Topics in Human Population Biology/Health (BIAN8002)

A program of directed readings and regular discussions on a sub-field of Biological Anthropology concerned with the biology and/or health of living human populations, normally corresponding approximately to the syllabus of one of the core or compulsory courses in the Biological Anthropology Grad Dip or MA coursework. Students already well qualified in a given sub-field may be offered a more advanced or more specialized program in that sub-field, or a program in a different sub-field. The designated topic coverage will be specified by memorandum from the co-ordinator to the Arts Faculty office on an individual basis, and will be included on the student's transcript.  An individual student may take the course more than once, subject to non-overlapping topic coverage.

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Workload

Normally offered every semester. Conducted by regular meetings with co-ordinator.
