Student Final Projects
June 9, 2009
Students in my Intro to Religious Studies course turned in their final projects over the weekend. They created a visual essay that commented on a system of symbols (in the Clifford Geertz sense). They could focus on a single religious tradition, an event or place, or develop a comparison across religious traditions. As usual when I leave the assignment open like this, I was amazed at some of the projects. Conveniently some of these projects also can be re-posted by me. Here are some samples:
1. Consumer Culture and Religion
(You should flip through this manually since the time between the slides is 0.)
2. What Is a Church? Pilgrim UCC
3. The Lion of Judah
4. Student Interview
5. Sikh Faith
Those are just the projects that are self-contained on Slideshare.com or YouTube. A number of the Blog posts themselves are outstanding. I would recommend checking out the following:
Navajo - Culture and/or Religion
