Brian Fagan. 2005. Ancient
Course Objectives: To examine Native American culture
history in the northeast woodlands, from the earliest settlement of the region
to the arrival of Europeans. The emphasis will be on changing adaptations and
the causes and consequences of these changes.
Liberal Education Learning Goals: This course addresses the following
learning goals: knowledge
of human culture and the natural world and respect for diversity among people. Materials which
can be saved to document work toward these goals are examinations and class
notes.
Attendance Policy: In accordance with university policy,
attendance is taken. Although there are no penalties for nonattendance, this
course is structured in such a way that much of the information is passed on
through lectures, videos, and slides. It is difficult to obtain this
information without attending class.
Grading:
The course grade will be determined on the basis of three exams, each of which
is worth 40 points. If you miss one of the first two exams, and your excuse is
considered valid by me, you will be permitted to make up that exam on Dec. 14.
If you have already taken the first two exams, you do not have to attend on
that day. The following point totals will be used to assign the final course
grade:
|
110-120=A 108-109=A- 105-107=B+ 98-104=B 96-97=B- 93-95=C+ |
84-92=C 81-83=C- 79-80=D+ 74-78=D 72-73=D- 0-71=F |
Services for Students with Disabilities: Any student who has
a disability and is in need of classroom accommodations, please contact me and
the Services for Students with Disabilities Office in Old Library 2136 at the
beginning of the semester.
