UCSB Hist 2c: World History, 1700-present 2003 Sample Papers course taught by
Professor Harold Marcuse |
Introduction (back to top) I offer here three sample papers from my 2003 offering of this course to help students to envisage my expectations for the 2nd paper assignment. However, in 2006 I've added a research component to the assignment, which these papers do not include. In each I've inserted some handwritten comments to show some of the research questions students might have addressed (if it had been required). I realize that in order to have space to address the research question(s), the 2006 papers will not go into as much detail about the events themselves, as the 2003 papers did. The most frequently asked question I hear is: "I don't know what you want/expect us to do." In answer, I offer the following formulation of my goals for this paper assignment:
