Incompletes

It's usually a good idea at the beginning of each course to read the official "Course Description" and have a look at the "Course Objectives and Outcomes."

A course may be exactly what you are looking for, or it may not. If it is not, it's a good idea to figure that out as soon as possible, and in time to find the course you might really be looking for.

So take a minute to have a look at the "official" UM items below.

In the Week 1 materials we'll have a little more informal look at what the course is all about.

And you can have a look at the course "Resources" available to the class for a bird's-eye view of the semester's topics and reading, video, and assignment schedules.

Another thing you might do is have a preview look at the course calendar, General Information WebPage, and Requirements Summary on the regular UM Web:

You might also get a good idea of the subject matter of the course by visiting the links to WebSites Related to Culture and Personality page at <http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/troufs/anth4616/cpweb.html#title>.

And, as always, if you have questions ask—either myself, or your classmates via the "General Student Discussion" area.

AVISO: Unexcused Late Assignments and Extra Credit Papers receive no credit
Pleas for exceptions will fall on deaf ears

If you really want to know the details of why that is so, have a look at the memo below that I recently sent to a student. The details change from semester to semester, but the basic scheduling problems remain the same. . . . It's basically a boring read, but important none the same--especially if you're the procrastinating type. -- Tim Roufs
