Two papers will involve work with the computer. These exercises are essential in organizing information and improving basic skills of historical inquiry. Papers must be neatly typed or word processed. Papers must be completed when due. Since they constitute that week's seminar discussion, late papers cannot be counted as a normal part of course work.
Students are responsible for their own work.
While you can discuss readings and assignments with each other, the work turned in must be your own. Grading is based upon performance in reading, writing, and discussion. At the option of the instructor, an examination may be given at the end of the semester. Final grades, therefore, are the cumulative product of the written exercises and all class work. We will meet, when scheduled, in the History Department's electronic classroom, Hebert 200.
