This quarter's Lab Syllabus is specific and controls the lab policies.
This web page contains general information.
Lab Section
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 reverse
side of this sheet. The labs are designed to give you 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 you to treat them with care
and respect.
Many 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. (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.)
Lab exercises are contained in the ANTH 1101 Lab Manual which is
available in Williamson Bookstore.
Please do not bring food or drink into the lab.
Assignments
Please read this quarter's lab syllabus for the current policies on
turning in assignments. The policies and dates contained therein take
precedence over this general information web page.
All assignments will be discussed in lab. Due dates for quizzes and
written assignments are provided on the reverse side of this sheet. 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 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. Five points will be subtracted for
each day that an assignment is late. Once assignments have been returned to
you, late assignments will not be accepted.
Miscellaneous
For issues not specifically addressed in this syllabus, follow the
guidelines in the CLA handbook. Both new and old students should review the
CLA policy on academic misconduct and plagiarism, as well as read the
plagiarism handout carefully. Students with any special needs or concerns
are encouraged to speak with their TA as soon as possible.
