Wow. We reached the end. It feels like just yesterday I was waving an australopithecine skull at you all and trying to convince you that Darwin is weird.
Memories…
So! Your final is upon us! As I mentioned, you can either take the two hour exam on May 9th or do a final paper. The following are the instructions for the final paper.
As a good ol’ fashioned final paper, I’d like you to write c. 1250-1300 words, which is roughly 5 pages.
You can write on a topic of your choosing in anthropology. That’s right, the world is your oyster! All I need is 4 high quality sources (one of which can be Lavenda and Schultz and another can be one of the resources we used for external readings).
Think about what topics we talked about in class that really interested you.
Maybe it was feminist archaeology or polyandry or australopithecines or pidgin.
Focus on a specific topic and do some research on it beyond Lavenda and Schultz. Try to construct a narrative or argument around the topic itself. I am available to help talk you through the paper construction as well if you need it.
You’re also welcome to take a less conventional take on this assignment, creating a work of art or podcast or film that embodies or explains an anthropological concept, idea, or object.
For either option, you need a works cited, in-text citations (parenthetical please!), and please use MLA or Chicago citation format.
