Extra Credit, Lecture Option

Public lectures are often given at the Depot in Duluth, at the Fairlawn Mansion and Museum in Superior, and on the college campuses in the Twin Ports area. You can receive extra credit by attending a public lecture relating to Cultural Anthropology, and writing up a brief paper on the event. Qualifying lectures will be announced in class and on your personal e-mail account.

A public lecture summary paper should contain at least two parts:

  1. a summary of the talk or presentation, and,
  2. your personal reaction to the presentation

Lecture Option Papers:

  • may earn an extra 30 points (3%)
  • may be short (two to three pages)
  • are due due to WebDrop <https://webdrop.d.umn.edu> within forty-eight hours of the event
  • must be word-processed
  • must follow a college writing handbook such as Andrea Lunsford and Robert Connors, The New St. Martin's Handbook. New York: St. Martin's, 1999.

    Or you can follow the Soc-Anth Writing Guide.

    Other web resources such as OWL and Paradigm can be found on the UMD "Writing Labs, On-Line Assisstance, and Reference Works" page.

  • For your footnotes, "bibliography" ("Works Cited" or "References"), and other matters like that, use either the APA (American Psychological Association) citation style, the MLA (Modern Language Association) style, the CMS (Chicago) style, or the CBE (Council of Biology Editors) style. Don't make up your own.

You may do one lecture extra credit lecture option and / or one extra credit term paper.

Extra Credit Term Paper Option

This is basically an introductory course in which we will cover a broad spectrum of topics in a limited manner. Extra credit term papers allow you to cover one of those topics in a more comprehensive fashion.

You may write on any topic related to this course, but your paper must reflect work and include materials not considered a normal part of this course.

Extra credit work should be more comprehsive and detailed than the Case Studies. Essentially the extra credit paper should be a "normal" term paper. In Cultural Anthropology extra credit term papers usually run 8 - 12 pages.

It should be on SOME OTHER TOPIC than the case studies. You may choose anything discussed in the lectures or the text other than the case studies topics.

If you have not had a lot of experience writing term papers, this option provides an excellent opportunity to develop your writing skills. It also usually results in a higher grade for the course.

Extra credit term papers usually receive one to twelve points -- if they are turned in on time:

      • C-grade papers receive 6 points
      • B-grade papers receive 9 points
      • A-grade papers receive 12 points
