he second piece of summative assessment in Reconstructing Past Environments is a

he second piece of summative assessment in Reconstructing Past Environments is a Data Analysis exercise worth 60% of the overall module mark. You will produce an individual 2000-word scientific report using a range of palaeoenvironmental data from a Dartmoor. For this assessment you will use the data to develop an age depth model, calculate percentages and concentration for pollen, charcoal and spore data.
You can use Microsoft Excel to complete the calculations and freeware R or C2 to produce stratigraphic plots. Instructions on how to download R are available on the ELE page of the module. All analyses and plots can be done in R using packages CLAM and Rioja. C2 is a stratigraphic plotting software alternative but it requires a Windows operating system. In Mac computers C2 can be installed within a virtual Windows machine, e.g. Parallels Desktop. If this is not available to you, you have the option to use University Windows computers in Hatherly B12. Using C2 is not a requirement as all stratigraphic plotting can be conducted in R, which is freely available for both Windows and Mac computers.
Lecture PowerPoint slides and resources therein and additional readings posted on ELE are relevant for this coursework. You are encouraged to review all lecture materials, including introductory lecture in week 1, as a starting point for your literature review. The assessment guideline document includes a brief reference list to further support your reading, but you are expected you to show initiative and undertake a wider literature search to identify new sources of information for your report.

The purpose of the project is to delve deeply into a geographical analysis of the environment and society in a place I know well: my home town Hyderabad, India
The paper should be united by a clear thesis or research question (already part of the proposal). Please make sure you read and liberally use the proposal and the other notes already submitted for this project before starting this paper. The final paper should be 10-12 pages in length, APA citations, 12 point Times roman, double spaced, page number at the bottom of each page, and include the following components: 1. Introduction (~1 page): State the location that you studied and why it interests you. Either here or in your conclusion, specifically consider your relationship to this “place.” What aspects of it defy measurement, but make it real to you or other individuals who know it well? Briefly summarize what we will read in the rest of the paper, and introduce the argument or thesis that you will make. (~ 1 page) 2. Overview of physical geography (~3 pages): This section can be relatively short, up to three pages of text. Do your best to vividly describe the landscape in detail (for example, it has rolling hills, or is built on a series of inlets), including the climate type, the underlying geology, and/or flora and fauna. Try to make this section as engaging as possible. Cite outside resources to include information beyond what you already know. Please use pictures or google map images if possible.
3. Human habitation over time (~2 pages): Discuss how humans have changed the environment in this place, from the earliest settlement to the present. This can include descriptions of historical land use and development, agriculture, transportation, industry, etc. Did different sets of populations arrive to the region at different times? Are there legacy land uses such as intensive agriculture or mining that have left an imprint today? Be sure to cite information to demonstrate it is based on reliable data. 4. The place today (~2 pages): What is the location like today? Consider transportation, housing, key economic sectors, and demographics. Does the area have environmental plans in place, such as to reduce carbon emissions, restore a watershed, or increase recycling? 5. Identify and assess a key environmental concern (~2 pages): Within the context presented in the preceding sections, identify a contemporary environmental issue in your town. What is the issue, and who are the stakeholders? Critically examine the concern: what are its sources and impacts, and how do you recommend stakeholders—including policymakers—proceed? 6. Conclusion (~1 page): Summarize your findings and argument. Then let them lead you to a set of clear, succinct conclusions. This may include specific recommendations for your area and/or implications of your site for broader issues taking place at a regional, national, or global scale. The use of relevant data in the form of tables, maps, images, or graphs is encouraged and does not count toward the page total. Remember that visuals should always be discussed clearly in the written text, be cited appropriately, and include captions. Visuals should not replace textual analysis, but rather supplement them. All data and arguments should be based on reliable source material. Primary sources, including newspapers, census data, or historical data, are of particular interest. Papers should include atleast 10 sources, with five of these coming from academic sources (such as peer-reviewed journals) or formal government data, such as census data (already part of the annotated bibliography section of the proposal)
This assignment fulfills the GPAC Tier One requirements on “Critical Thinking.” The paper is due via Blackboard, where it will be automatically reviewed for plagiarism. The paper will be evaluated based on the following rubric: Paper component Effectively answers each part of the prompt, including offering accurate information about environmental and social context in the focus site (GPAC attribute A) Analysis is based on clear evidence drawn from at least 10 sources (GPAC attribute A) Offers the students’ own critical analysis of the topic and scholarly literature on it (GPAC attribute B) Presents a clear argument or thesis, based on evidence (GPAC Attribute C) Follows formatting guidelines and has minimal textual errors Points (20 total)

Assignment 3: The Presentation – Due Week 7
Project Overview:
This is part of a 3-PART SERIES OF ASSIGNMENTS on the SAME topic. Assignment #1 – the Bibliography (submitted Week 3). Assignment #2 – the Outline – is due Week 5. Assignment #3 – the Final Presentation – is due Week 7. You’re building this project throughout all three Assignments, using the same or similar topic.
For this project, you’ll choose a topic and then research how four geographic concepts are related to and affect your topic. Instead of presenting your research as a traditional paper, you’ll use PowerPoint to create a narrated presentation. Your presentation will be structured like a paper, including a title, introduction to the topic, main body, summary and conclusions, and references. Creative use of properly cited graphics and photos from the Internet relevant to your topic is required.
First, choose a topic! Topics must be a food item, cuisine, invention, or idea with a SUPER CLEAR REGION OF ORIGIN. Do some investigation of the 4 required elements (see below) before you settle on one topic. If you’re not sure if your desired topic is appropriate, please feel free to ask!
Your topic must be analyzed through these 4 required elements to determine how each of these geographic concepts affects or is related to your topic: 1. Regions 2. Cultural Landscape 3. Diffusion 4. Distance decay. The first two concepts are covered in the first chapter of your textbook. Diffusion is covered in Chapter 8, Section 2. Distance decay refers to the fact that influence and interaction between locations decreases as the distance between them increases. As such, it has a significant influence on how things change as they diffuse away from their point of origin. Be sure to address these specific geographic terms and concepts in your work. You don’t need to address them in this order, but you do need to address all of them. You may use “subsets” of these definitions (e.g., contagious diffusion) if such subsets exist. Be sure to refer to your text and other reliable resources to ensure you completely understand these concepts. You should be detailed in your treatment of these concepts – for instance, you should explain both how and why your choice varies by region, and how and why it has been affected by distance decay. Remember that geography, as an academic discipline, seeks to explain why things vary from place to place, not just describe how they do.
Assignment #3 Objective: Develop an audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation based on the research you have conducted about your chosen topic. All APUS students have access to PowerPoint and the rest of Microsoft Office (for Windows or MacOS) as listed in the Course Guidelines & Resources page. NOTE: Students who are having difficulty completing the narration should contact the instructor as soon as possible.
Assignment Instructions: Using the course project steps completed to date, you will develop your presentation based on the work you submitted for Assignments 1 and 2 as well as the feedback you were given.
To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:
Read these directions carefully.
