In my post yesterday, I pointed out that one of my goals in Anthropology 207x is to disseminate a lot of information about human evolution. In addition to disseminating this information, my plan is to also provide an introduction to many of the methods used in paleoanthropology to generate knowledge. Anthropology 207x will include virtual lab module each week that are intended to provide students with basic introductions into not just what we think we know about human evolutionary history, but how and why we think these things.
In all of my introductory teaching, one of my main goals is to teach students how to ask good questions. The same will hold true for 207x.
