SURVEYING THE LANDSCAPE Contributing productively to a conversation—academic or otherwise—means first looking to see what others in the conversation have said and developing something worthwhile to contribute; in these regards, you’ve mostly done your homework (figuratively and literally). But making your case successfully requires more than simply writing whatever pops into your head.   REVIEW  Earlier in the semester, we read Chapter 2: Rhetorical Analysis in Critical Reading, Critical Writing: A Handbook to Understanding College Composition. Back then, the point was to learn to read texts in context—to comprehend not only the words on the page but also the circumstances in which the text was produced, including the context it was written in, the audience it was written for, and the writer’s purpose in relation to that audience. This time around, we will revisit thinking rhetorically (thinking in terms of audience, purpose, and context), though with the intention of better understanding the rhetorical situation of your own project so that you might craft your essay to give it the best possible chance of success. If necessary to refresh your memory, review/reread Chapter 2  (Links to an external site.)  in Critical Reading, Critical Writing: A Handbook to Understanding College Composition. WATCH Watch the video, “What is Rhetoric”  (Links to an external site.) ; some of it will be review from the first unit, but most of it will help you in the next step below.  WRITE Write a 1-2-page reflection in which you break down your rhetorical situation accordingly: The context of your project: What various disciplines do the researchers writing about your topic publish their work in? What are the aims of those disciplines, and what issues, challenges, or controversies are those disciplines contending with? Which journals were your sources published in, and what are the particular interests of those journals? More broadly, what relevant issues, challenges, or controversies are taking place in the world outside of the scholarly communities you’ve invested? Your audience: Whom among the scholarly communities you mentioned above do you hope to reach with your project? What matters to them, and what do they currently know, think, or believe about your topic? Your purpose: What would you like the audience you identified for the bullet above to think, feel, or do about your topic as a result of reading your essay? What claim will you be making that they might potentially disagree with, and what competing claims will you have to contend with? Your strategy: In what ways might your audience object to your claim, and how might you address those objections? In what ways might you best appeal to your readers to persuade them of your claim? How might you best connect your claim with what matters to your audience? Where is the strength of your argument, and how might you emphasize that strength through the framing and execution of your essay? What kinds of appeals would your audience most likely find persuasive and how might you craft your essay to best meet their expecations? Requirements: Word doc, double spaced, 12pt font

Ethnography Project Description (Immigrant Life History): 20 points The ethnography project will draw on anthropological theories covered in discussions and readings as well as your own ethnographic research interests in the NYC community. This project will allow you to develop your own ethnographic and analytic skills. I encourage you to explore your own cultural interests with this project and to incorporate them into your research question. You are not allowed to research your own cultural/ethnic group. Guidelines Ethnographies are different from standard research papers. They tend to be more reflexive – they include the ethnographer’s experiences, biases, and interests – and they often have a narrative structure. They incorporate anecdotes, and interpret them with support from anthropological theory (relevant Literature) and demographic & statistical data. The arguments presented in ethnographies are supported by evidence from the author’s fieldwork experience and/or from scholarly literature. Unsubstantiated opinions should not be included as fact. Acquaint yourself with your target population and record all your notes throughout the research process. While you should feel free to creatively explore the ethnographic genre, you are required to include the following in your ethnography project: • Part I – Context (5 points) : Archival background data for target population (ethnic immigrant group) you will be researching in NYC Do not include demographic/historical data for the country/nation of origin. The purpose of this assignment is to build current community knowledge, designed to establish familiarity and connection to the group’s neighborhood and immigrant experience. Do Include: 1. Demographic Research – Identify the ethnic group you will be researching, as well as the neighborhood where they reside. Using the US Census Bureau website, American Fact Finder ), as well as others, write a 1-2 page report that examines the demographics of the group’s community. (Note: You will need to enter a zip code at the website to locate the relevant data.) Consider the social and economic characteristics of the community and other important factors, e.g., race, ethnicity, housing, education, language. 2. Statistical Research – Provide recent statistical data (including charts/graphs) that indicate immigration rates (as well as any recent changes in immigration from that group). Also, include data that may indicate issues with the acculturation/assimilation experience, including economic, educational, socio-political, etc.) Include at least 2 source websites for statistical/demographic data. 3. Relevant Related Literature: Anthropologists relate to and interpret their findings through other anthropological theory texts. as well as cultural, political social, historical attributes you discovered during your ethnographic research. you should list and summarize no fewer than 2 relevant scholarly resources that may include: a) anthropology reading from our class, related to the cultural group/issue you are addressing in your research. b) journal articles (from scholarly academic journals) c) book on your specific group and/or research topic/issue. • Part II – Methodology (5 points): An explanation of at least 3 ethnographic methods used (participant observation, semi-structured interviews, kinship and social network charting, mapping, fieldnotes, etc.) and a summary of outcomes for each of them. Include a detailed description of your methodology (Example: I employed participant observation at several sites (specify sites above) on _______(dates) and observed that________. The Life History Interview of an immigrant is required for this project. • Part III – Critical Analysis & Research Outcomes (5 points): Discuss the findings of your anthropological fieldwork, in the context of the relevant literature and data. You may use the following prompts to guide your analysis: 1. What did you learn about the immigrant experience, including acculturation and/or assimilation to American culture) for this group? 2. What makes this group’s immigration and/or acculturation/assimilation experience unique (discuss cultural differences, current socio-political context, race/ethnicity bias, economic considerations, etc.)? 3. What did you learn about immigration in the USA that you didn’t know before? How has that information changed or supported your current perspective of immigration policies in the USA? Explain. 4. Explain what makes your researchrelevant to the current research in this area? Your analytical essay should be double-spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. standard font, and including a bibliography. References should be done according to APA style.

See attachments for the full instructions & lecture notes It’s a group assignment so I only need help with my part which is the extensive literature review part and address: Are there any theories developed to improve understanding of the relevant systems in the effort to solve the problems? What kind of experimental and numerical techniques have been used? What are the key findings from these experimental and numerical studies? What problems have been solved?

The internet contains a plethora of resources for studying modern art, it’s history, and the importance of analyzing the various styles, techniques and traditions represented by modern art and architecture. This course contains four internet resource activities that will allow you to compare varied forms of visual experiences, discuss specific styles within a historical context as well as evaluate the art forms according to their form, content, and technique. Each activity’s goal/purpose is slightly different from the next; however, each will allow you to put into practice the analysis of modern art. For each activity, you will be provided with several videos and websites that you must view in order to complete the assignment. These resources are provided to you in the Reading & Study folder of the previous and current module in which the activity is due. Once you’ve completed all the items in the Reading & Study folder you will answer the questions provided below. These questions must be answered in complete sentences in a Word document. There is not a required word count but your answers must be substantial and provide details and examples to the questions presented. An ideal response would be a minimum of 75 words long. References are not required; however, if you do cite a source you must use APA formatting. Internet Resource  Activity 1: This activity encourages you to explore the fine artworks that are in your own community. Experiencing art in person changes the way it is interpreted and gives the viewer better insight to the meaning of the work. To begin, access and complete the internet resources in the Modules/Weeks 1 and 2 Reading & Study folders.  Next, answer the following questions based on your reading and viewing of internet resources:  1. What was the driving force for Eugene Delacroix and Theodore Gericault’s paintings? Give at least one example for each artist.  2. Name at least two museums who have paintings by members of the Hudson River School. Make sure to include the Museum name and location along with the artist and title of the painting for each. Have you had a chance to visit either museum in person or online? If so, what were your thoughts on the paintings? How do they relate with the material you’ve learned about this week? Please complete the following Module/Week 2 textbook reading assignments: Art History Volume II Chapter 30 Art in Spain and Spanish America Early Nineteenth-Century Art: Neoclassicism and Romanticism Gothic and Neoclassical Styles in Early Nineteenth-Century Architecture

According to the video, how does art reflect humanity’s “innate need to explore, to grow, to create” and why is it an important component in the development of a civilization?  Support your answer with 3 specific examples. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x74v0mw https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x74v0mw

– Review the most recent data on copper supply from the USGS: and consider the global supply of copper. a)              If demand for copper stays constant, how many year’s worth of production do the current global reserves represent?   b)            From that same USGS data source, you can find that in 2010, the global demand for copper was 15,900 thousand metric tons.  This global demand rose to 18,700 thousand metric tons per year in 2015.  What annual percentage growth in demand does this represent?   If demand for copper stays constant, how many year’s worth of production do the current global reserves represent? c)             If future demand continues to increase at the same rate as you found in part b, how many years will the current reserves last?  Hint – you can either integrate the demand as a mathematical function or you can adopt a numerical approach using a spreadsheet.

Students will select a work of art that we cover in class.  Students will write a 2 page paper that answers the following questions:  What is the background to the piece? (The artist’s background and purpose).  What is the meaning of the piece?  What was the intention of the artist?  What is the message the artist was meaning to convey?  This paper should be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment in D2L.  This submission should be primarily in your own words.  I am not concerned with what others think of the work of art, rather I want to see how you interpret the work.  As much as possible rely on your own words. The artist you’ll be writing about:Vincent Van Gogh (a dutch artist) MESSAGE FROM MY PROFESSOR: “I am not concerned with what others think of the art, rather I want to see how you interpret the work” Thank you

Select a painting or sculpture by the Italian Renaissance artist, Michelangelo, and discuss the artistic composition of the work and reasons why you selected this piece.
