A list of topics appears on the reverse side of this sheet. The labs are designed to provide hands-on experience with the subject matter discussed in lecture. In lab, you will be handling objects that are fragile and expensive, so we ask that you treat them with care and respect. Please do not bring food or drink into the lab. Most of the labs incorporate an active learning component which stresses collaboration with other students. You should be prepared to engage in both individual and group work (note: this does not mean that identical written assignments can be handed in by two people. Each individual must hand in their own individual work-product. Students handing in identical written assignments would be in violation of CLA's policy against plagiarism). All lab exercises and assignments are contained in the Anthropology 1101: Human Origins Lab Manual which is available in Williamson Bookstore. Assignments All assignments will be discussed in lab. Due dates for quizzes, worksheets and written assignments are provided on the reverse side of this sheet. Unless otherwise stated, assignments are due at the beginning of your lab section meeting. Written assignments/essays must be typed and double-spaced using a standard 12 point font (i.e. Courier, Prestige, Times New Roman) and one inch margins. Five points will automatically be deducted from assignments turned in late. Once assignments have been returned, late assignments will not be accepted. Every effort will be made to return your assignments one week after their due date. Missed quizzes cannot be made up except in the case of extenuating circumstances. In the event of illness, emergency, etc., you should notify your TA or the instructor on or before the day of your absence. You must supply written verification of your circumstances in order to make up the work. Miscellaneous For issues not specifically addressed in this syllabus, follow the guidelines in the CLA handbook. Both new and old students may want to review the CLA policy on academic misconduct and plagiarism. Students with any special needs or concerns are encouraged to speak with their TA as soon as possible.
