Introduction to Anthropology / Orientation to the Course
Have a look at the linked materials in the various units as you go along (such as the " ("First-Day Handout" in the next section), and look at the slide materials* (indicated by .pptx)
There will be more slides towards the beginning of the term, and more videos towards the middle and at the end, and we will finish off the semester with presentations of your Term Project.
It is generally best to watch the videos after you have looked at the slides and reading material(s).
*A note on the slide formats: Since at this point we do not know what software you are using on your computer, we offer the slides in two formats. We recommend you first try "(.pdf)" , the “Portable Document Format” that is the open standard for document exchange. If you have problems with that format, please try "(.pptx)" , Office PowerPoint 2007. It is unlikely that you will have problems with both of them, but if you do, please let us know: troufs@d.umn.edu. When the materials are on your screen they should be running as a slide show. If you want or need to upgrade your software, you can download the latest PowerPoint viewer freeLinks to an external site., as well as download the latest Adobe .pdf Reader freeLinks to an external site..
