Description
Over time students enrolled in ANTH 2339: Introduction to Archaeology have informally commented on the required course materials, often citing the expense of the book particularly coupled with the expenses of all the books students needed to buy for all their classes each semester. Even when using an older edition textbook to reduce cost, it became clear that most students in the course were not purchasing the textbook. In Summer 2019, the course was approved for the Core Curriculum at UTA. Introduction to Archaeology now fulfills a Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement for all UTA students. Its adoption into the Core Curriculum has increased enrollment, and in turn lead to an even greater need for affordable resources. A UTA CARES grant application was funded in 2019 to support use of OER in this course. This final report details challenges and accomplishments of the project.
