Just saw an archaeology professor fail one of my peers for trying to correct him. Do you think this is good teaching and who was in the wrong?:
>prof: describe traits of these human skulls and assess their ancestry.
>peer: You literally can't do that because it's unethical and bad practice. If you let people study these arbitrary traits they will fall back on socially constructed and racialised phenotypes bias. Finally, the example study has a sample size of only 718.
He received no credit at all for this answer and will fail his mid-term now!
