Test 1 Make-up
The make up test is on January 26, 4-5 p.m. The location is EX 300 (see the U of T map). Only students who have contacted their TA and who bring documentation to class (as outlined on the extensions web page and pre-arranged with the TA) will be allowed to write the make-up test.
There will not be a make-up of the make-up test. If for whatever reason (including reasons that would get you an extension from the original test) you miss the make-up, you will not be able to write this test during the regular 2011-12 term. If you must miss the make-up for a valid reason, you will have to petitition the Faculty of Arts and Science for a course extension. If approved, you would then be writing this test in the summer or next year.
Avoid Plagiarism
We have very detailed notes on plagiarism. We explained "disguised copying" as plagiarism in class, and told you that citing the plagiarized passage does not make it any less plagiarized. Ignorance of the rules will not be taken as an excuse as we strictly pursue all cases of plagiarism.

Chat with a TA
We encourage you to take part in a chat room (for the times, go to "Content" on Blackboard) run by a TA. The chat room is dedicated exclusively to answering questions about the lecture material. Enter the chat room from Blackboard (click on "Content" in the course menu). Log in to Blackboard
Don't Do It!
Do one of these things and you will get a 0 for the assignment or the whole course, or receive even worse punishment from the Office of Academic Integrity: cheat at tests, plagiarize your essays, submit a final essay (Phase Three) without first submitting Phase One and Phase Two by their respective deadline, or never show up in a tutorial.

Welcome to anthropology
The teaching staff is excited about sharing with you the adventure of anthropology, the comprehensive, varied, and integrative study of what it means to be the social animal known as homo sapiens.
Four outstanding lecturers each cover one of four anthropological perspectives. Prof. Shawn Lehman acquaints the class with Biological Anthropology, the study of the evolution and biological diversity of humans and non-human primates. Dr. Christopher Watts teaches archaeology, the study of the material evidence of human activities in the past. Prof. Ivan Kalmar, the course organizer, lectures on Linguistic and Semiotic Anthropology, the study of how people represent the world to themselves and to others through language and other sign systems. Prof. Janice Boddy, the Chair of the Department of Anthropology, presents Social and Cultural Anthropology, the study of the great range of social and cultural organization in societies of varying complexity.
Famous anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson collected thousands of paintings in Bali in the 1930's, many of them made to order. How much does the art made and sold today across Southeast Asia, such as the Balinese work seen above, owe to anthropologists? What effects do anthropologists have on the people they study? In what sense is what they study "real"? read more about Balinese art
