  • This course is easier if you are good at memorizing and piecing together things mentally. The tests are once a week and involve looking at around 25 bones in complete or fragmented forms and labeling the bone name, portion, and side it belongs to. If you go in during office hours to study the bones every week, you will get good marks. If you think you can pass by showing up only for the class and the test, you are sorely mistaken. Lots of studying the textbook and actual bones is required but if forensic anthropology is your passion, you will love this course.

  • First off, this is not an easy course. However, it is very interesting and useful. If you put in enough effort, it is possible to do well, but don't expect to finish with an overly high mark. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this class... well, until the final at least.
