You must complete all written work and take both examinations to pass the course. Failure to complete any element by the due date may mean that you fail the course. All papers must be your own work. Assignments are only accepted in hard-copy format, i.e., I do not accept electronic versions. When in any doubt, consult me.
All late work is penalized.
Any changes made to the syllabus will be announced in class and posted on the course web-page. On Wednesday 8th September there will be a 10 minute map quiz. Writing papers gives you an opportunity to think like a historian and to make judgements. This is important. I want to know what you think - I own the books and don't need a summary of their contents.
