AE Start/Continue Thinking about Your Semester Project. Your Class Research Project = (1) Presentation + (2) Term Paper

Your Semester Project
[click ↑ here]

For your Class Project, start with something that you, personally, are interested in, and we’ll work things out from there.

This Project is something

with which you should be able to have fun.

It’s a good time to have at least a quick look at the information for your class project, which you can find at <https://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/troufs/anth3635/ceproject.html#title>. Your class Project is your Term Paper, plus a short “work-in-progress”.

Your Informal Project Statement, or Project Proposal, is due by the end of Week 4. Basically that’s a short informal summary personal statement of what you are interested in doing, how you think you might go about it, and what resources you are thinking about using. It can be as simple as the following:

“For my project I’m thinking about X, or Y, and these are the items I’m thinking about using [add short list]. This is why I’m interested in this/these project(s) [add your reason(s)]. . . .

It is an informal statement. A more formal statement will come later on, in a couple of weeks.
