Writing an Essay for each with a thesis answering the question.
Themajor task of âdoingâ history involves reading a variety of materials, forming opinions about that material, then writing or otherwise presenting this information within a well-constructed analytical framework. For this exam you will âdoâ history by drawing on relevant course materials as evidence to support your arguments.
For each question, you should write a coherent, well-argued essay, in which you state clearly a thesis that answers the question posed; present arguments explaining and supporting your thesis; and discuss specific historical evidence that supports your arguments. Be as specific as possible in answering the question and in supporting your thesis. The thesis you choose to argue will not be the only possible answer to the question, nor need you address all possible answers. Instead, choose the answer that you find most convincing and select evidence that supports that view. Evidence drawn from primary sources (texts written, or objects created, in the time period of the events you are discussing) will be particularly convincing.
Please keep the use of quotes to a minimumâput things in your own words (I want your ideas and conclusions, not the authorsâ). What I am looking for is your ability to synthesize and analyze a variety of sources to develop and support an argument. Donât worry if youâre not sure youâre doing it ârightâ, critical thinking and analysis take practice, and thatâs why youâre taking classes.
Each essay should be typed double-spaced with 1 inch margins and 12 font (no âcuteâ fonts), and be structured properly. There is no minimum or maximum length for each essay, just make sure you answer the questions thoroughly.Â

Assignment 1: Essay â Exploring Ancient Mysteries
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
Choose one (1) of the topics below and develop a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (of at least 250-500 words) which adequately address the topic you have chosen.
Topic Choices
There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but âhowâ these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated. Â Â Â
No one can say for certain what happened to the great urban Mayan civilization, but theories abound and include varied possible alternatives to explain the relatively abrupt and mysterious disappearance of the Mayan civilization.
Tutankhamen died young, at approximately eighteen (18) years of age. However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?.
Minoan Crete was a major civilization in its time, but several theories have been advanced to explain its demise, including speculations associating it with mythical Atlantis. What were the causes of Minoan Civilization's decline?
Great Zimbabwe is an enormous complex of structures in East Africa. Since the builders and occupants left no written records, several theories have developed as to the identity of its builders and the functions of the structures. Which theory makes the most sense?
The monumental size and complexity of the Tomb of Shihuangdi is astounding, yet its location and construction details were to be kept secret. What was the emperorâs purpose for such an elaborate, secret burial place?
Other topic choice recommended and approved by the professor and supported by the grading rubric.
Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you:
Clearly state the âmysteryâ and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) reasonable and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory â such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc.
After summarizing at least two (2) scholarly theories, identify one (1) of the theories as the most plausible and provide at least two (2) convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. This will involve some critical reasoning skills on your part.
Use at least two (2) sources plus the class textbook. (Three [3] sources total as the minimum)

Read the CLA2 assignment listed in week 8 of the course. Then please provide an outline that itemizes the concepts that you will include in your CLA2 paper and final PPT. Please be sure to include concepts learned in the course and information (findings, conclusions) from your PA and CLA1 papers. Provide some brief details for each item that is outlined. Please keep in mind that you should have placeholders for material not yet covered in lecture from weeks 6 and 7.

This is CLA1:
From 3100 B.C.E. to 220 C.E., Mesopotamian, African, American, Indian, Chinese, Grecian and Roman civilizations flourished with developments that changed the world. As the regions grew, they developed complex processes and structures that were specific to their religious beliefs, social norms, and ethical needs. For this assessment, you will be comparing and contrasting these civilizations with special emphasis on their gods, social rulers, and social order.
In a digital format, you will create a presentation showcasing the differences and similarities between the regions. You are able to use any digital format you would like to create the presentation. There are many free programs available online that are movie makers, slide presentation format (a template is provided for this), or even a combination of multiple presentation styles. Your presentation should include photos, graphs, quotes, and/or video clips that show your synthesis of the coursework on the two regions and individual research you have completed. You should include at least three scholarly articles in your research and cite appropriately.

Research Paper Directions
1. Directions
1945.Each student must write a research paper, anywhere from ten to fifteen pages, double-spaced, analyzing a topic relevant to World History Since 1945. For example, a student may choose a topic relevant to the Cold War, such as the Korean War. Or a student may study how globalization has shaped economics, popular culture, or political relations in a particular region (South America) and/or time period (the 1980s). A last approach would be take a current event or issue of global significance, such as the Rio Olympics or conflict in Syria, and use their research to look at this phenomenon from the vantage of a longer historical lens.
1946.Sources: For the research paper, the student must demonstrate use of a variety of primary (at least eight) and secondary (at least five)Primary sources are documents, artifacts, visuals, maps, diaries, speeches, photographs, monuments, buildings, and other sources created in the period being researched and by the people being researched. Secondary sources are accounts of the past written by scholars or observers. Your goal is to find scholarship that is peer-reviewed, academic, and/or influential on the worldâs understanding of this topic.
1947.In the essay, the student must devise a thesis that answers a central research question about their topic and explain how it relates to one of the macro-themes (such as the Cold War or Globalization) explored as part of the course. The thesis should be located at the end of the first paragraph, and the paper should include an introduction stating the historical significance of their topic. The introduction should be followed by a section reviewing the major ideas and debates about this topic found in the secondary sources. The remainder of the body paragraphs should analyze the studentâs chosen primary sources to support their thesis before a conclusion section re-states the thesis with its main supporting points from the paper.Â
2. To generate analysis, the student should answer the following questions:
1945.Students should consider some of the questions posed in the handout material Interpreting Primary Sources concerning the sourceâs creation, form, function, audience, influence, and bias.
1946.In addition, ask yourself:
1. How can this source enhance our understanding of the past, and, what are the limitations of this source?
2. What information is missing from this source, and is this a result of the authorâs background or bias?
1947.Secondary Sources
1. What is the scope of the authorâs research? What method and sources does the author use to approach this topic?
1. What is the authorâs argument about this topic? Is the argument convincing and credible? How does it contrast with the ideas of other experts on this topic or conventional wisdom?
· Is there use of evidence exhaustive, sufficient, or faulty in some way? Do they make any assumptions or leaps in logic that are questionable?

Human civilization
Welcome to week 5 of your course. This discussion question will help you prepare for your CLA2 paper and final CLA2 PPT and as such will have a fair amount of detail. Read the CLA2 assignment listed in week 8 of the course. Then please provide an outline that itemizes the concepts that you will include in your CLA2 paper and final PPT. Please be sure to include concepts learned in the course and information (findings, conclusions) from your PA and CLA1 papers. Provide some brief details for each item that is outlined. Please keep in mind that you should have placeholders for material not yet covered in lecture from weeks 6 and 7. Here is an itemized list that summarizes the requirements of this DQ (include every item in the bullet point list below, or you will not receive full credit):
1. Outline that itemizes concepts learned in the course
2. Include information (findings, conclusions) from your PA and CLA1
3. Brief details for each item that is outlined
4. Placeholders for material not yet covered
This is CLA1:
From 3100 B.C.E. to 220 C.E., Mesopotamian, African, American, Indian, Chinese, Grecian and Roman civilizations flourished with developments that changed the world. As the regions grew, they developed complex processes and structures that were specific to their religious beliefs, social norms, and ethical needs. For this assessment, you will be comparing and contrasting these civilizations with special emphasis on their gods, social rulers, and social order.
In a digital format, you will create a presentation showcasing the differences and similarities between the regions. You are able to use any digital format you would like to create the presentation. There are many free programs available online that are movie makers, slide presentation format (a template is provided for this), or even a combination of multiple presentation styles. Your presentation should include photos, graphs, quotes, and/or video clips that show your synthesis of the coursework on the two regions and individual research you have completed. You should include at least three scholarly articles in your research and cite appropriately.
This is CLA2:
As you have learned in this course, ancient world civilizations and cultures have had great influence on modern society. Even those civilizations that have ceased to exist seem to have as great an influence on us as those who are still in existence. TheRoman and Chinese empires are examples of cultures with significant impact.For this assignment, you will research these two civilizations in the time periodsdiscussed in your textbook, focusing in on their most valued contributions, thefallout from their ancient decline, and how their influence is felt in the modernworld. Your information should be delivered in a narrated slideshow/oralpresentation and accompanying a 2-3 page paper. The slideshow should beapproximately seven to ten slides. Examples include YouTube, Visme, andVoiceT ...

Research Paper Directions
1. Directions
1945.Each student must write a research paper, anywhere from ten to fifteen pages, double-spaced, analyzing a topic relevant to World History Since 1945. For example, a student may choose a topic relevant to the Cold War, such as the Korean War. Or a student may study how globalization has shaped economics, popular culture, or political relations in a particular region (South America) and/or time period (the 1980s). A last approach would be take a current event or issue of global significance, such as the Rio Olympics or conflict in Syria, and use their research to look at this phenomenon from the vantage of a longer historical lens.
1946.Sources: For the research paper, the student must demonstrate use of a variety of primary (at least eight) and secondary (at least five)Primary sources are documents, artifacts, visuals, maps, diaries, speeches, photographs, monuments, buildings, and other sources created in the period being researched and by the people being researched. Secondary sources are accounts of the past written by scholars or observers. Your goal is to find scholarship that is peer-reviewed, academic, and/or influential on the worldâs understanding of this topic.
1947.In the essay, the student must devise a thesis that answers a central research question about their topic and explain how it relates to one of the macro-themes (such as the Cold War or Globalization) explored as part of the course. The thesis should be located at the end of the first paragraph, and the paper should include an introduction stating the historical significance of their topic. The introduction should be followed by a section reviewing the major ideas and debates about this topic found in the secondary sources. The remainder of the body paragraphs should analyze the studentâs chosen primary sources to support their thesis before a conclusion section re-states the thesis with its main supporting points from the paper.Â
2. To generate analysis, the student should answer the following questions:
1945.Students should consider some of the questions posed in the handout material Interpreting Primary Sources concerning the sourceâs creation, form, function, audience, influence, and bias.
1946.In addition, ask yourself:
1. How can this source enhance our understanding of the past, and, what are the limitations of this source?
2. What information is missing from this source, and is this a result of the authorâs background or bias?
1947.Secondary Sources
1. What is the scope of the authorâs research? What method and sources does the author use to approach this topic?
1. What is the authorâs argument about this topic? Is the argument convincing and credible? How does it contrast with the ideas of other experts on this topic or conventional wisdom?
· Is there use of evidence exhaustive, sufficient, or faulty in some way? Do they make any assumptions or leaps in logic that are questionable?

Choose one (1) of the topics below and develop a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (of at least 250-500 words) which adequately address the topic you have chosen.
Topic Choices
There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but âhowâ these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated. Â Â Â
No one can say for certain what happened to the great urban Mayan civilization, but theories abound and include varied possible alternatives to explain the relatively abrupt and mysterious disappearance of the Mayan civilization.
Tutankhamen died young, at approximately eighteen (18) years of age. However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?.
Minoan Crete was a major civilization in its time, but several theories have been advanced to explain its demise, including speculations associating it with mythical Atlantis. What were the causes of Minoan Civilization's decline?
Great Zimbabwe is an enormous complex of structures in East Africa. Since the builders and occupants left no written records, several theories have developed as to the identity of its builders and the functions of the structures. Which theory makes the most sense?
The monumental size and complexity of the Tomb of Shihuangdi is astounding, yet its location and construction details were to be kept secret. What was the emperorâs purpose for such an elaborate, secret burial place?
Other topic choice recommended and approved by the professor and supported by the grading rubric.
Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you:
Clearly state the âmysteryâ and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) reasonable and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory â such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc.
After summarizing at least two (2) scholarly theories, identify one (1) of the theories as the most plausible and provide at least two (2) convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. This will involve some critical reasoning skills on your part.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Â
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Approaches to Global History
HI118 - Autumn - 6 ECTS
Tuesdays 8.15â10am, S2
Course Description
This seminar offers an overview of recent
approaches to, and discussions about, global
history. It thus aims to take stock of the much
broader global turn in history that has taken place
during the last 30 years. By discussing writings
and research widely drawn upon by global
historians, the seminar provides students with a
toolkit for better understanding the turn away
from nation-centered ways of seeing history,
which have given way to histories focusing on
the movements of people, goods, and ideas across
boundaries and on how these movements have
been determinants of historical change. The
seminar situates global history within related
fields, such as transnational history and imperial
history. Finally, it delves into recent challenges to
global history, which in the eyes of some of its
critics has given up on some classic virtues of
historians altogether. Throughout the seminar, a
particular focus will be on the manifestations and
implications of Eurocentrism in historical
writing.

Course Requirements
1. Term Paper: 50% of final grade; 4,000 words; deadline January 5, 2020 (by email to professor and TA)
Term papers of 4,000 words (including the footnotes, but excluding the bibliography) should deal with a clearly
circumscribed historical topic and address a viable research question. Topic and question should be related to
migration history, be developed by the student, and discussed in advance with the instructor. For this purpose,
students must submit (by email, to professor and TA) a 300-word abstract by October 22, which states the title,
topic, question, and structure of the future paper. This serves as a basis for discussion in the office hour. Once you
submitted your abstract please make an appointment here:

For general reference of how to write term papers, please read the guidelines (available on Moodle) carefully. Two
sessions will be devoted to academic writing. When in doubt you can also refer to this online guide for writing
academic research papers: https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/index.html
2. Book Presentation and Review: 20% of final grade; 800â1,000 words; deadline Friday noon before class
presentation.
From the week-by-week list below you must choose one book to present in class and write a review of it. Book
reviews are standalone pieces of 800â1,000 words, which should summarize the bookâs content (ideally not on a
chapter-by-chapter basis, but as a whole), approach, and main arguments in relation to the wider historiography of
the relevant topic. They should also contain explicit praise and/or criticism. For reference, please read yourself
through the book reviews of the American Historical Review as well as prior reviews of the book that you pick. The
reviews must be submitted to all course participants by Friday noon before your presentation of the book. Feedback
on the written reviews will be provided in the office hour (ideally together with discussing your abstract, if possible).
The book presentation in class should be concise (7 minutes as an absolute maximum) and refrain from summarizing
the bookâs content once more, which through your written review will be known to all course participants before
your presentation. Rather, it should relate the bookâs arguments to the general required reading of the session in
which you present the book. Does it support or complement the arguments made in the required reading? In what
way? Does it shed a different light on them or contradict them? Your presentation should thus serve as an opener of
the discussion rather than as a standalone review.
3. Class Participation: 30% of final grade
Just like an orchestra, a history seminar is only as good as the individual effort of all its participants. Please come
to every class equipped with a thorough reading of the assigned texts, prepared answers to the questions that you
find below for each session, as well as questions of your own. Make yourself heard in class and we will all benefit
as a group.
In order to integrate reading and writing exercises, every student has to write a one-page summary (ca. 400 words)
of one item on the list of required readings in one week: students with surnames AâG should summarize Austin for
week 2 (September 24), HâP Drayton and Motadel for week 3, and QâZ Cooper for week 4. These are not graded,
should be submitted by email to the TA only, who will provide a brief feedback on them.

2. 24 September: What is Global History?
Topic/Question:
Ever since the term has achieved growing currency in the 1990s, people have asked what global history is. In this
session we will discuss this question, without finding a definitive answer with validity for everyone. In particular,
we will discuss whether and how global history is different from other kinds of connected histories, such as
transnational history or world history. And: Where, why, and how did global history as an academic sub-discipline
take shape and what does this tell us about its main traits?

3. 1 October: Is Global History Necessary?
Topic/Question:
Like any other academic sub-field, global history has had its fair share of critics and sceptics. Some of them claim
that it is old wine in new bottles; others maintain that it has neglected place and sedentariness in favor of tropes of
networks, flux, and mobility; others yet argue that it has âhad its moment,â suffering from a sort of imperial
overstretch owing to its own success. Whereas last week we discussed what global history is, our topics this week
will be whether it is necessary and whether it is a good thing.

4. 8 October: Globalization in History
Topic/Question:
The rise of global history as a subfield has obviously coincided with the emergence of debates about globalization
in social sciences other than history. But is global history simply the history of globalization? Is it useful to speak
of globalization for historical periods prior to the twentieth century, as many historians today do? And is the term
globalization useful for historians at all? These questions will concern us in this week.

United States? Whereas much classic Marxist theory thought of slavery as archaic, feudal, unprofitable, and thus
an obsolete obstacle to the nineteenth-century rise of capitalism, dissenters such as the Trinidadian historian (and
later Prime Minister) Eric Williams and the American economic historians Stanley Engerman and Robert Fogel
shattered this view. After lying dormant for a long time, recent years have seen a resurgence of the debate about
capitalism and slavery, particularly in the form of the so-called New History of Capitalism, many proponents of
which have argued that slavery was crucial to economic growth in the nineteenth-century U.S. Some economic
historians disagree. Who is right?

8. 5 November: Global Intellectual History and Human Rights
Topic/Question:
With its strong literary anchorage and its long-held endearment towards famous (usually white, male) writers,
intellectual history was long a bastion of Eurocentrism and methodological nationalism, and thus a relative
latecomer to the label of the global. But can there be such a thing as a global intellectual history? We will discuss
this question based on a particular example this week: the history of human rights. As a markedly universalist
idea, do demands for human rights travel better than particularist ideas, such as nationalism?

9. 12 November: Empires and Their Boundaries
Topic/Question:
One attraction of global history has been that other than transnational history or international history it is more
obviously capable of encompassing quarters of world history in which the nation-state was not the most important
point of reference for political organizationâin other words, the overwhelming majority of humanity prior to the
twentieth century. For the same reason, global history has revived debates about the relationship between empires
and nation-states; notably in the U.S. case, which on the one hand was long seen as a quintessential example of a
postcolonial or post-imperial nation-state, yet on the other hand also acted as an imperialist power throughout the
twentieth century. How should one write this history?

10. 19 November: Eurocentrism
Topic/Question:
If global history has had a declared enemy it has always been Eurocentrismâa sometimes ill-defined concept that
can refer to undue historiographical attention to Europe (and North America?) to the detriment of other world
regions, the uncritical use of concepts derived from historical trajectories specific to Europe (and these conceptsâ
uncritical application elsewhere), and the normative assumption that Europe was somehow superior; or a
combination of these three. In this session we will discuss the origins, the interplay, and the escapability of these
three varieties of Eurocentrism.

11. 26 November: International History
Topic/Question:
At least in the form of diplomatic history, international history is much older than global history and in some ways
has acted as a handmaiden for it. Today we will ask whether there are longer term roots in the history of
international relations and organizations that have helped bury Eurocentric notions of history and thus helped the
rise of global history avant la lettre.

12. 3 December: The History of Development
Topic/Question:
Closely linked, as well as equally tied to this institution, has been the history of development. A relatively recent
field of historical inquiry, the history of development has risen exponentially in recent decades, in tandem with the
global history boom. Following on from our earlier, more theoretical, discussions of Eurocentrism, in this session
we will ask more concretely about the implications of global history and of Eurocentrism for the writing of the
history of development.

14. 17 December: Digitization and Global History
Topic/Question:
This final session will be devoted to a rather different, more methodological, issue: What does the rise of global
history (and transnational history, if you will) owe to the everyday digitization of historiansâ work environment?
Did we simply all jump on the global history bandwagon because it is so much easier to retrieve fine-grained
information about a previously little-known person in the eighteenth-century Caribbean than it was thirty years
ago? What kinds of anachronisms do we risk? And what gets lost through the digitization of our work?
