Unexcused absences will result in a lower grade . The following smaller written assignments will be completed over the course of the semester, many of which will be designed to assist each student in the preparation and writing of the research paper. Early in the semester, students will submit a 1-page prospectus that describes their topic for the research paper. The prospectus should explain the historical problem or question you wish to address, and the type of sources you will examine in your research. A handout will be distributed outlining the expectations and topics for this assignment.
All assignments are due as stated in the syllabus.
No extensions will be granted. Late papers will receive grade reductions. Richard D. Brown, Major Problems During the Era of the American Revolution . Gordon S. Wood, The Radicalism of the American Revolution , Introduction, pp. Wood, Radicalism of the American Revolution , pp.
