5.7 - Discussion Board: Homo Sapiens (Graded Assignment)No unread replies.No replies.When we think of modern humans we often think of specific physical features along with cultural and linguistic attributes that define us. There are many things that we were not able to cover in this class that relate to our species. For this discussion board I would like you to look for a news article that specifically dealt with the prehistory of Homo sapiens. Your goal is to look for a news article that introduced a new discovery and for you to share it with the class. You will receive points for the following items:Give a short summary of the news article.Briefly explain what the discovery was about.Cite your news article.Respond to two other student posts.

You can choose to study an existing problem, or you can theorize about applying these tactics in a future career situation.Stay in the field of recreation; do not write about the Grateful Dead (or even mention them!).This is a fact-based paper; do not write about your beliefs, past experiences, feelings or opinions. Relate the book’s tenets to your chosen field. For example: Those in TR might look at how specific innovations have allowed you to better serve your clients (Ch. 7); event planners might explore how customer service is essential to a successful event (Ch. 3).Focus on depth, not breadth.Do not mention the Grateful Dead or you will lose 10%For every page under 5 that your paper is short, you will lose 10%If you submit your paper in anything other than Word format, you will lose 20%5 pages (not including references)3 references (Must be scholarly/academic sources; exceptions would be reputable news sources such as Business Week or The New York Times). APA format (double-spaced)Do not use contractions (do not instead of don’t; cannot instead of can’t)Provide a context – Do not assume your reader knows what you are talking about. Be clear about the topic and provide a thorough context objectively, not from a personal perspective. Provide detail – Any topic or idea you introduce needs to be explicitly connected to the broader paper. Make coherent transitions between thoughts – Link your thoughts together and make sure they are logically sequenced. Do not leave room for interpretation or leave out important details. Think about the implications of your investigation: Take the opportunity to see the potential benefits, or detriments, to your career field based on the topics you explore. Have a clear conclusion tied back to the purpose of your investigation. Do not just end your paper without providing a “wrap-up” and considering the parting thought or takeaway. Avoid the use of passive tense (where the subject is missing from the sentence). If you can insert “by zombies” after the verb in your sentence, then it is written in passive voice. “The vase got broken” (by zombies). Instead, “[Subject] smashed the vase.”Avoid pronouns with an unclear referent. Make sure the reader knows who you are talking about.In most cases, the subject of a sentence should be a topic rather than an author: Instead of, Jones (2018) said that “Dr. Harmon’s class is awesome” (p. 1), you could write, “It has been found that Dr. Harmon’s class is very informative” (Jones, 2018, p. 1).Semicolons are used to connect independent clauses; each part of the sentence must be able to stand alone. Class library website: uncg.libguides.com/ctr416Use Purdue OWL (online writing lab) for formatting. Watch your grammar (spelling, punctuation, verb confusion, syntax, etc.)Cite your references in-text and in your reference page (you must have at least 3) Use Purdue OWL for help in formatting your reference page (if needed)All papers are run through the plagiarization software Turnitin. If your paper comes through as having more than 25% unoriginal or insufficiently cited content, you will lose 20%. If it is 50% or more, you will receive a ZERO – no exceptions. DON’T PLAGIARIZE. If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.
