Using the data compiled during your take-home assignments, each student will complete a species-specific term paper describing the conservation status of and threats to their primate species, as well as conservation action that has or is currently being taken to protect this species. The completed research paper is due on the day of the scheduled final exam for this class. Papers must be turned in online via TurnItIn (an online plagiarism checking site).
Papers should be a minimum of 8 pages for undergraduate students / 10 pages for graduate students (NOT including references). Please use 1” margins, 1.5 line-spacing and a standard 12 point font (Arial or Times New Roman only). You are required to use at least 20 primary resources (essentially two per assignment).
