| Course Description | A program of directed readings and regular discussions on a sub-field of Biological Anthropology concerned with primatology and/or palaeoanthropology, 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. |
| Learning Outcomes | The course aims as described above to bring a graduate in a cognate discipline to at least the same level of expertise in the relevant subfield as an honours student would have, and potentially to prepare him/her an MA thesis in it. |
| Indicative Assessment | Assessment items to be negotiated, with a guide line of 5,000-6,000 words in total across all written assignments. |
