Anthropology Homework

For Tuesday, October 14, bring to class two copies of an outline of the op-ed piece you will be writing. The outline should state your position on the regulations and procedures related to the research on human subjects and answer the two questions posed in the “Background File.”

In supporting your position, you can draw on some or all of the cases described in the "Background File” material (BBLearn=> "content" => "Public Anthropology"). Think about a "hook," that is, an attention-grabbing way to start your op-ed piece. No particular format requirements for the outline. There are 15 points available for this assignment.

For this assignment you are encouraged to collaborate with your group members by asking their feedback on your outline. You may want to use “file swap” tool on your group’s forum. Each student, however, has to write their own individual outline.

Your op-ed text (about 500-700 words long) will be due on line at the Public Anthropology website, on Friday, October 17 by 11:59 PM, accessible by registration only.
