Teaching Laboratory Anthropology provides hands-on teaching experience under the direction of a faculty member in a laboratory setting. The course includes training in the laboratory skills to be taught, data analysis training, training in teaching methods, and training in scientific paper and grant writing. This course is primarily designed to work with Anthropology Freshman Research Immersion (FRI) courses, but could be used in other anthropology lab classes. FRI classes consist of 5-6 groups of 5-6 students each. Each group works on a different project. Graduate students taking the Teaching Laboratory Anthropology class would work directly with one or more of these groups, assisting in training in lab methods, assisting in lecture, one-on-one mentoring and training with individuals, analyzing data, and turning research into publishable papers or grant proposals. and spring.
