To achieve this goal, the bi-weekly tutorials focus on analyzing and discussing a series of debates among historians dealing with a variety of historical subjects. Without student participation, the tutorials will not function. Each student will submit two written assignments. The second written assignment is an essay which responds directly to an essay question linked to one of the historiographical debates found in the textbook. Drawing from relevant secondary sources, the ideal essay will present a thesis statement, supportive evidence, and a conclusion, all in a clear, logical writing style.
Students are to select one of the questions from the list prepared by the instructor.
Only FOUR students may write on anyone topic. Late assignments will be penalized ten marks . No paper prepared for another class can be submitted for credit. The department of history considers plagiarism to be a very serious offense.
