FINAL PROJECT THERE IS NO FINAL EXAMINATION DURING FINALS WEEK. INSTEAD STUDENTS WILL WRITE A FINAL 4-5 page RESEARCH ESSAY. FINAL PAPER POINTS TOWARD COURSE GRADE—200 The purpose of this essay requires you to contemplate one of the most basic of human fundamentals, that is, why humans live where they do. In this exercise you are required to compare and contrast in an essay the African diaspora with one of the other migrations covered in the assigned text, Migrations and Culture. Above average papers will include discussion of the excerpt in Bentley Sources from the Past, Olaudah Equiano on the Middle Passage. NOTE: Students also may wish to personalize their report by selecting their own family as a case study representing the larger picture. While interviews with relatives are relevant, you must also make an effort to go beyond the merely anecdotal. That is, you must cite baptismal records, boat manifests, immigration papers etc. The assigned readings and lectures will provide you with the historical context. Although you are free to bring in any outside information you so choose, you are not expected to do so. FORMAT: You may use “Author Date” citations with an accompanying reference list or the footnote-endnote system. In terms of format I prefer the Chicago Manual of Style, but you may use whatever system with which you are the most comfortable subject=citationstyles&_ga=1.38791524.69248615 4.1420478872 Use MS Word 8 ½ x 11 layout and 12 font double spaced and when finished place a digitized copy in the Assignment box on D2L.
