Research
Paper:
A ten-page research paper on a mutually acceptable topic will be
due at the end of the spring term (May). Topics should pertain to
the themes of the course. Students are expected to decide on their
paper topics and hand in a preliminary bibliography by the end of
the Winter Term. The paper will count for 40% of
the final grade for MFSP 508. |
Instructional
Format:
The instructional format will be lecture with slide show/power point
presentations. Many of the classes will include a significant amount
of in-class laboratory time for learning human osteology and the
techniques of determining the “demographic profile”
of undocumented human skeletal remains. Since access to the skeletal
materials will be limited, attendance and punctuality will be very
important. |
