History 2
|
This course is a survey of the history of “the West” from around the seventeenth century to the present. This is a huge story and while much of what we talk about in here may seem quite detailed, we will only be scratching the surface. The weekly topics listed in the course schedule should give you a general idea of the subjects considered in this class.
SyllabusHere's the syllabus from a past version of this class
I utilize a number of films in this class and the students will compile a film log -- their notes from the films -- to help them study the material presented.
Supplemental Texts
CitationsChicago (Turabian) Manual of Style Quick Guide: For all assignments in my history classes you are required to cite every source you use (quoted, paraphrased, referenced, or based upon). You MUST use the footnote (referred to here as "Notes and Bibliography) format in your papers. I require all written assignments to include a Works Cited page -- not a Bibliography or Reference page. If you do not know the difference, be sure to ask in class.
Any paper not including citations will receive a zero (0). Any paper not including a properly formatted Works Cited page will receive a zero (0). Discussion Forum
Students should sign up for, and participate in the on-line discussion forum for this class. Normally, on-line discussions represent extra credit assignments.
