Anthropology Gen Eds for Spring 2012

For freshmen, keep in mind that 200-level courses might have higher expectations (writing, discussion, participation) than you experienced in the fall. That being said, if you're ready for the challenge and are interested in the subject matter, one of these courses could be a great addition to your spring schedule. Be sure to observe all pre-requisite instructions - just because the system will let you register for a course doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea for you, at least not right now. Feel free to consult with me if you're unsure whether a course is a good idea for you or not - dmurph -at - illinois.edu. For more information including times, locations, and section availability, go to the new & improved campus course schedule at http://go.illinois.edu/CourseExplorer
