GRADING CRITERIA
I take the following into consideration while grading
Relevance: assignments should address the prompt in a way and not stray too far beyond the scope of the class. Often, assignments will specifically require you to engage with a text.
Organization: though short, assignments should be well-organized and easy for a reader to follow
Engagement with class material, topics or discussion: these assignments revolve around things we discuss in class, so your responses should demonstrate your critical engagement with the topics, materials, and texts from class
Accuracy: when you bring information, facts, or observations into your writing, make sure they are accurate and relevant, and consistent with the larger points you are making.

here are some of the websites that are needed to be watched before doing this assignment



also the presentations are in the photos and the the videos are in this comment area, also the sheets that will need to be done are in the files

You will make scriipt that has to be read under two minutes and then write a 2 page reflection paper. Each student will record a brief (2 minute) “Clinical Skills” video in which they explain a therapeutic principle ( behavioral parent training) to a mock client. The assignment is designed to demonstrate knowledge and application of a particular clinical skill. This brief video file must be accompanied by a 2-page reflection paper that a) identifies/describes the skill, b) outlines the context/situation in which this type of therapeutic principle would be applied, and c) describes your reflection on the experience (e.g. challenges) of explaining the skill.

In a five-page essay: anthropologically define culture. Then, anthropologically describe how you were enculturated as a child and how you acculturated to a new cultural paradigm later in life. MLA format.

Across mammals in general, reproductive success is generally limited by different factors in males and females. Explain what this means. What consequences does this difference have for the reproductive strategies of the two sexes? 
To what extent does this apply to humans? 
Considering the two evolutionarily relevant things that you can get from a mate (i.e., genes and/or investment), identify one of these where the sexes are expected to choose mates by similar criteria and one where they are expected to have different criteria. Refer only to humans for part C. 
For each, explain the evolutionary basis for your predictions (i.e., Why would the sexes evolve these similar or different preferences?).
Format and Grading Reminders: The essay questions will ask you to integrate theory and data in a specific area of psychological research. The point is to engage the material you are learning, not merely repeat it. To that end you will need to include in each essay at least TWO empirical articles that you have gleaned from the literature yourself (that is, two sources other than your textbook and the lectures). In your search for sources, three very useful tools are “Google Scholar,” “PsycInfo,” and “Web of Science.” Wikipedia is not an acceptable source, though you may find useful sources in the “References” lists of Wikipedia articles.
You will be evaluated on the coherence and rigor of your analysis: Do you understand the relevant theories? Can you tell what kinds of evidence support or undermine each theory? Have you chosen appropriate sources? You will also be evaluated on the clarity of your expression. Maximum length for the essay is 1,000 words; this does not include your References Cited section, which you must have. Thus you will need to plan so that you are not only clear, but also concise. Your essays must be submitted by 11:59PM on the due date. Essays must be 12pt font, double-spaced. For citations, please use APA format (otherwise no need to follow APA format).
*note: use module 4-6 material to craft the essay also 3 or more source would be preferable

Write a summary  1 PAGE EACH, for EACH article, including your review/what you learned from the reading

For this lab you will demonstrate your understanding and knowledge of the physical characteristics of different hominin species.

Please remember that the field notes should be attached with your Week 7 paper, and the 3-to-4-page double-spaced paper is in addition to the page or pages of the field notes.
Assignment Instructions
Why do so many researchers still treat race as a scientific concept? For your assignment this week, you will ask respondents about their definitions or understandings of race. In this article, an anthropologist asked scientists, too, for their definitions of race: 
https://slate.com/technology/2019/05/race-science-angela-saini-new-book-superior-deconstructed.htmlLinks to an external site. 
For this research assignment and paper, you will first survey 20 adult people of your choosing to ask them about their attitudes about race. Do not survey or interview children, inmates, or anyone else who cannot give legal or voluntary consent.
Please tell your adult respondents that you are completing a research project and paper for your online Cultural Anthropology course on people’s understandings of, and attitudes about, race.
Important: Your respondents must remain anonymous. To maintain their confidentiality, in your field notes, you must codify them and not list their names. You may number each subject or use initials instead, but no first or last names should be included.
Explain no more. If respondents do not understand any of the five questions, please ask them to simply answer to the best of their ability and understanding, and explain that you are unable to discuss the question any further, according to assignment requirements. 
Ask each of the 20 people the following 5 questions, and no more, and record their responses in your field notes, which you will submit with your paper: 
1) How many races are there? 
2) What are those races? (Please list them.) 
3) What is your race? 
4) What is your gender? 
5) What is your age? 
Then, in a 3-to-4 page double-spaced paper, in Times New Roman 12 point font, no longer and no shorter, explain your results.
Do you observe any patterns of responses based on respondents’ cultures, sub-cultures, or any particular socioeconomic background?
What about gender?
What about age?
Do people of particular age groups respond in a similar way?
Why do you think you observed the responses that you did? 
How do the responses compare to the anthropological understanding of race, or to what you have learned in this course in the weekly lessons or in the textbook? 
Be sure to include quotations or paraphrases from the textbook and/or weekly lesson and parenthetical in-text citations to support your points in the paper.
Optional: Get ahead! Receive specialized writing feedback by submitting your paper for review.

please start by watching this video on the Human Genome Project. When the Human Genome Project began in 1990, it was among the most ambitious medical research projects ever initiated in the history of the US. Its objective was none other than recording the billions of base pairs in human DNA in order to have ‘a map’ of the human genome. Every human being on this planet has unique DNA (which is why law enforcement uses genetic testing to identify victims or prosecute criminals). Although our DNA is unique, the Human Genome Project, which ended in 2006, created ‘a map’ of the entire human genome that we can now use to compare our DNA in search of patterns or particular traits.
Please answer the following questions:
How did the Human Genome Project advance our knowledge of human biology and evolution? Provide an example of from the videos and/or Chapter 2. 
What contributions did the Human Genome Project make in the field of medicine? How might genetic testing improve our lives? Provide an example of from the videos and/or Chapter 2.
After learning about the Human Genome Project, please watch this short clip ‘Kyle Traded in his Lederhosen for a Kilt.’ Once you have watched this clip, answer the following questions:
Is identity tied to DNA? Why/why not?
If you were to take a DNA test and it revealed a genetic match to people in a region you have never visited nor ever really considered, how would this change your sense of who you are?
Is identity determined by what is in our DNA or is identity something separate and distinct?
Please provide at least one (1) quote per section from Chapters 1 and Chapter 2. Please remember to include the page numbers of where you have drawn this quote.
