Course Description: Survey of world cultures, primarily non-literate, using various anthropological approaches; development from simple to more complex cultural systems.

Assignment summary: In lieu of completing a traditional term paper, students will work alone or with a partner to identify a page on Wikipedia covering a non-western society or culture that is missing information. Students will then conduct library research on this information gap and write a short contribution to the Wikipedia page. Students can choose from a list of suggested pages or submit your own for approval.
