In your opening, you should have clearly stated how your observation was either descriptive or analytical and did that affect your data. See Sample A, first-third paragraphs to see how the writer explained their tendency to analyze and not just describe and what effect that had on their report.

Criteria B: Critique0-4Goal: 2-3+  Do you clearly state how your observation contains a distinction between description (just what you saw) and analysis ( it should be the first thing you discuss).  Did you describe or did you explain behavior?  How detailed and accurate did you describe behavior-consider what you know now versus October? How you have observed/described differently today vs then?  How can you accurately explain behavior before studying the methodology of Anthropology?

 Gender Bias: did you make analysis that was grounded in assumptions of gender roles?  Androcentric Bias : did you exclude the roles/actions of women or downgrade them in your observation.  Religious Bias : did the subjects or your religious beliefs affect your observation, description, and analysis?  Class Bias : did you value the people, behavior, and context that you observed? Did it affect your pre-conceived notions expectations?  TOK: expected outcomes determined your observation  CONFIRMATION BIAS  “Iceberg” tip of the iceberg  Materialist Bias : did your focus on the material goods people had prevent you from accurately describing their actions? Did it force you into assumptions about their class/social status?  Emic : insider point of view (its effect-assumptions). Were you too quick to assume a behavior rather than just describing it?  Etic : outsider point of view (its effect-see Sample A, did it affect subjects as well as your observation).

Criteria C: Focus, Assumptions, Bias 0-6 Goal 3-4+  This can be discussed in your Critique while you are explaining how your focused on description or analysis in Criteria B.  You must discuss the Nature of the Observation: Did how you conducted/set up/carried out your Observation affect negative/positively your Observation Report. Discuss/refer to where you were, YOUR POSITION, and how that influenced your Report (and subjects- and their behavior).  Consider how Lee did his Ethnography (but don’t necessarily reference him in your Critique), or Fernea or Schactman.  How did their positions/methods affect their observations?

Criteria D: 0-5 points Goal 3-4+  You have to demonstrate that you have gained an understanding of Anthropology over the course of this year.  This means you have to correctly/accurately/relevantly employ concepts and key terms from the text/ethnographies/class.  Show evidence of anthropological understanding and connect to your report/data.

Some concepts: 1. Structure : behavior is controlled/pre-determined 2. Agency : humans determine behavior free of influence or in resistance to it. 3. Identity : individual, groups, society (age groups/sets, gender, class, occupation, kinship, marriage, religion, globalization). 4. Language : Code Switching 5. Race/Ethnicity : did physical appearance determine/affect your observation 6. Conflict : subculture resistance/defiance vs. mainstream 7. Power and Authority : relevant structures conformity/non- conformity 8. Exploitation/Globalization : shopping at Walmart reinforces the low wages in developing countries and sends manufacturing jobs that were American away, thus reducing the middle class. 9. Taboos/Morals : did behavior conform or defy/break with mainstream cultural norms.
