If you're looking for a course to fulfill the linguistic anthro requirement, or if you're just looking for an elective I definitely reccomend this course. The class consists of 5 "participation" assignments, 5 annotation assignments and a final group project. The participation assignments are super easy since they can be pretty much anything, including lecture notes, questions about the readings or lectures, or even drawings that are relevent to the class topics; you also have until the end of the quarter to turn them in since they don't have a hard deadline. For the annotation assignments, each one requires 3 annotations for the assigned reading, around 200 words per annotation posted and Perusall will automatically give you full credit. The final project makes up a majority of your grade since it has multiple components to it that you work on throughout the quarter, each worth like 10-15%, but everything is turned in as a group so that makes it a lot easier. You're pretty much allowed to choose any topic you want as long as its relevant to the class. If you have a good group of people (you are allowed to choose your own group members) where everyone contributes, you're almost guaranteed an A.
