Hello, all.
Monday, February 2, is the end of the 2nd week of the semester. That day
has implications for students. I would be grateful if you could take a
minute out of your courses to remind students of the following. All take
effect on Feb 2.
Thank you,
Jerry
1. Last day to add courses.
2. Last day to use permission numbers.
3. Last day to withdraw from a course with a W appearing on the transcript.
4. Last day to change a grading option.
5. Last day to apply for a degree.
These and other reminders are explained on the CLA SAAC web page at:
http://www.d.umn.edu/~clasa/main/index.php
Finally, as you are thinking about the end of the second week, please be
reminded that under no circumstances should you allow a non-registered
student to remain in your class. Each semester we receive petitions from
students to add classes long after the end of the second week, in some
cases as late as the 14th week. Please know that in almost every case I
deny these petitions. |

- but feel free to use the forum for messages in general
- for example, in addition to the ten or more "official" topics you might find it useful to use the forum when preparing for the midterm and final exams
- At the end of the semester you will also be asked to evaluate the course on the CPforum, indicating the three things you liked best and the three things you liked least about the course
- end-of-the-semester postings must be completed by the
scheduled final exam time
- Other timely topics may be added during the semester as appropriate
- 30 points (2% of final grade) + 10 points for each special topic posting

-
culture: as a primary concept
- learned
- shared
- transmitted from generation to generation
- symbolic
- integrated
-
comparative methods: as major approaches to the study of human behavior development and structure
-
holism: or the study of "humankind" as a whole, as a primary goal of anthropology
-
The approach used in this class emphasizes the "holistic" anthropological view which combines observations of "culture" and behavior with considerations of the physical and developmental aspects of humans.
