Course Description: A survey of human evolution and
human variation through the study of primates, human heredity, variability of
modern populations, and the fossil record of our early human ancestors.
‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚
Course Requirements: You are responsible for weekly
on-line lectures. Each lecture will be posted for a week, and you are required
to log-on and view the lecture during the scheduled week, as it will not be
posted again if you miss it. You are also required to participate in weekly on-line
discussions.
‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚
Academic Honesty: Plagiarism (the unauthorized use of the language and/or thoughts of another author
and the representation of them as ones own) and cheating (to take an examination or complete an
assignment in a dishonest way, as by having improper access to answers)
constitute violations of academic honesty, whether perpetrated actively or
passively. All violations and suspected violations of academic honesty will
result in action taken against the parties involved. Sanctions may include no-credit on the
assignment in question, course failure, or formal charges of student
misconduct.
‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚
Exams: There will be a midterm and a final
exam. They will be made up of essay
questions and will be based on the text and the lectures. Due to the structure
of our on-line class, there will be
no make-up exams!
‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚
Projects: There are 2 projects that
correspond with course topics/discussions.
‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚

straight percentage of the total possible cumulative points (600) 150 points
possible for each exam, 100 points possible for each project, and 100 points
possible for participation in on-line discussions. There is no class curve!
