Grading:
A = Student turns in outstanding tests and review paper, on time; is deeply involved in discussions on a regular basis, and makes incisive contributions (Eg. Isn?t it significant that military men such as Pitt-Rivers and R.E.M. Wheeler, made very significant contributions to the practice of field archaeology. Was this an analogical extension of their military training?, rather than, How old was Pitt-Rivers when he died?); is obviously prepared for class and always has readings completed; attends all or almost all classes.
B = Student turns in fairly good tests and review on time; participates routinely in class discussions and has obviously read the texts; attends almost all classes.
