Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This practical course is directed towards advanced students in Evolutionary Anthropology. Students acquire knowledge on how to derive and investigate a research question, develop suitable questionnaires and behavior catalogues, observe behavior), followed by statistical analysis and interpretation of the results. We will use cutting-edge observational and morphometric methods. The course will conclude with an oral exam.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation, quality of the collected data and documentation, long abstract and oral exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In addition to regular attendance (more than 80%), a minimum of 50 points is required for the successful completion of the course. The single components are weighted as follows: active participation (30 points), data collection and its documentation (30 points), oral exam (40 points).
If good scientific practice is violated in any assessment, you will fail to pass the course.
