World Civilization II – HIS 104
Spring 2021 – Second Exam (Chapters 17-20)
Short Identification (40% of exam grade): The exam itself will consist of 5 short identification terms which you will choose from a bank of 10 terms (8 points per term). You should thoroughly identify each term, including its historical context and significance drawn from class lectures, its date or timeframe, and its geographical setting.
Essay Question: One of the three essay questions outlined below will be chosen for the exam. Your answer must be thorough, contain (at minimum) three full paragraphs, and must display a knowledge and understanding of the themes, events, and significant connections from the class lectures and applicable assigned readings.
Do NOT use any outside sources! This will be deemed plagiarism resulting in a zero (0) exam grade. Remember, this is NOT a group project! It is an exam to be taken individually and without collaboration. Cheating is defined in the Student Handbook and under University Policy 2.19 and the penalties for breach of the university’s policy on Academic Integrity will be upheld in this class.
“How Can I Do Better on the Essay?”: Read the comments that I wrote about your first exam. Secondly, understand that the prompts for the essay questions are just that “prompts” to get you started. A really good essay can take the prompts and use them to make more connections to the lecture materials and the readings as a whole. You are also encouraged to make references and connections across the chapters. An average or even poor essay merely spits the contents of the slides back to me. I am not merely teaching you to memorize facts/dates. I am teaching you how to think about history and to see how it connects to the present.
