Larry J. Zimmerman, PhD, RPA
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

 

Graduate Students Only

You will be going to lecture and doing some activities with the undergraduate, ANTH E-320 students, but expectations for you will be different. You share an OnCourse site but we will  set up a forum(s) for your own discussion and you will have separate weekly meetings  with Dr. Zimmerman to discuss readings, especially the Companion to the Anthropology of American Indians, edited by Thomas Biolsi. Pay attention to this web page and the OnCourse site for issues and resources that pertain to your work for the class.

You will also be in charge of coordinating undergraduate groups for the YouTube Indians collaborative project, which will have a requirement that you work with your group to write a summary report of what your group found and did, which will go on the YouTube Indians wiki.  This project will put you "on the other side of the desk" as a teacher. You will probably find it a bit like "herding cats" as the old saying goes, but it will be challenging and could be great fun.

Feel free to raise issues related to the class at any time.
