Over quantity, but a useful guide is to craft clear, concise, informative and well-written answers for each of the terms in Section I (approx. 250-300 words for each term) The suggested word counts (which do not include citations) Students who have sufficiently prepared by keeping up with weekly lectures and readings and focusing on the ‘questions to consider’ should have much to say. Students have ample time to carefully prepare their answers, so please call on all of the pertinent course materials and write effectively.
Citing evidence to support your statements is required in academic writing. Details and examples from the course materials (ie. lectures and readings) to support your answers are essential. Keep in mind that some topics are covered in multiple units. No outside sources are permitted. Material taken from outside the course will not receive credit. A bibliography is not required.
Citations are required for the questions. Students will not receive a passing grade without them. In the history discipline, we follow the Chicago Manual of Style (‘Notes and Bibliography system’) citation format. Use the required format. For those unfamiliar with this style, be prepared to devote some time to learning it. Please use footnotes to facilitate our grading of the exam. It is vital to include the specific page numbers from which the material is taken, so refrain from citing an entire reading. For example, if referencing material from the Stack reading, do not cite the entire page range for the reading, ie. 435-463. Instead, refer to the specific pages from which the information was taken, ie. p. 440. For lectures, use the following format: eg. Professor Mike Dove, Lecture, Unit 7: Industrial Age Brewing. Once you’ve cited a source in full, you can simply refer to it by surname and page number (in the case of a reading) or by Unit # (in the case of a lecture) each time thereafter, egs. Stack, p.440, or Dove, Unit 7. Create a new footnote each time you cite a source- footnote numbers never repeat. For those of you unfamiliar with this format, I’ve included a link to the style guide section (ie. Chicago Manual of Style Online) provided through Western Libraries:
Avoid using direct quotations, instead paraphrase (summarize in your own words) wherever possible and cite the original source of the information as a footnote
Identify and describe the historical significance of the following terms using complete sentences and paragraphs. Provide details and examples from the relevant course materials (ie. lectures and readings) in support of your answers. Cite sources of information as footnotes in Chicago Style format.
