Your name, your paper title and the date should appear in the top right hand of the page. Pages should be numbered, and must be stapled. A complete bibliography of works cited should always be included. Students are required to write two papers, each one will be 4-6 pages. One must involve primary texts written before 1898.
Students can self-select their own topics.
Each paper will be peer reviewed by other class members and then the original draft, copies of peer reviewed drafts, and the final paper will be turned into me. Student Groups of 3-5 students will work on a collective project of their own choosing. These can include designing a web page, collecting images, compiling annotated bibliographies, selecting a historical figure and writing a brief biography, or any other project related to the themes of the class. These questions will guide our discussion of the materials and may be used as exam questions. A final self-scheduled open book exam will cover material from throughout the course.
