning Pants (incredible speed in running and dodging). Warm Socks (magical protection against the cold). Solar Bracelet (a ma...

Grant-Writing Diary: an old school productivity app | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/grant-writing-diary-an-old-school-productivity-app
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. January 30, 2014. Grant-Writing Diary: an old school productivity app. There are a million apps out there to help keep you motivated and on track. To-do list managers like Wunderlist. To visualize what you need to do, and note-takers like Evernote. And throughout the day, whenever my inspiration flagged, I’d keep looking over at my day’s entry and know that I wasn’t working alone. It’s like the main conceit in Inkheart. In my dorky head, this is like the Stardate in th...

Scrivener: a grad student review | Sam Grace
https://samanthalgrace.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/scrivener-a-grad-student-review
Talks to imaginary anthropologists. January 21, 2014. Scrivener: a grad student review. I made this from my NSF DDIG application! I just submitted an application to the NSF DDIG*. It’s a big grant and a big deal and getting it in makes me a very happy camper. I had already done a lot of writing for it in Word, which is where I had done all my grant writing previously. But I was feeling a definite need for a Fresh Start, and so I downloaded a trial version of Scrivener. The biggest disadvantages I have ru...
