Osteoarchaeology

Even if you get 100% on the quizzes you still must do peer reviewed assignments.

Some minor technical issues with peer reviews of assignments, but overall I liked the combination of written assignments and quizzes, and the (ungraded) forum discussion questions.

Quality videos and interesting case studies.

The professor give excellent information interspersed with interesting case studies.

very well presented by all of those involved.

muy bueno me cuesta pero muy bueno solo que al habla hispano sin bases buenas en ingles se le complica pero excelente curso A great course very well presented.

The lectures were stimulating and full of information - so much was new to me that I listened to all of them twice.

Thank you so much for creating it.

very interesting I am taking this course over even though I passed all the assignments because it's so fascinating!

This is a very good course, I have really enjoyed taking this course, and I learned a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will hope for a more in depth follow on from the team, This is a great course, very interesting with real case studies and plenty of references for further academic reading.

All questions remained unanswered (except by other students), and frustrated calls for help and advice were ignored.

My only criticism is the lack of understanding by the other students when they grade others papers.

Congratulations on a fantastic job, Dr. Andrea Waters-Rist and team!

good I really enjoyed this course , it taught me a lot about the Human Skeleton and I will now look at Bones in a very different way, and will be able to "read" them a little, my thanks go to Dr Andrea Waters-Rist and her Team for an interesting time, thank you .

However, the grades do not provide relevant feedback, since it is peer-reviewed assignments by fellow students.

The majority of the course's mark (60%) is determined by fellow students using a rubric which leaves little true 'wiggle room' between pass and fail marks.

The mystery cases on which we worked during the course were never 'resolved' or explained in any way, which would have been nice after the effort that went into them.

The course has been very informative, the mystery cases we had to solve challenging.

As an older student who has more difficulty remembering new vocabulary than I once did, the projects were particularly helpful in cementing the new terminology, as well as providing a great way to practice what I learned.

Note that if you are serious about both the topic and the project assignments (which also entail evaluating the completed project steps of other students), this class requires more time each week than other courses I've taken -- not to listen to lectures, but to apply and use and practice what you've learned.
