Course Goals: to develop students' skills in:

• The historical analysis of primary sources,
• Using electronic media to construct historical websites

Requirements:

Course requirements have two dimensions:

1. An editorial project, consisting of five parts:
   • A research question;
   • A bibliography that informs and frames the research question;
   • A set of 20 documents that addresses the question (with annotations);
   • Short headnotes (1-2 paragraphs) for each document;
   • An introduction to the whole project (3-5 pages--plus endnotes);

   
   

2. Deadlines for placing successive portions of your project on the course website electronically. While the major focus of this course is the final project, students are expected to adhere to the deadlines set for completion of portions of the project throughout the semester.
