This analysis may require The textbook “Among Cultures. The Challenges of Communication,” 2nd ed. by Bradford J. Hall, 2005 Wadsworth Cengage Learning.

Here were my professors instructions:
Assignment:

View a full length feature/indie film or documentary pertaining to a culture you have interest in but know little about. There are some suggestions for film choices and trailers in Module 7, but you are not limited to that list. Films can be viewed via the Internet, Netflex, Pay per view, in a movie theater, etc.

Watch the film with a friend (preferably from another culture), or family member, or your group members (together or separately), if you chose that option, and have a conversation about it afterwards. For the paper, write about the more interesting aspects of your shared observations and insights about the film and the culture being depicted. What did you learn about this culture from viewing the film that you didn’t know before?

Incorporate 3-5 class concepts/terminology from a variety of course material found in ch’s 4, 5 (optional) in the text, module 3, student discussion posts that are represented in the film in a way that demonstrates your understanding of course material.

Papers are to be 14 size font in Word, 2-3 pages single-spaced (longer if in a group) not including the title page. Put page breaks between pgs. and number them. Use direct quotes or paraphrases from text/mod’s/posts, rather than a single word (i.e. “communication”) that show a connection between what we’re studying and the events/characters/highlights, etc. of the film.

Put these course concepts in bold print and include the author and page #, e.g. (Hall, 24) or mod. #, e.g. (Josselyn, Mod. 3), or some other source from mod’s. directly after the citation in the body of the paper, with a bibliography as well (see below).

A bibliography is required for all class papers to provide complete information about the sources (Hall and Josselyn) you cited within the paper. Use appropriate bibliographic citations (either APA or MLA style sheets) when citing sources including our text & modules. You can use the bibliography in module 8 as a model.

Activity:
– Students will create two research flyers this semester. The research topics will be announced in class.
– Students will research topics at the local, regional, national, or international levels.
– This assignment involves researching a topic and producing a flyer to be used in a public awareness display on a bulletin board at south campus.

Each assignment should include the following on one side of a piece of paper:
– Title
– An image in the form of a diagram, map, or statistics (graph, chart, table) that displays information regarding the research topic. All flyers must have a diagram, map or statistics as the main image. Photographs/pictures can only be used as a supplement to the main image.
– Paragraph of information – written in your own words – include summary statement(s), elaboration with a geographic analysis, and a concluding statement(s) – The written part should be at least 200 words.
– Bibliography/Works Cited – It is okay to use only one source. Use MLA style documentation. It is often difficult to find all of the information on a website for a full works cited. The minimum amount of information you need for this class is: Title of the website. Date Retrieved. Full web address.
o Example: Western Kentucky University. Retrieved 8 Mar 2011. www.wku.edu.
– No names on the front of the flyer. Put your name on the back lightly in pencil.
– Compile your research on a one-page flyer to be displayed at a public awareness activity. The works cited should also be on the one-page flyer. If you have trouble fitting everything on one page, then you could make your margins smaller (.5” on all sides), decrease the font size of the works cited, make the image a little smaller (be sure you can still interpret the information), or use a larger piece of paper.
– See example on the next page.

Assessment:
– Use proper English, in other words, incorrect grammar and spelling will result in point loss.
– Well thought-out and designed flyers will receive the most credit. Rushed, incomplete, non-college work will receive little or no credit.
– The image (diagram, map, or statistics) needs to be legible and relevant to the written information.
– Students can bring a rough draft by for evaluation of content prior to the due date. This will ensure a higher grade and inclusion in the display.
– Students who need writing and proofreading assistance should use the LAC, the TLC, or the Writing Center.
– Remember, in research writing, do not use the first person, or words like hope, believe, wish, think…
– Use a reliable website, for example, do not use Wikipedia or a blog. Examples of reliable websites include the CIA Factbook, BBC, PBS, most university websites, academic journals, and many government websites.
– For assistance with bibliography/works cited, use the website Son of Citation Machine, see instructor, or go to the LAC or TLC.
– Only error free flyers will be used in the display.

Application
Mini-Project: Coding Using NVivo

While hand-coding is one way to organize your data, you may also want to take advantage of software programs that facilitate the coding process. For this week’s activity, you will take the interview data that you collected individually, and code it using NVivo, which is one such software program. You will then compare your experiences with hand-coding and software coding, and reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of using a program like NVivo.

This is an individual assignment. Each researcher will code his or her own interview data.

To prepare for this Application:

Review the required reading for this week.
Using data collected from your interviews, code the data using NVivo.
The assignment:

Apply principles of coding to using software to code data.
Submit your coding structure and some kind of sample documentation (e.g. screen shots) showing supporting codes.
Write 2-3 pages analyzing your coding experience using NVivo. What was it like? What were the challenges you faced? What are some advantages and disadvantages of using software to code data for qualitative research?

Use one of the articles in Signs of Life in the U.S.A. that we have not read for class as the basis for further analysis of a subject. In your paper, you must discuss the article and show the way that your work develops out of the article, as well as the way that further research and thought have taken your work in a particular direction. Though the assignment gives you plenty of latitude for developing an argument about a subject that interests you, you must connect your work to the article in Signs of Life. Papers that do not mention or use the article that forms the foundation for the paper will automatically fail.

Important to your success is spending significant time skimming some articles in Signs of Life and reading others more thoroughly so that you find one that raises questions and possibilities for your writing. Choose an article that raises interesting questions that you wish to pursue: avoid the temptation to choose an article just because you like the subject in general or because you think that you have found something “easy” to write about. A term paper assignment tests your ideas to think and to develop ideas independently, and your paper will be stronger when you find something important and interesting to add to the conversation.

In order to see whether you are on track and to provide guidance for your term paper, I want you to submit a proposal for the paper. It is due April 15. Include the following in the proposal:
· The author, title, and page number of the article from Signs of Life that will form the basis for your paper
· A discussion of about 200 words in which you detail 1) the question or issue that the article raises for you and 2) the argument that you tentatively plan to pursue in your paper

The paper is due May 13 as part of the Portfolio Assignment. It should be 1800-2400 words. We will discuss research and integrating research into papers late in the semester, but you need to be aware that I will be evaluating your research using the following criteria:
· a minimum of five sources, no more than one of which may be an Internet source (if you do not provide secondary research for the term paper, then you will automatically fail the assignment)
· a Works Cited or References page using APA or MLA documentation format
· the ability to integrate relevant, appropriate quotations smoothly into your argument
