Immunology

Rationale:
One of the best ways to gain a deep understanding of a complex subject is to engage with it creatively.  With recent technological innovations people can access information in a wide variety of ways, many of which can be extremely useful tools for learning that complement traditional class-room based learning.  This assignment provides you with the opportunity to work with your peers in the creation of a video or audio podcast.  Working as part of a creative team on a project with a clear goal will also help to develop your team-working skills.

Brief:
You are required to produce a video or audio podcast that describes and/or represents in some way a brief summary of the interaction between the innate and the adaptive immune systems in the human body.  Submit your podcast digitally and include a paper copy of the bibliography of texts used to inform the podcast referred to using the Harvard referencing system outlined in Pears and Shields (2010) Cite them Right. 8th edn.  London: Palgrave Macmillan.

The Indian Act

In this “learning Journal”, you need to focus on the effects of the imposition of the Indian Act, it’s effects on Native Identity  and those excluded from it, based on readings. This paper is to show you have engaged in the readings that you can explore/analyze the different experiences of communities subordinated to the Indian Act as well as those who lose status, and the different ways in which Native People are classified.

Federally Unrecognized Communities

explore the question of federally unrecognized communities.  You can focus on the Algonquins in Ontario (using the entirety of the book “Fractured Homeland”) or you can choose an American Indian Tribe and focus on their experience with federal recognition. You can focus on the tribes that were never recognized and struggled to get it, such as the Mashantucket Pequot, the Mashpee Wampanoag, the Poarch Lake Creeks, the Tunica Biloxi, the Jena Choctaws and many more.  There are also tribes that have split over questions of recognition – include the Seminole Nation of Florida (federally recognized)  and the Independent Seminole Nation (federally unrecognized).  There are also bands who once were federally recognized but then were “terminated” such as the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin and many of the California Rancherias.  You can start by googling “Federal Recognition” or “Federal Acknowledgment” or “Unrecognized Tribes” and go from there.

Inferring dentition and diet in extinct great apes by looking at extant great apes

The aim of the research proposal:
Making inferences about the dentition and diet of extinct great apes from the Miocene by looking at the dentition and diet of extant great apes including bonobo, chimpanzee and gorilla …
– dentition should include micro-wear on teeth and time of micro-wear;
– diet should include changes in habitat and environmental variability, nature of diet and dietary changes, and nature of and reliance on fallback foods; and
– interpretations of similar proposals/studies …
Concluding: What characteristics/relationships exist between dental development, diet and life histories of extinct and extant great apes?

Who (such as firms, individuals, regulators, other stakeholders) are involved? What stakes do they each have?
Are there lessons we can learn from your Marketing in the Media 2013 selection?

Visual material can be instructive – screenshot, copy of an advert (if you have selected an advert), headline, etc. – but be judicious. You can exclude the visual material from the word count.
Ensure you have addressed the common submission requirements for both assignments (p. 20).
