ANT 104: WORLD PREHISTORY PROJECT (
SUBMIT)
Every student will write one essay during the semester to contribute to our World Prehistory Project.
All essays will be posted to our website and evaluated by a class TA as well as another student using a standardized rubric to evaluate
content as well as a standardized rubric to evaluate
style.
Guidelines for ALL essays:
-
Your essay should explore the WHO, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY of the specific site/culture assigned to you (see
content guidelines).
-
Maximum length of essays is 300 words (not including references).
-
Quoted material is NOT allowed. This is a very short essay, and you are expected to use your own words and thoughts.
-
Minimum of three bibliographic references required.
-
You may use Wikipedia, but only as ONE of your references.
-
Bibliographic references must be formatted appropriately (see references guidelines).
-
A five percent bonus is available on your essay if you follow the instructions for your First Five extra credit points.
- All essays will be graded on both content and style:
- Content (64%)
- WHO? (16%)
- WHERE? (16%)
- WHEN? (16%)
- WHY? (16%)
- Style (36%)
- Punctuation and Grammar (12%)
- Organization (12%)
- References (12%)

Additionally, every essay will be reviewed for plagiarism. Any essay that contains quoted, unoriginal, or otherwise plagiarized material
will receive an automatic zero.
