General Information on Lab Sections Your Lab Manual for your particular quarter is controlling. This is general information. Each week in lab we will focus on a different theme relating to the lecture component of the course. A list of topics appears on the lab syllabus. 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 and written assignments are provided in the lab manual. Written assignments are due in class on the due date. 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 T.A 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. Written assignments must be typed and double-spaced. Five points will automatically be deducted from written assignments turned in late. Once assignments have been returned, late assignments will not be accepted. Miscellaneous For issues not specifically addressed in the 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 T.A. as soon as possible. A Blank Calendar and the Time
