Los Angeles Harbor College Anthropology 101 Spring 2018 Los Angeles Harbor College Anthropology 101 Spring 2018 - Human Biological Evolution Section 19619 (Canvas) February 5 – June 4, 2018 Dr. Sasha David [email protected] Office Hours: Monday through Thursday 7:30 – 8 AM & by appointment Office Phone and Location: (310) 233-4577; NEA 185 Los Angeles Harbor College Mission Statement Los Angeles Harbor College promotes access and student success through associate and transfer degrees, certificates, economic and workforce development, and basic skills instruction. Our educational programs and support services meet the needs of diverse communities as measured by campus institutional learning outcomes. Course Description Introduction to the anthropological study of human evolution. Topics include the mechanisms of evolutionary change, genetics, human variation, and the reconstruction of human evolutionary history through an examination of the fossil record and through the use of comparative studies of our closest biological relatives, the living monkeys and apes. Student Learning Outcomes: 1. Describe the evolutionary lineage that led to Homo sapiens, using the following species as points of reference: Australopiths, Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, Homo heidelbergensis, and Homo neandertalensis. 2. Describe the anatomical traits necessary for bipedalism and explain the significance of the Laetoli footprints. 3. Describe Darwin’s theory of natural selection and elaborate upon the scientific influences that shaped this theory. 1 | P a g e 4. Describe why race is both an unsound scientific category, and a valid category of social experience. Describe scientifically sound factors that cause human variation. 5. Apply the Punnett Square methodology in order to predict genetic outcomes. 6. Describe the traits that make primates unique among Class Mammalia and the differences that distinguish between haplorhines and strepsirrhines. Assigned readings for the course: Larsen, Clark Spencer. Our Origins (4th ed.). New York: Norton. ISBN: 978-0-393-61400-8 [Please note – ONLY the fourth edition is acceptable for this class.] This book is available at the bookstore and on reserve at the Harbor College library – make sure to request the textbook for Anthro 101 with Dr. David from the librarian. You can borrow it for two hours at a time. Course Overview: This class consists of three types of activities, which are described in this syllabus and outlined below: 1.) You will read and study the modules that are posted, which consist of lecture notes and PowerPoints. 2.) You will read from the assigned textbook chapters and take reading quizzes to assess your mastery of the material. 3.) You will take a midterm and final exam that only cover the modules, including the lecture notes and PowerPoints that are posted. These exams do not cover the textbook reading. Timeframe for the Course: This class follows an adaptive format schedule. That means that all materials for the class, including the quizzes and exams, are available to you from the very beginning until the very end of the class (from Monday, February 5, 2018 through 11:59 PM on Monday, June 4, 2018). Therefore, the only time rule is that everything, including the exams and the quizzes, needs to be complete and submitted by the last day of the class. I do this because I realize you are probably taking an online class since you have many other commitments, such as your job, family, etc. However, I would not recommend leaving everything for the last minute. Life is unpredictable and things could come up for you at the last minute, which prevent you from completing the course, if you’ve left all your work for the last weekend. No assignments will be accepted after 11:59 PM on Monday, June 4, 2018. Though the timeframe of this class is open-ended, please note that you need to log into the Canvas class website on or before Thursday, February 8, 2018, in order to not be dropped from the class. 2 | P a g e MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS CLASS: Modules: The modules consist of lecture notes and PowerPoints that cover topics essential to biological anthropology. If you have any questions at all about the modules, please do not hesitate to ask me. There is no such thing as a “dumb question” in this class. I can’t know what you’re having trouble with, if you don’t let me know. You will find that there are various discussion and essay questions embedded into the PowerPoints; these are intended to get you thinking more about the class material, but you do not need to submit them to me. Reading Quizzes: The reading quizzes test you on the assigned textbook reading. They are timed and you only receive one try. You have 10 minutes to complete each test. No resubmissions are allowed, regardless of circumstance. Each quiz consists of five True/False questions. When studying for the quizzes, make sure to learn the boldface terms, including those in the captions and diagrams, though some of the quizzes may cover more than that. Quiz answers will not be revealed at the end in order to prevent academic dishonesty. There are 14 quizzes, and each one covers a separate chapter in your textbook. Midterm and Final Exams: The exams for this class only cover the modules, including the lecture notes and PowerPoints. They are timed and you only receive one try. You have 60 minutes to complete each test and no resubmissions will be allowed, regardless of circumstance. Each exam consists of 30 multiple choice questions. Make sure you have studied the modules in depth and the Midterm and Final Exam review sheets (which can be found under the “Files” tab) before beginning the exams. Exam answers will not be revealed at the end in order to prevent academic dishonesty. The Midterm covers Modules 1-6 and the Final is cumulative. Grading for the class: There are 130 possible points in this class. Each question on each quiz and exam is worth one point out of those 130 points. The reading quizzes are each worth 5 possible points and there are 14 of them, so that makes 70 possible points total that you can earn from the quizzes. The midterm is worth 30 points and the final exam is worth 30 points. Here is the grade breakdown translated into percentages: Reading Quizzes: Each quiz is worth approximately 4% of your final grade; all of the quizzes all together will account for approximately 54% of your final grade. Midterm Exam: Worth approximately 23% of your final grade. Final Exam: Worth approximately 23% of your final grade. 3 | P a g e Extra Credit: One or more extra credit writing assignments will be posted to the class website periodically throughout the Spring term, so make sure to regularly log into the website for these announcements, even if you have finished submitting all the course materials. The method of submission for the extra credit writing assignments will be via email. Five points will be added to your final grade for the class based on successful completion of each extra credit writing assignment. This means that a final grade of 75/C would become 80/B if you successfully complete one writing assignment, and so on. Unlike the other assignments for this course, there will be due dates given for the extra credit writing assignments. In addition, ten points will be added to your final grade for the course based upon successful completion of the course Service Learning. (For example, a final grade of 75/C will become 85/B with the extra credit.) Service Learning is taught by Prof. Lori Minor. Service Learning is a class in which you earn credit for community service work; you develop and carry out any community service project of your own choosing, once it is approved by the Service Learning instructor. Click the “Files” tab on the left-hand side of the class site to find a flyer with the enrollment information for Service Learning. Once you have successfully completed Service Learning, Prof. Minor will notify me with the names of students in my courses who have finished her class, so make sure to let her know that you are enrolled in my class. If you are enrolled in multiple sections with me this semester, let her know each section of mine in which you are enrolled, so that I can apply your extra credit to all of your sections. If you have taken Service Learning during a previous semester, please give email me a copy of your unofficial transcript on or before the last day of class, so I can give you your extra credit for the class. Once again, make sure to let me know if you are enrolled in multiple sections of mine, so I can apply it to all your sections. Final grades: This class will use the traditional numerical values for each letter grade. (A = 90%-100%; B = 80%- 89%; C = 70%-79%; D = 60%-69%; F = 59% or lower.) To calculate where you stand in this class, divide the points you have earned by the total points possible (130 possible points). Add five points to your final grade for each extra credit writing assignment that you have successfully submitted. Please note that extra credit points that you have earned will not appear on your gradebook, but they will be added to the final grade that is officially posted. *** Course Policies: Academic Honesty and Plagiarism Statement: All students are expected to adhere to conventional standards of academic honesty. These standards forbid plagiarism, unlawful copying and, or, failure to give credit to sources that you may use in the 4 | P a g e research and writing of your class work. Cheating and other forms of misconduct are covered under this statement.

  • ANT Anthropology
    College of Arts and Sciences ANT Anthropology ANT 101 WHAT MAKES US HUMAN? INTRO TO ANTHROPOLOGY. (3) This course explores what it means to be human by studying human cultures, past and present. Students will develop an understanding of anthropology that emphasizes the concepts and methods of the major sub-fields, i.e., cultural, biological, archaeology, and linguistics. ANT 102 ARCHAEOLOGY: MYSTERIES AND CONTROVERSIES. (3) Scientific archaeology has a problem: fringe ideas about mysteries of the past attract more interest than scholarly accounts of these same mysteries. In discussing the “mysterious” side of archaeology, this course asks why consideration of the past invites some of the most bizarre speculations about human life. Why do fringe theories about lost civilizations, intergalactic interactions, and mysterious technologies gain more popularity than mainstream theories? Why should serious archaeologists and students pay any attention to such “wacko” ideas? To answer these questions, this course attends to two kinds of controversies: fantastic claims in the past (such as the Myth of the Moundbuilders and the Shroud of Turin) and debates in the present (such as the cultural affiliation of Kennewick Man and uses of archaeology to promote discrimination). ANT 103 SPORTS, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY. (3) From little league baseball to the world of college and professional sports and the numerous ESPN channels that track them, it is clear that sports play a significant role in our culture and society and yet, we often take for granted this significance. This course introduces students to the anthropology of sports through an examination of the rituals, political and economic dimensions, and social and cultural meanings of sports from around the globe in both the past and the present.

    ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY (Div. II) Chair, Professor OLGA SHEVCHENKO Professors: D. EDWARDS, FOIAS*, JACKALL*, JUST, NOLAN. Associate Professor: SHEVCHENKO. Lecturer: GUTSCHOW. Visiting Assistant Professor: KOWALSKI, RULIKOVA, SHOFFSTALL. Affiliated Faculty: GALVIN, HOWE, MANIGAULT-BRYANT. Bolin Fellow: VENA. Postdoctoral Fellow: SULLIVAN. The Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Williams aims to help students achieve an integrated understanding of biography, history, culture, and social structure in both traditional and modern societies. Anthropology explores the full range of human experience by introducing students to the study of tribal and peasant societies, especially those on the periphery of the West, as well as to the cultural complexities of stratified, industrial societies such as our own. Integrated with the study of specific peoples is an examination of the various analytical schemes anthropologists have developed to understand them. Courses offered in the department represent two of Anthropology’s major subfields: sociocultural anthropology—that is, the comparative study of human social life, institutions, and beliefs—and archaeology, the study of the origins and lifeways of prehistoric peoples. Sociology studies the social and institutional intricacies of modern industrial societies and the social psychological dilemmas facing the individual in our epoch. Sociology courses introduce students to classical and contemporary social thought about men and women and society, to the systematic analysis of social institutions and social interaction, and to the social analysis of modern culture. The Sociology major at Williams emphasizes the humanistic tradition of sociology, stressing qualitative approaches to understanding how social reality is constructed. MAJORS The department offers separate majors in both Anthropology and Sociology, with a broad and diverse array of courses in both disciplines.

    LG-46-13-0249-13 IMLS Sparks! Grant Final Report - Mapping Curriculum and Community: Visualizing the Claremont Colleges (2013-14) Submitted 29 October 2014 by Char Booth (Director of Research, Teaching, & Learning Services), Natalie Tagge (Social Sciences Team Leader), Dani Cook (Information Literacy & Learning Technologies Coordinator), Sara Lowe (Assessment Librarian), and Sean Stone (STEM Team Leader). Overview The Claremont Colleges Library (CCL) received a 2013 IMLS Sparks! Ignition Grant to support its 2013-2014 efforts to visualize the interconnected learning communities of its seven institutions. The Visual Curriculum Mapping (VCM) project applied concept mapping software to produce and archive web-based interactive maps of fifty-two academic subjects and their consortial intersections in order to support information literacy (IL) across the curriculum and identify opportunities for community and capacity building at the Claremont Colleges (7Cs). This innovative approach combined visualization and knowledge management strategies to confront a range of information, change, and resource management challenges created by the rapidly shifting landscape of libraries and higher education. Charting our academic landscape created the foundation for an annual bird’s-eye snapshot of how the 7Cs coincide academically, highlighting strategic points for IL and collections intervention across the curriculum and providing our diverse academic communities with a unique means of identifying shared opportunities. Project Activities & Changes The VCM Project consisted of four phases (subdivided into eight tasks) that were implemented between August 1st of 2013 and July 31st of 2014. The below table outlines these phases and tasks, indicating project roles and outlining deliverables. Adjustments to and expansions of project tasks are indicated in the Status column as well as in a bulleted list following the table.

DESCRIPTORS Academic Advising; College Faculty; *College Freshmen; Higher Education; Organizational Change; Program Development; *Student Development; Teacher Role; Teaching Assistants IDENTIFIERS *City University of New York Queens College ABSTRACT This final report describes activities and accomplishments of a 3-year program, the Queens College (New York) Freshman Year Initiative (FYI), which emphasizes the importance of the academic community and the role of faculty in integrating freshmen into the college community. The program has become institutionalized and currently involves 600 freshmen (two-thirds of the 1996 entering class), 24 upper-class teaching assistants, and 60 faculty from 22 departments across all divisions of the college. The major accomplishments are seen to be:(1) creation of a freshman class integrated into the academic and cultural life of the college;(2) involvement of full- and part-time faculty in the common enterprise of teaching freshmen; (3) institutional change that integrates all academic programs and support services affecting freshmen; and (4) a changed ethos that makes teaching freshmen a valued endeavor. Evidence of the program's success include establishment of a new office for the on-going program and formation of a new Provost's Steering Committee on Freshmen.
