INTRODUCTION:
As part of the general education requirements at the University of Arizona,
all students take a series of courses that expose them to different ideas
and different disciplines. Anthropology is a social science and papers follow
a more scientific than literary format. ANTH 4205 is designated as a “writing
intensive course,” so this writing assignment is required.
FORMAT:
You will write one essay for the course from a list of topics I will provide.
You will be graded on spelling, punctuation, and grammar, in addition to content.
You are not required to use any sources besides those assigned for the
course. The essay must be at least 5 full pages in length (not including
your References Cited page), but no more than 6 pages. Type the full question
you are answering above the essay. Required formatting: 1" wide margins,
12 point Times New Roman font, and double-spaced.
You must include a References Cited page. Failure to do so will result in points being deducted from your paper grade. All discussions of a person's ideas or direct quotes from their work must include an in-text reference in the following format: (Relethford 1994:254). This includes ideas taken from the textbook. At the end of the paper you must have a References Cited page with the full reference to the work, including the author, date, title, publisher, and publisher's location, in the following format:
Relethford, John H.
1994 Fundamentals
of Biological Anthropology. Mayfield Publishing Company, Mountain
View,
California.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated! For help understanding plagiarism, please read this page: http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml
HOW IT WORKS:
The essay is due before you complete Exam 3. Once you have finished
the essay, and proofread/spell-checked your work, you will email (mlittler@u.arizona.edu)
your paper to me as a file attachment. Acceptable file formats are: Rich Text
Format (filename.rtf), WordPerfect (filename.wpd), or Word (filename.doc).
Your files must be in PC (not Macintosh) format!
WRITING TIPS:
1. Create an outline. Analyze the question that you are responding to and
break it up into discrete parts. Having an outline early in the research stage
allows you to arrange your notes in the order you will discuss them (whether
on the computer or on pieces of paper).
2. Remember the rules of paragraph construction. Begin with a topical sentence that lets the reader know what the content of the paragraph will refer to. Short and snappy topical sentences catch the reader's eye and provide a concise way of summarizing what is to come afterward.
3. Be concise and avoid long sentences. Scientific writing requires clarity and succinctness. Technical writing is very different from literary essays. However, this does not mean that you cannot be creative. Do not use contractions in your paper (it's, I'm, don't, etc.).
4. Always spell check your work with a word processor or use a dictionary.
5. Reread your work and edit it closely before sending in the final paper. Check for incomplete sentences and for awkward constructions. Sometimes it helps to read the paper to yourself out loud.
