Fall 2021
Fieldwork Project
Assignment: Write the) inal paper
Submit your paper through Blackboard by December 12th, 2021 at 5:00pm
Assignment: Consult the notes and narrative descriptions you prepared in earlier stages of the project. Write a term paper that draws upon your) findings to write an anthropological report on the subject at the center of your research. 5-6 pages.
You might wish to incorporate information drawn from a few published sources, but you are not required to do so. If you do draw on published materials, you must cite all of your sources. Use whichever citation style you
)ind most comfortable, but be consistent with your citation style. If you use published sources, you must include a bibliography. [The bibliography does not count toward the page limit.]
Follow these steps to compose a successful term paper:
First, make sure that you have a clear topic. • Your topic is probably very close to the idea that you proposed earlier in the semester, so you should begin by reminding yourself of the topic that you initially proposed.
Second, make sure you have a strong thesis statement. • Remember, a thesis statement is not the same thing as a topic. A good thesis statement makes a claim or argument about the topic of the paper.
caused a change in how people conduct casual of)ice chitchat.” This is a good thesis statement because it makes a speci)ic claim about the topic you have de)ined.
Now, use the body of your paper to defend your thesis statement. • Use the information that you collected in earlier stages of this research project to make clear, speci)ic arguments that support your thesis statement.
Next, check to make sure that you have used information you collected during your research. • If your paper is not supported by the information you gathered during earlier stages of this project, then it will not be a successful paper.
Then, write your conclusion. • Your concluding paragraph should bring all of your arguments together in support of your thesis statement.
Finally, review your paper to make sure you have followed academic best practices. • Do not use someone else’s words or ideas without clear attribution. If you have incorporated someone else’s words, you must use quotation marks to show that they are not your own words. If you have quoted from a published source, you must use citations. Any unattributed use of someone else’s words is a form of plagiarism, and it will result in a score of zero on this assignment.
Paper Checklist:
Before you submit, do the following.
Ask yourself: • Is the thesis statement clear? Does it provide an answer to the question you want to
address? • What are the main arguments? Do they support your thesis statement? • Have you included appropriate sources? Do they support your own arguments?
Have you provided citations? • Have you given your reader a reason to care about your topic? Have you identi)ied
and communicated the broader signi)icance of your topic?
Consult a friend: • Find someone who does not already know very much about your paper. Ask that
person to read the paper carefully. • Ask your reader to identify and explain your thesis and your main arguments. Does
your reader’s description match your goals for the paper? • Ask your reader to identify points of confusion. Ask for feedback about what sort of
information would help to clear up that confusion. • Ask your reader to identify the broader signi)icance of your paper. What makes your
topic something that people should care about?
Copyedit your paper carefully: • Good organization, good grammar, and correct spelling help your instructor access
your ideas. Maximize your grade by making your ideas as clear as possible.
Formatting:
Unless your instructor speci)ically tells you otherwise, there are several formatting guidelines that you should always follow for every paper you write in college:
