While team‐based and interdisciplinary research is increasingly common for anthropologists and other researchers, pedagogical strategies for integrating hands‐on training in this area is underexplored. As anthropologists reflect on how to prepare the next generation of researchers, this article addresses a strategy for designing and assessing undergraduate assignments that provides undergraduate and graduate students experiences that are transferable to interdisciplinary and team‐based projects. I argue that a collaborative assessment approach to undergraduate applied anthropology assignments based on a model for developing team‐based codebooks by MacQueen et al. (2008) can support graduate and undergraduate students in acquiring skills for their future careers. Drawing on several years of experience teaching medium‐to‐large enrolling introductory cultural anthropology courses, this article illustrates how a collaborative assessment approach offers graduate teaching assistants hands‐on experience with navigating team‐based projects and codebook development as well as supports undergraduate students in refining their critical thinking and writing skills interdisciplinarily.
