Quizzes and Grading

Quizzes and Final

There will be 8 multiple choice quizzes over the course of the semester, worth 15 points each. Your lowest score will be dropped, for a total point value of 105 points for quizzes. Quizzes are taken online and will be available from 7 am to 11 pm for one day only. If you miss a quiz, there will be no make-up, instead, that will be your dropped quiz.  Dates for quizzes are given on the Anth 2010 website Calendar.

The Final (objective and comprehensive) will be taken on the class website.  It will be available during the first two days of Finals Week.

Attendance

Attendance is recorded and, in view of the seminar-nature of the class, skipping more than a couple classes would signify that you have missed significant content and your grade will, inevitably be affected. In other words, you can’t expect to get a good grade if you skip class.

Also note that, without an explanatory letter from Disabled Student Services, no open laptops are permitted in class. Individuals violating this rule will be asked to leave.

Accommodating Disabilities

If a student has a disability that will likely require some accommodation, the student must inform the instructor and provide documentation through the Disability Resource Center. Any requests for special consideration must be discussed with and approved by the instructor during the first week of class. In cooperation with the DRC, course materials can be provided in alternative formats.
