2.00 Credits
Co-requisite: concurrent enrollment in ANT 302 Archaeology; or (with permission of instructor) prior completion of ANT 302. Students develop and enhance their skills in writing by preparing an actual National Geographic grant proposal for an archaeological project of their choosing. They select or design their own research focus and produce an abstract, pre-application, and final proposal using the real forms employed by the National Geographic Society. They then submit their materials for peer review by other students and review the work of other students in order to gain an inside perspective on the peer review process and how to present their work to others. Skills acquired will benefit students in any grant-writing or concept-selling context.
