📜 Course Description
The study of American history has recently witnessed fundamental revision. History is not simply a series of inevitable events but a contingent process, the origins of which remain open to interpretation. Our principle concern remains to understand not only the outcome of events, but also the origins of them.

Assignment Submission
All essays and papers are due in lecture (due dates are listed on the schedule). No electronic copies will be accepted!
Late Assignments
Late work will be deducted 5% per twenty-four hour period that elapses after the due date. If foreseen or unforeseen circumstances prevent you from completing an assignment on time, you may request an extension. Extensions must be requested in advance of the due date. If the situation warrants an extension, we will determine a new due date for the essay based on your individual circumstances.
😢 Plagiarism
Presenting someone else’s ideas as your own, either verbatim or recast in your own words – is a serious academic offense with serious consequences. Please familiarize yourself with the discussion of plagiarism in our campus policies.
🧠 Final Examination
The final examination will consist of an essay written during the exam period. You will receive the question at least one week before the test and may use a single page of notes during it.
