Anthropology paper |Human Resource Management
For ten of the readings that we have this semester, you need to submit a reading response. Please keep in mind that you 1) must upload the responses to Blackboard before we discuss them in class and 2) you can only submit ten reading responses during the semester. The readings that you can respond to are marked with an RR on the syllabus. You may select any ten from those marked RR. Please note that not every reading can be responded to. For each response, you need to answer the following questions:
1. What is the main argument from the reading? You must find the exact quote or quotes from the author, and then describe the meaning of the argument. Be sure to explain the meaning of the argument in your own words.
2. What intrigued you about the reading? Select ideas, topics, methods, or key terms that intrigued you. Be sure to explain/define the item you selected in your own words. Also, be sure that you answer adds important details so that even someone who has not read the reading could understand the meaning of the idea/topic/method/key term.
3. What surprised, disturbed, or annoyed you (pick one) about the reading? Follow the same criteria as #2 but for things that surprised or annoyed you in the reading.
Your answers to each of these questions should be a full paragraph (~5-6 sentences) and contain page numbers from the reading where you obtained the information (the page number can be placed in parentheses). Please note: these reading assignments are not handed back since we spend part of the class period discussing the content of each reading. However, I will I grade your responses from 0-3 points. Here is the format for the grading:
3 points: the answers to all the questions were accurate, detailed and well connected to the course question(s).
2 points: the answers to two of the questions were accurate, detailed and well connected to the course question(s). One question, however, had errors or was not accurate enough.
1 point: the answers to one of the questions was accurate, detailed and well connected to the course question(s). Two questions, however, had errors or were not accurate enough.
0 Points: none of the questions were answered accurately or with enough detail.
