ANTH 206 Cultural Anthropology

Grades

Everyone starts out with a 4.0 in this class. It is up to you whether or not you keep your 4.0. You are responsible for your own learning and for improving your learning and self-assessment skills. My feedback will focus on identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your work and helping you to identify areas for improvement. I view learning as a collaborative process and encourage you to contact me if you have concerns about your standing in the class.
