ANT 469 Ethnohistory Seminar
Presentation Guidelines

Students will be evaluated for each seminar presentation by the following criteria. Please note carefully what is expected for each presentation. It is not acceptable in a seminar to simply tell the class what they have already read. Summarize the common readings quickly and move on to the implications of the readings and how your own research interests are enhanced by what you have read. Note that everyone in the group receives the same grade for the presentation so it is important that the group work together closely.

Even if you are not presenting you must be prepared for the seminar. The behavior of the entire group effects the grade of the presenters.
