Quiz Page Instructions

Welcome! After carefully reading your textbook chapter (at least twice!) feel free to take the quiz associated with the chapter, by clicking on the quiz buttons at the bottom of each lesson page. When you finish please remember to email the answers to yourself by putting your correct email address in where indicated.

(Note: all material taken from Ellenbaum and Chidester (2004) MANUAL. and based upon the textbook HEIDER'S SEEING ANTHROPOLOGY (2004)).

Attention: at the bottom of each quiz the last answer will be for your one sentence summary of the film clip ethnography that goes with each chapter. You are supposed to watch one film per chapter. The video vhs or the cd film collection is included with the purchase of your Heider textbook Seeing Anthropology: Cultural Anthropology Through Film (2004). A schedule of the films to be viewed is listed below. A typical one sentence summary would be similar to this " the film was about the Nuer tribe of Western Africa, whose total subsistence is devoted to the care of their cattle livestock; they eat their meat, wear clothes, cook with the dung of the animal, and even drink a small portion of their blood mixed with milk for religious ceremonial rites." {2 quiz pts. per each film}. Please note that to get a correct quiz score you must include the titles of the films as they are shown below in your answer.

WEEK: CHAPTER TO READ: FILM(S) TO VIEW:
1 Chapter 1 "The Goddess and the Computer"

A quiz value of 2 pts. will be assigned to each quiz for a complete sentence describing the film. Please do not include comments such as "I liked the film , it was cool" etc. I require you to include some details about the movie in the one sentence summary! This is not a Siskel and Roper film review. Just include "the facts" for complete quiz credit!

Thanks and enjoy the class....Dr. G. Akers, Ph.D.
