Courses / Module

• As a result of this module, IF the student: 1) attends all lectures, diligently taking notes, and 2) completes all assigned readings, studying the concepts in those readings, and 3) completes all assigned work, giving full effort to that work, THEN (and only then) it is reasonable to assume that by the end of this module the student will:
• 1) be familiar with anthropological approaches to kinship;
• 2) will have begun to identify her or his own weaknesses in critical thinking and writing skills, and will begin to acquire tools for improving these skills in the second and third years of study;
• 3) will be prepared to undertake further study in anthropology.

• 18 lecture hours and 5 discussion group hours.

• Module Graded (numeric value) or Ungraded (Pass/Not Passed): Graded
• Continuous Assessment detail(s): Assignment/Presentation

• Pass standard: 40%
• Could the result of this module be capped? No
• Penalties: Unauthorised late continuous assessments will be penalised

• Repeat students must sit the repeat exam in Autumn and submit their continuous assessment by a date before the Autumn examination, which will be specified by the department. Students are responsible for familiarising themselves with this deadline. If students do not submit by the deadline, the existing continuous assessment mark will be carried forward to the Autumn. No continuous assessment work will be accepted after this date. The maximum mark awarded to a piece of continuous assessment submitted for the Autumn repeat examinations is 50%. This will apply except upon presentation of a medical certificate covering the relevant period or in other extremely extenuating circumstances, which must be communicated to, and accepted by, the lecturer prior to, or immediately after, the relevant deadline.
• University scheduled written examination (Autumn): 45 minutes
