1 -- Evaluation Form for TASK _5_(Report)
GROUP
LEADERS: WRITE NAMES USING BLOCK LETTERS; COMMENTS ON BACK.
Students' writing style
should accommodate to stereotypical U.S. academic papers. Thus,
as to:
- form:
the essay should be neat (see the format illustrated at the
bottom of this page), legible (use a computer if possible),
and in "U.S. academic style". Note: U.S. academic
style calls for language that is semi-formal: (use
colloquialisms only for effect) and precise (use standard
disciplinary terminology and conceptual references); in addition, it
calls for argumentation that is explicit and step-by-step
(first announce your conclusions and your premises, then give your
empirical evidence, then -- reasoning inductively -- draw the
announced conclusions from the evidence). It should be two
pages long, no more than three, using the format indicated on the
class web site for the explanation of "Task 3".
POINTS:
0 = not neat/legible and/or not U.S. academic style;
1 = neat/legible and U.S. academic style.
-
content:
to be considered of scientific value, the report must:
a.)
indicate a hypothesis about one of the traits of the target culture
and must formulate two
series of
apparently natural questions to test it;
b.) justify why -- in
theory
--
those questions are valid: why should they, in principle,
reveal
the position (on the
cultural dimension line) of a subject from the target culture?
c.)
describe the informants interviewed and the results. Was the
prediction confirmed?
Were questions
asked both as one's double and as oneself? Was there a different
rapport?
POINTS:
1
point for (a), (b) and (c).
-
geniality:
1 extra point for a particularly
brilliant report (ingenious reasoning, highly
perceptive
observations, etc.); if not 0.
