FINAL EXAM
The FINAL EXAM consists of two parts. PART I consists of
answering all the questions on one topic for 70 points: either the
seventh topic on The New American Republic or the ninth topic The
Civil War; and Part II consist of fully identifying, describing, and
elaborating on TWO KEY TERMS from the eight topic on The Industrial
Revolution for 30 points (15 points each key term).
The answers to the questions and key terms must be TYPED,
using a regular font (Times New Roman, 12), double-spaced, page
numbered, with a cover page with your student information and class
number. The answers for PART I alone must contain a minimum of
5 FULL pages in length and there are no limits as to the maximum
pages; for the key terms of PART II, there are no limits to the number of
pages, just answer the terms as fully as possible.
As a whole, the entire work MUST CONTAIN ONLY
LECTURE-MATERIAL (so no internet, online encyclopedia
material will be allowed!). Finally, the answers to Part I and II
must be saved in a single file (separated by headings, of
course), and must be saved on Word or PDF only (since
Blackboard might not open other applications) and the file
must be submitted on the FINAL EXAM upload tab on
Blackboard by May 11th, 2023.
The exam will be graded on three basic factors:
- ORGANIZATION (try answering the questions in the order presented without having to write the question and answer, just write a narrative that will answer these questions)
- ANALYSIS (it is important not only to describe historical events, but also to explain how and why these events take place; in this case, students should include in their analysis the role that ideas, technology, and the environment have played in shaping the history of human cultures and societies).
- FACTS (Provide specific information about the time and place of historical events, as well as specific examples of the ideas, beliefs, concepts, and terms presented in the lectures- for example, if you are discussing the Second Great Awakening and the Social Reforms of the 1830s & 40s, provide
specific detailed information about the religious groups that participated in this revival along with their beliefs and practices, as well as the specific reforms that came out from this movement; or, if you are discussing the Industrial Revolution, provide factual information about the types of technological, economic, and social changes that these revolution created). Use lecture material only to support your arguments.
