STUDY EACH WEEK'S ASSIGNMENTS
The primary course content comes from the readings. The videotape programs are intended to emphasize and illustrate the reading material. You are tested on information from both the textbook readings and video programs. If, for any reason, you miss watching a video program during the assigned week, you should still keep current with your reading assignments.
Work on the lessons in the following order:
a. Read the Study Guide for each video program before viewing the program. The Study Guide has a special summary termed "Overview." Read this "Overview" very carefully and go over the specific terminology listed under the section "Vocabulary Check."
b. Read the textbook assignments, which are related to the particular video program, under the title, "Before Viewing the Program." You will not read the text in exact sequence, but don't let that bother you.
c. Now watch the video program. Don't take notes while viewing your video program!
d. Briefly review the materials of that particular video program in the Study Guide and Textbook once more. Test yourself with the questions in the "Self-Test" section of the Study Guide.
TV REVIEW MATERIAL FOR EXAMS
There is a review for every test. These are streamlined and can be accessed on the ANTH 2 Catalyst website. They are also broadcast on Cable TV. For dates please refer to the TV schedule below. The instructor reviews the course assignments, and helps you prepare for the examinations. Past experience has shown that students who view the review sessions have a better grasp of the course material and score higher on their exams. Please Note: The videostreamed reviews were taped just before the 12th. edition of Haviland's textbook came out. Even though the material is the same, there is a change in numbering the chapters. In the videostreamed review you are instructed not to read chapter 3 which is on physical anthropology, not related to our course. In the new edition, physical anthropology is shifted to chapter 4. So please do read chapter 3 and ignore chapter 4!
Please Note: To help students prepare for the tests, a set of review notes are designed for each test and are found at the end of this syllabus. It is important to consult these review notes when you prepare for the test, as they are based on test questions.
