Dear Writer,

I have a “Religion Fieldwork Project” and I did choose to write about Hinduism followed by the ensuing instructions:

1. The report will ask you to attend a ceremony you don’t need to do that. All I need is a report about a ceremony or a holly event about Hinduism that does match the following instruction.

2- If you could provide a location for the ceremony that you are going to write about I will be glad if not it’s totally okay

3- The interview at the end of this document has to be written as paragraph form no Answer-Question base.

Thank you

REPORT INFO:

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Choose a faith community to observe that is different from your own (if you belong to a faith community). This can be any place of worship or ceremony (e.g., church, synagogue, mosque, temple, pagan/wiccan community, Quaker meetinghouse, etc.) It can be a place where you know a member of the community or somewhere you have never been before. You may NOT observe a practice from your own religious denomination. If you are Christian, you are required to choose a non-Christian religion to study (for example, if you are Baptist, you cannot choose Catholicism since it is another Christian religion). You can search for locations by checking the internet or calling to find schedules for weekly services at the place you choose.

*Please note: You may not choose Scientology for this project.

2. Plan to attend 1 service or ceremony (weekly worship service, marriage, baptism, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, etc.) held at the place of worship. You can attend with someone you know, or you can choose to call ahead to let the congregation know about your assignment (recommended!) or find out the schedule and go to the service. When you arrive, be prepared to introduce yourself as a USF student completing an assignment on religion for an anthropology course. Be respectful and courteous and dress appropriately (avoid jeans, shorts, etc. that could be offensive in some places.

3. Observe what is happening in as much detail as possible. Some things to look for are the arrangement of the physical space and seating, the architecture and decoration, the kinds of activities taking place, the kind of people who are there (age, ethnicity, social class, gender, etc.), people’s verbal and non-‐‐verbal behaviors, and other manifestations of religious and cultural organization. Look for patterns. Where appropriate, talk to people there and let them know about your assignment and ask further questions or solicit an interview for the extra credit option explained below. On the same day you do the observation (very important!), write up your notes on your own behavior, feelings, and reactions, and findings (what you learned about the community and the faith traditions practiced there). It may not be appropriate to take notes during the service but be sure to do it immediately after you leave when you can recall the most details.

4. Based on all your observations and information gathered during your visit, use your notes to write up your Fieldwork Report. The report should be approx. 2-3 double-spaced pages in Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Include the following details:

-Brief description of where you went, when you were there, and why you selected that site. Include details such as the architecture, design and decor of the building, the types of people present (demographic observations on gender, age, ethnicity), the religious practitioner(s) present to lead the event, the content of the service/ceremony and the participation of the worshippers.

-A synthesis of your observations (notes), including patterns you identified and your own reactions. This should include your own analysis of what you observed, and thought was occurring during the service/ceremony.

-Your first impressions about the kinds of ideas and cultural values that you think are reflected in the patterns of behavior you identify.

-Any remaining questions you may have or information you feel you may be missing in order to understand the location and events you observed.

Interview a Member of the Faith Community Observed

You may choose to interview someone who participates in the religious/faith community that you are studying for this project. This might be someone you meet during your observation or someone in your family, neighborhood, workplace, university or other setting. Set aside at least 1 hour to speak with the person. Before the interview, draft a list of questions you plan to ask and bring with you.

Sample questions:

-How long have you been a member of this community?

-What motivated you to join the community?

-How often do you attend services/ceremonies with your community and where do you go?

-What are some of the main beliefs in your tradition?

-What are some of the main ceremonies in your tradition?

-What are some key symbols that are important to your faith?

-Why is your religion important to you?

-What would you like other people to know about it?

-Is there anything you have struggled with in your religion?

-Is your faith community experiencing any problems, changes, or conflicts? If so, please explain.

*Feel free to make up other questions on your own that interest you about the person or their tradition.

*During the interview, use your questions as a guide but feel free to add additional ones as the conversation unfolds. Take written notes during the interview and add more notes on your own thoughts and observations about the interview immediately after you finish (the longer you wait the less you will be able to recall accurately). Include a section of your final fieldwork report in which you present the results of your interview and label with a new heading. This section should be a minimum of 1 additional page (thus your final report with the interview will be 3-4 pgs. total).

Imagine you work at a company and it is time for an employee, Jim’s, annual review. While he was a model employee the first nine (9) months of the year, recently Jim has been coming in late. It has not been just a few minutes each day, either. It is starting to cause problems in the production line. In this assignment, write two (2) page summary of your conversation with Jim. How will you address his recent performance issues while still praising him for his previous nine (9) months of good work? Your goal is to balance the negative and positive feedback so that Jim will leave motivated to do his best.

Explain how you will address Jim’s recent performance issues.

1. Suggest both constructive and positive feedback designed so that Jim will leave motivated to do his best.
2. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Explain effective approaches to the broad spectrum of employee relations, including career development, fostering ethical behavior, discipline, labor relations, and dismissals.
• Analyze various techniques, considerations, and designs of performance appraisal programs.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in human resource management.
• Write clearly and concisely about human resource management using proper writing mechanics.

So now I need help with my Assignment Option 3) and I hope I can get a higher mark this time

This is my last time feedback for my Assignment Option 2). I only got 60% and I hope anyone who help me can read this.

Short Reflexive Essays feedback: – Your writing flows well, and you bring in evidence to support your ideas.
– Jargon and academic language does not demonstrate understanding of the ideas – it demonstrates a lack of understanding of the ideas, especially when you misuse it. When unpacking a concept, explain it like you would to a particularly adept five year old.
– Make sure that you cite sources that back up your points – one of your sources actually contradicts a point you were trying to make
– Left-aligned, 12pt Times New Roman font. Please make sure to refer to the assignment outline when formatting your work.
– Your latter paragraph is excellent, but would be made stronger with both the addition of sources to show how your experiences are atypical and the subtraction of the paragraphs previous that try to justify gendered segregation of labour biologically, contradicting it.
– You have good ideas, and clearly some understanding of course material, but you do not demonstrate it here.
