Drugs Across Cultures Assignment -

Title: Outline for a critical essay providing an analysis of a case study on drugs.

The assessments in this course will help you develop your writing skills and will give you a chance to receive detailed feedback and learn from your mistakes. This first assessment task asks you to produce a detailed outline of your research essay, a fully-written introduction section, and a complete set of references for your essay.

Instructions - In no more than 800 words (not including references) write an outline for a critical essay providing an analysis of a case study on drugs. Provide a full reference list and FULLY WRITE OUT (don't just outline!) your INTRODUCTION section (only!). This will ensure that you receive feedback on both your writing style as well as the thematic organisation of your ideas.

Choose your case study from the following four options:

Option 1: Dwyer, R. 2011. 'Chapter 1: The social life of smokes: Processes of exchange in a heroin marketplace' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 2: Race, K. 2011. 'Chapter 2: Party animals: The significance of drug practices in the materialisation of urban gay identity' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 3: Keane, H. 2011. 'Drugs that work: Pharmaceuticals and performance self-management' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 4: Any chapter from Marc Lewis. 2011. Memoirs of an Addicted Brain: A Neuroscientist Examines His Former Life on Drugs. PublicAffairs.

Use the following questions to guide you in writing your essay outline.

What issues are raised by your case study?
How do they relate to topics covered in class and weekly readings so far? (Obviously, you'll be able to include more theories / readings in your essay than you will in your outline, since we will have covered more material by then.)
What are the complex social processes and relations that surround the production and consumption of drugs?

Essay Instructions -

This assessment task is about showing how you can take the theories and concepts introduced in the ANTH106 lectures and required readings and apply those theories and concepts critically to material (i.e. your case study) to analyse that case. It builds on the skills learned in the essay outline and will also assess how you incorporate comments and feedback to improve your writing. You will use the case study chosen for the essay outline to write a complete essay.

Instructions - In no more than 1200 words (including in-text citations and footnotes, but NOT including references) write a critical essay providing an analysis of a case study on drugs.

Use the same case study you chose for the essay outline. While you will use the same concepts / ideas / references / theories and theorists from your essay outline, we expect you to include theories and concepts from the entire unit to show how your understanding of the unit material has matured.

Your case study will be selected from one of the following options (Remember you're using the SAME CASE STUDY as for the essay outline):

Option 1: Dwyer, R. 2011. 'Chapter 1: The social life of smokes: Processes of exchange in a heroin marketplace' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 2: Race, K. 2011. 'Chapter 2: Party animals: The significance of drug practices in the materialisation of urban gay identity' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 3: Keane, H. 2011. 'Drugs that work: Pharmaceuticals and performance self-management' in Fraser and Moore (eds), 2011. The Drug Effect: Health, Crime and Society. Melbourne: Cambridge U Press.
Option 4: Any chapter from Marc Lewis. 2011. Memoirs of an Addicted Brain: A Neuroscientist Examines His Former Life on Drugs. PublicAffairs.

Use the following questions to guide you in writing your essay outline.

What issues are raised by your case study?
How do they relate to topics covered in class and weekly readings?
What are the complex social processes and relations that surround the production and consumption of drugs?

Structure and writing styles are as important as content when writing an essay. Two weeks before the essay outline is due your convener will hold an essay-writing workshop during lectures. You will submit your essay online through the Turnitin link provided on iLearn. See details in the section ‘Important information’. Use the same case study you chose for the essay outline. While you will use the same concepts / ideas / references / theories and theorists from your essay outline, we expect you to include theories and concepts from the entire unit to show how your understanding of the unit material has matured.

Using the essay outline, write your argument (body) and conclusion in full. Rewrite your introduction taking additional material and marker feedback into account. Find and use a minimum of two external, peer-reviewed sources in addition to the theories / required readings from ANTH106. (You can draw on the 'additional readings' in the unit outline for your 2 external sources.) Structure and writing styles are as important as content when writing an essay. You are encouraged to have a peer read a draft of your essay and provide feedback on your organisation and written expression. You will submit your essay online through the Turnitin link provided on iLearn (i.e. in the same way you submitted the essay outline assignment).

Word limits - The essay outline has an 800 word limit and the essay has a 1200 word limit. Include the word count for your paper on the cover page. Papers that exceed the word limit will be deducted 1 percentage point for each 10 words over the limit. For both essay outline and essay the word count excludes the list of references at the end of the paper, and it excludes the title, but it includes the in-text citations. So, when you submit your word count, just count the words that form the body text of the essay or essay outline.

Please take the word limit very seriously and try to make your argument concisely and clearly. The word limit is designed to level the essay-writing field, so to speak: it is unfair to fellow students if one person has much more space to argue their case while another student sticks firmly to the length guidelines. Essays and outlines are submitted via Turnitin which you can access from the Turnitin link on the iLearn page for ANTH106, under the Essay tab. You can only submit your essay (or outline) once, so make sure you choose the correct file when you submit.
