Some tips:You do not need to write complete sentences.
Write in your own words – do not copy/paste from another source.
Your notes can be brief but must be accurate and make sense.
For example, if one of the terms was “archaeology,” you could write: “study of the past through human remains”

For your zoo paper, you will take one trip to a regional zoo. You may pick Los Angeles, San Diego, or Santa Ana. If you want to see apes, you must go to Los Angeles or San Diego. This is an experience based paper.
You can copy your information into the template for submission. Make any adjustments you need to make for flow.
The pages are as follows:
Page 1: Title page
Page 2: Introduction. Briefly summarize in about one page what your paper is about. Where di you go, what did you see, what did you do.
Pages 3 – 5: Zoo Information. What zoo is it? What is their mission statement? What primates do they have? How many primates do they have? What is the ambience? Is the zoo busy? Do they have educators out talking to people? Are the animals well cared for? Is the zoo clean? Etc.
Pages 6 – 7: Photos of primate enclosures.
Pages 8 – 9: Primate information (about the primates you will be observing)
Pages 10 – 11: Observations (it’s the charts you will fill out while watching enclosures, details when we cover primate observation)
Page 12: Zoo Mission. Is the zoo fulfilling their mission statement? Are all the signs in one language indicating that they may not be serving all of the population for example. Is the zoo accessible to visitors with disabilities?
Pages 13-14: Personal experience.
Page 15: References. There are a few in the template to help you with APA. I don’t expect any particular number. This is an experience project. If you are using resources for info on the zoo (like mission statement), they should be cited.
I said I’ll be going to the San Diego ZOO

Use what you have learned throughout the semester to reflect on the questions below. Please create a new thread with your response. To receive full credit, your response must be at least one paragraph and be well thought out. Feel free to discuss your responses with your peers. This reflection is worth 10 possible extra credit points.How has studying biological anthropology enhanced your understanding of human diversity, health, or the connections between biological processes and behaviors in your own life or within the broader context of society? Is there a topic in this course that was particularly impactful and relevant to you and why

READ EVERYTHING
Background:
I will provide you with documents of my ethnographic research I conducted this semester. I just want you to write the discussion of literature and study findings. Make sure it is detailed.
My RQ: How do group dynamics and interpersonal relationships influence individual motivation and performance during group fitness sessions?”
Themes to explore: 1) Emergence and impact of leadership roles within the group—whether through natural evolution or by design—and how these roles influence the group’s collective motivation and workout approaches. 2) Motivation and support systems are also key; I’ll explore what drives individuals in the group and how support is exchanged among members. 3) explaining the interpersonal relationships with gym activities offers a rich outlook for analysis—how these relationships spill over into workouts and the potential blurring of personal and fitness boundaries. The interaction between individual aspirations and group goals will be dissected to understand how personal fitness journeys are shaped by the collective. 4) Conflict and cohesion present another area of intrigue. How does the group handle internal challenges, and what role does the gym’s environment play in conflict resolution?
Use all the documents as you see fit to know my research in order to write accurately. U can find your own sources for the literature or you can use the ones I already put in the updated game plan. Know it is not a literature review rather you are explaining how it helps experience, observation. Also examine the fit or if it deviates. Make sure it weaves in with research findings and themes.
Instructions
Discussion of literature + study findings (3-5 pages total)
This can be one big section or two smaller ones—choose based on what allows you to
clearly express your points. This section or sections should include all of the following
(organized as you see fit):
-Engagement with the literature (at least three sources from our readings or things you
found on your own). If you discussed literature in your introduction, try not to repeat the
same information here. Use the literature to try and help you make sense of your
experiences. For example, do your observations fit with the readings you chose or
challenge them in some way? How?
-Discussion of your research findings (and any additional background I might need to
follow the discussion) and whether they confirmed your initial assumptions, challenged
them, or did both.
Don’t forget the ethnographic details! (Go back to the Ghodsee chapters we read in
week three for ideas.)

Provide preliminary background research on the site in question. Identify a particular research question that could be investigated at the site. Develop a plan of research that seeks to investigate aspects of identity or ideology.
The paper should roughly follow this outline:
An Abstract(~0.5 pgs)
Provide a concise introduction to the paper, including key details of the site, previous work, your proposed work, and any conclusions.
An Introduction Section(~0.5-1 pg)
Provide a brief descriiption of the site (e.g., cultural affiliation, dimensions of the site, depth of deposits, types of archaeological remains recovered, etc.)
A Background Section of the previous project that includes(~3 pgs):
A concise summary of the research question(s) that structured their investigations of the site.
A brief descriiption of the methods employed at the site. This should include a short overview of field methods, laboratory analysis, and/or public outreach/collaboration.
Critique the major interpretations of the site. Was the site well suited to answer the research question(s) posed?
Investigating Identity and Ideology (~3 pgs):
Based on what you know about the site, identify a particular research question that could be investigated at the site (must related to identity and ideology).
Develop a plan of research to address the specific question. Be sure to:
Outline your methods. Discuss the kinds of data you would collect and how they would help you to answer your research question.
Provide some concluding remarks clearly outlining how this plan would address your proposed research question.
Full bibliographic entries: Any reports and/or publications you reference in your text should be listed in a ‘References Cited’ section. When referring to such publications in your text, use parenthetical citations.

Final semester paper. We do this instead of an exam. It requires 2 interviews that have to be transcribed as well and I want to know if that is something that can be done. I have attached the full prompt. The assignment overview shown in the prompt is not needed

In approximately 1,500-2,000 words and essay form respond to the case-study scenarios and provide a theoretical analysis based on the theories and course concepts associated with the given scenario.
Each analysis should be thorough, being sure to fully consider the proposed scenario. Students should reference all theories and ideologies relatable to the scenario, ESPECIALLY those posed in the questions.
The scenarios are as follows:
In Roe v. Wade (1973), the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a right protected under the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), the same court, composed of different justices, determined that abortion was not a right protected under the Constitution. It was not “deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and tradition” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” Since then, debates have ensued as to whether abortion is a fundamental right and what the status of abortion rights in the United States implies for the conditions of living for women and how this disproportionately impacts disenfranchised populations.
What are the rights of citizenship to be negotiated in this conversation on abortion rights?
What is the role of the state in protecting these rights?
What are the conditions of inequality that must be considered here?
How do processes of gender role and expectations, as well as racialization come into play?
Based on ethnographic evidence and research from Andaya (2019) and Davis (2019), what are arguments about reproductive ethics, race, class, gender, and sexuality that must be considered?
How are these things negotiated and understood politically?
