What was the sculpture’s purpose? Is there some larger philosophical, historical, or social context that informs the work?
To what extent does the sculpture reflect the artistic style of the period in which it was constructed? How do you know this?

JUDGMENT: (Forming an evaluation/opinion.)

Is it a quality piece of art? Why? What makes this an effective sculpture (or not)? What do you think and why?
How does it compare to similar works?
What is the best part of the work? What are its strengths? Why?
What are the weaknesses of the piece? Why?
Would different people view the work differently? How so? Why?

  • What did you learn that was new to you, or brought new ideas on familiar topics to you (e.g., ethics codes you learned on the job and now in the course; about your own experience with persons from different demographic backgrounds than yourself; times you had productive experiences within uncomfortable settings at first etc.)?
  • Drawing on your own personal and/or professional experiences, what value do you see in a diverse group setting? How have such settings improved group or personal experiences you have had, or not, as you see it or have experienced it?

Call Of The Assignment
Write an interesting, informative paper about a person, an event, a political, technical, or medical development, or a social movement based on research. This paper does not require you to take sides, nor to draw conclusions: report on something affected by time, or which develops through time. Try to be accurate in your writing, and interesting in your presentation. Tell a chronological story.

One way to find a subject is to read in sources about the year and month of your birth to get an idea of what was going on, and what has had some lasting influence. Another way is to research anything from the past you are interested in. If you pursue an interest, research is easier and the resulting paper is usually better. This paper needs to be 1500 words, and will have parenthetical citations, and a works cited page of between 5 and 8 sources. However, In order to find enough material to write on, it may be necessary to find more.
Suggestions:
To get started, look to Facts on File, or Wikipedia, which will give you a rough idea of when something in the past has happened. But remember these are not sources that you can cite in a college essay (Edit: You can use Facts on File).
When you have settled on a story you wish to tell, go to the databases. LexisNexis is a good place to start because it will give you access to articles written at the time you are researching. But you may also wish to look at Academic Search Premier, and SIRS.
When you have a source, review it to see if is worth printing off. But remember that you may need to take notes, because it is easier to write a paper from notes than it is from separate articles with marginal comments and highlighted passages.
Don’t print off articles that repeat information you already have—you are showing some kind of chronological development, not collecting all the available information on a subject. You will begin to know when you are done researching when your sources begin to repeat themselves.
Remember that writing the paper is important. At some time you have to get to it.
Look closely at the MLA conventions in your handbook or online. Remember that you will need to know, if your article is signed, the author’s name, its title, where and when it was published, and the page number the information you used came from.

Human primates have the longest period of childhood dependency of any species. How do Hrdy and Small describe the biological needs of human youngsters?

Books needed to answer questions below

Hrdy, S. B. (2009). Mothers and others: The evolutionary origins of mutual understanding . Belknap Press of Harvard University Press. ISBN 978-0-674-03299-6

Small, M. F. (1998). Our babies, ourselves: How biology and culture shape the way we parent . Anchor Books/Random House. ISBN: 0385483627\

Question
Survival of a species is important. Human primates have the longest period of childhood dependency of any species. How do Hrdy and Small describe the biological needs of human youngsters? Both authors focus on the relationship between mother and infant. Compare and contrast how each of them portrays what in human families makes nurturing human infants successful and what makes it less successful. How does their portraits of family relationships compare to the findings of attachment research? What is the relationship between human fathers and their children according to Hrdy and Small? What are the strengths and/or limitations of their treatment of the roles of human fathers? According to Hrdy, Small and you, what are the contributions of other family members and those outside the family to the survival and development of human children? What have you learned about raising babies from these authors, and where do you think their work is biased and/or incomplete?

The Writer’s Creative Process

Paragraph 3 that starts with “Grisham’s writing technique”
Comment from professor:
This paragraph seems to only contain summary — make sure to focus on analysis throughout the essay. What do you think about this part of his process? Would it be helpful to you? Does it link to any of the readings in the course?

Paragraph 4 that starts with “Grisham’s creative process”
Comment from professor:
Same here — focus a little more on analysis than on the summary.

Paragraph 6 that starts with “Grisham’s process highlights”
Comment from professor:
The paragraphs on this page are excellent! Consider incorporating your analysis throughout the paragraphs on the last page, rather than separating them into summary paragraphs and analysis paragraphs.

The areas that need revision are on papers one, two, and three if this description is confusing.

Overall, my professor says “Samantha, you have a great start on this analysis! You chose a creator and have learned more about his creative process, you analyze that process, and you also incorporate the readings from the course. You might consider changing the organization a bit and perhaps making a connection to your own creative/writing process.”

What specific steps would the chosen organisation take to deliver this strategy/approach? How would the chosen organisation ensure the approach stays on track? What else would they need to consider? Who else could they learn from?
