Primate Assignment
Directions.
For this assignment you will do research on two primate species whose names are printed on a sticker below. One is a prosimian and the other is an anthropoid. You are to answer the series of questions in this assignment using your text, the Internet and library reference books to find the information. I advise you to use all three of these. Among the very best sources to use to find information about your species is The Pictorial Guide to Living Primates by Noel Rowe. There are copies on reserve at both the Shatford Library (textbook reserve) and the Social Sciences Learning Center. The Internet and your textbook can help you with any concepts or terms that are unfamiliar to you or need clarification (many will be explained in lecture so make sure to come to class!). If you have a hard time locating the information for the assignment (particularly for the prosimian species which can be quite difficult) it is often a good strategy to gather information on closely related species. Be careful, howeverâ€â€not all closely related species are similar and you are graded on the accuracy of your answers. This means that you should be discriminating in your use of sources, especially the Internet. Make sure the sites you use are reliable! This assignment is worth 100 points (or 10% your grade). It must be filled out in pen or computer-printed (no pencil). You must turn in the original assignment form (with the label), even if you print another copy (in that case, staple the new copy to the original). If you have lost the original or were absent, contact the professor. It must be filled out in pen or computer-printed (no pencil). It is due in class on Wednesday, October 31. Good luck!
