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. 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. 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. Essentially the extra credit paper should be a "normal" term paper. In Prehistoric Cultures extra credit term papers usually run 8 - 12 pages, including a title page and a separate "Works Cited" or "References" page. Extra credit Term Papers can receive up to 100 points (about 5.0% of final grade*) -- if they
are turned in on time. A-grade papers receive up to 90 - 100 points (*percentages will vary a little bit depending on the final number of Forum topics for the term)

Extra Credit Film / Lecture Review Option On-line Lectures, Movies, and Videos

Lecture / Film Review Grading Information As mentioned in the "Note on Videos and Visual Anthropology" one of the four main characteristics of American Anthropology is fieldwork, and the next best thing to hopping a bus or plane is going to places and viewing subjects by film. Although in Prehistoric Cultures we view a substantial number of videos, in the area of Prehistoric Cultures many hundreds of quality films exist--including feature films, documentaries, "shorts," interesting YouTube vignettes. For the Film / Lecture Review Option choose a feature-length film or a documentary that is not assigned in class and review it, as you might for a column in your college newspaper. Recommended "Optional" and "Supplementary" videos are listed on the class Video Page. This same information is also available for the semester on the "Video Schedule" pages (DAY Video Schedule) (CE Video Schedule). Feature-length films and major documentaries (that qualify for Extra Credit) are listed on the class video page. 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 Prehistoric Cultures, and writing up a brief paper on the event. Qualifying lectures will be announced in class and on your personal e-mail account as opportunities arise. The public lectures extra credit option could include approved lectures available on-line from Open University type lectures availble from some universities. See, for e.g. . . . On-Line Lecturesfrom Other Universities and Organizations Extra credit Film / Lecture Reviews can receive up to 30 points (about 1.5 % of final grade*) -- if they
are turned in on time. A-grade papers receive up to 28 - 30 points (*percentages will vary a little bit depending on the final number of Forum topics for the term) A public lecture summary paper should contain at least two parts:

This course is governed by the . . .
University of Minnesota Duluth Student Academic Integrity Policy No credit given for work determined to be created in part or whole by ChatGPT or its equivalent artificial intelligence tool.
Use of AI-content generators for class assignments "UMD’s Academic Integrity policy covers any work done by automated content generators such as ChatGPT or other generative artificial intelligence tools unless otherwise noted by the faculty
member. These tools present new challenges and opportunities." and the UMD Student Conduct Code The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the University's Student Conduct Code [http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.html] Instructor and Student Responsibilities Policy AVISO! Failure to comply with the above codes and standards when submitting an Extra Credit paper will result in a penalty commensurate with the lapse, up to and including an F final grade for the course, and, at a minimum, a reduction in total points no fewer than the points available for the Extra Credit project. The penalty will not simply be a zero for the project, and the incident will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards.
A Note on "Cutting and Pasting" without the Use of Quotation Marks If you use others' words and/or works you MUST so indicate that with the use of quotation marks. Failure to use quotation marks to indicate that the materials are not of your authorship constitutes plagiarism—even if you have a citation to the source elsewhere in your paper/work. Patterned failure to so indicate that the materials are not of your own authorship will result in an F grade for the course. Other instances of improper attribution will result in a 0 (zero) for the assignment (or a reduction in points equal to the value of an Extra Credit paper), and a reduction of one grade in the final grade of the course. All incidents will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the Office of Student and Community Standards as is required by University Policy. |
