Email Policy
Email correspondence should be sent to your instructors, Abigail Bigham or Liz Roberts, ONLY in
the case of an emergency or if you need to schedule an in person meeting outside of our
regularly scheduled office hours. In our experience, most emailed questions are answered by
simply reading this syllabus. If you have a simple question that is not covered by the syllabus,
please ask us in person before or after lecture. This is much more efficient for everyone than
sending an email. If you have a complex question, please come see us during our regularly
scheduled office hours. If you have a schedule conflict with this time slot, you may email to set up
a time. In your email subject, please include the following information: AnthrBIO 342 or
AnthrCul342 student meeting request.
