Exemplary Individual Course Learning Objectives:
-
ANTH 469: Devon Pena - A thorough intellectual grounding and
rationale for the course, as well as detailed learning objectives for each
unit. This "framing" of the course in larger contexts, both within and

pursued in subsequent courses and disciplines,
- Astronomy

together in novel settings.
- CMU 200:
Gerald Baldasty - A two-paragraph overview of the key themes of the
