This guide supports anthropology students and faculty @ UF, with course specific guides and resources for success!

GenEd Requirement

This course fulfills General Education requirement in both Diversity (D) and Social and Behavioral Sciences (S) subject areas. Furthermore, it fulfills 6,000 of the total 24,000 words required for graduation. Follow these links for more information on UF's General Education and Writing Requirements

To receive writing credits students must achieve a minimum grade of 'C' (2.0) AND satisfactory completion of the writing component.

Finding Resources

A number of search engines exist for helping you find the right resources for your research. I recommend using Google Scholar to find academic articles. If you are on campus, or off campus and logged in using the UF VPN client, you will have instant access to electronic resources (e-books and e-journal articles). Furthermore, you can search in one of our anthropology databases for research articles and other information; check out the right column on this page to see some of the most frequently used databases for this class. 

Google Scholar Search

To find specific books, head to the Library Catalog (see widget below for helpful tips). If you are trying to get ahold of a book we don't have, you can request it via the Florida state-wide UBorrow system within the UF Library catalog. Books and articles we don't have can also be requested via our Inter-library Loan system. Both services are free for students, staff, and faculty.

The McGill Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies offers a list of academic journals that engage with Gender, Sexuality and Feminist studies, organized by the different fields/disciplines to which they relate.

Style and Citation Format

When editors or teachers ask you to write in APA Style®, they are referring to the editorial style that many of the social and behavioral sciences have adopted to present written material in the field. 

Annotated Bibliographies

An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources, each of which is followed by a brief note or “annotation.”

Writing Help

The University Writing Program helps undergraduate students at the University of Florida achieve their academic and professional goals by offering broad-based instruction in composition.
