Course Requirements
This course is an introduction to anthropology, and students are expected to attend all classes, do the readings, and ask questions and discuss the implications of the issues in the classroom. Lectures will not duplicate the readings, but will provide theoretical background, context, and critique of the readings. Films will be shown regularly throughout the course and are an important component of the course.
Response papers: Each student will write five (5) response papers, no more than two pages and double-spaced. Response papers are worth 10% of the final grade. I will say more about response papers in class, but in general they are individually ungraded and require only timely submission for full credit. LATE RESPONSE PAPERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Examinations: There will be two in-class examinations, each worth 20% (for a total of 40%) of the final grade. There will be an in-class final examination worth 35% of the final grade.
Class Participation: Participation in classroom discussions is worth 15% of the final grade. Active participation requires that each student come to class prepared, having read the assigned material before class.
