Homework: World Civilization II
"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 connectsto the present.
