Course-Based Research Assignment: Human Variation Infographic (ANTH 340)

Abstract

This assignment was developed for ANTH 340: Human Variation and Evolution, but can be adapted to other subject areas where communicating complex material to the public is a learning goal. The first document are the guidelines for the infographic. The second is a task list that students generated during an in-class activity to focus their research strategies and plan the timeline for completing their infographic. This document was edited to include specific tasks they forgot. The third are requirements for a team contract that they developed after assessing the tasks and putting them onto a calendar. As a class, we created the rubric for the assignment, which I edited and put into a fillable PDF form, attached as the fourth document. The final document is an assessment of their group that was used as part of their grade.
