Observation Report
The observation report asks you to describe your observations and one interview among members of a Buddhist community, recorded at a local worship site and related to the observations of an author who has observed a similar traditions in Asia. You write for a peer (vs. a specialist) who is unfamiliar with the topic, possibly for one of the people mentioned in a scenario from one of the application exercises. NOTE: half a dozen student Observation Reports will be assigned as readings for the final TRA and application exercise.

Really *REALLY* Major, Incredibly Important Reminder That You Really Should Read NOW
(This is NO JOKE!)
As noted in the syllabus, I will generally elect severe penalties for academic dishonesty: a **ZERO SCORE** for the assignment, and *FAILING THE COURSE* for a second offense. Inclusion of material from uncited sources--including an internet site or another student's paper--is the most obvious form of plagiarism in paper writing.You are responsible for reading my comments regarding the importance of academic honesty, and my no-tolerance policy for incidents of dishonesty, in FAQ #10-13; as well as for requesting clarification if there is anything you do not understand.
