Goal

Demonstrate your understanding of this key course concept: biocultural evolution.

Instructions

Explain what the term biocultural means. How does this approach influence anthropological inquiry (i.e., how does the biocultural concept affect how anthropologists study humanity)? Provide two biocultural examples: one from the textbook or syllabus, and one from your own life. Minimum word requirement: 250 (about one page).

Formatting Requirements

All assignments must be double spaced, Arial 12-point font, 1 inch margins, and submitted in .doc, .docx, or .pdf file formats. Completing assignments on smart phone or tablet devices is not recommended as this may cause formatting issues. If you do not have access to a computer at home, you may access the computers in the GWC or Public Libraries. Don’t forget to put your name, the date, the course, and title including the assignment number. Be sure to edit (Links to an external site.) and spellcheck your work!

Reference Requirements

You must cite the course textbook and any other sources used in a References section at the end of your assignment. Follow the citation guidelines outlined in the APA Style Guide (Links to an external site.) (note that APA formatting applies only to the References section; you do not need to include a Title Page or Abstract). In-text citations are not required unless a direct quote or close paraphrase is used.

Paraphrasing and Plagiarism Notice

Assignments will be analyzed by the TurnItIn plagiarism checker. You must write in your own words, and use quotes sparingly, if at all. Plagiarized assignments will be given a 0 and reported to the college. If you need help paraphrasing or writing assignments, please contact the GWC Writing & Reading Center (Links to an external site.) or visit plagiarism.org (Links to an external site.).
