  • For your Case Studies you may use both electronic resources and traditional library materials, and, where appropriate, interviews and videotapes
  • Also check the "Individuals" listed on the Other WebSites Page
    • Try getting more information by looking at sites on the web:

      • Try surfing the web by searching with the search engines found by clicking on the Web "Search" button found on the upper righthand corner all of the course WebPages

         

      • Hint: When you do a search on an item that has more than one word, like "culture and personality," use the "phrase" option of the search engine

        • otherwise it will search out everything with "culture" and everything with "personality," and the list of "hits" could get quite large

        • These keywords might be useful to your project:
          • culture and personality,
          • personality
          • modal personality
          • basic personality
          • psychological anthropology
          • cognitive anthropology
          • national character
          • ethnoscience
          • ethnosemantics
          • language and culture
          • cross cultural psychology
          • cross cultural psychiatry
          • cultural psychology
          • life history
          • projective tests
          • perception
          • cognition, motivation
          • evolutionary psychology
          • emic / etic
          • acculturation
          • dream analysis
          • cross cultural psychiatry
          • unobtrusive measures
          • abnormal behavior
          • abnormal psychology
          • altered states of conscience
          • spirit possession


      • See the "Preparing the Final Draft" section of the Sociology - Anthropology Writing Guide to see the details of what your Case Study report should look like when you hand it in

      • Due to WebDrop <https://webdrop.d.umn.edu>

      • This Case Study counts for 200 points, or 11.6% of your final grade
        • Unexcused late Case Study papers receive no credit

    • Criteria for Grading College Writing

    • Suggestion: Don't put off the Case Study assignment. The web doesn't always work when you want it to, and the library does not always have the book when you need it most.

    "Academic dishonesty tarnishes UMD's reputation and discredits the accomplishments of students. UMD is committed to providing students every possible opportunity to grow in mind and spirit. This pledge can only be redeemed in an environment of trust, honesty, and fairness. As a result, academic dishonesty is regarded as a serious offense by all members of the academic community. In keeping with this ideal, this course will adhere to UMD's Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at [http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/integrity/Academic_Integrity_Policy.htm]. This policy sanctions students engaging in academic dishonesty with penalties up to and including expulsion from the university for repeat offenders." — UMD Educational Policy Committee, Jill Jensen, Chair (08/16/2007)

    and the UMD Student Conduct Code
    <http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/code/>

    and the

    Student Conduct Code Statement (students' rights)
    <http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/conduct/conduct-statement.html>

    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]. Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-messaging, watching videos, playing computer games, doing email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other instructor-sanctioned activities." — UMD Educational Policy Committee, Jill Jensen, Chair (08/16/2007)

    Instructor and Student Responsibilities Policy

    AVISO!

    A Note on Extra Credit Papers

    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
    (EVEN IF you have a citation to the source somewhere in your paper)

    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.
