After receiving backlash b/c my class was too hard - I now begin each quarter with a statement to this effect. "Intro to Biological Anthro" means you don't need any background or experience in Anthropology to take the course. It doesn't mean the course will be easy.https://twitter.com/ErikaAlpert/status/1039216513901883392 …
