PROJECTSo far, although you’ve done a lot of writing, it’s.docxbriancrawford30935
PROJECT
So far, although you’ve done a lot of writing, it’s all been on topics of my choice. This time, you
get to choose your topic, research it, and write a paper of approximately four pages. To help
narrow it down, I recommend choosing one of the following five choices:
• Pick an important or interesting person or event. Try to figure out why that person (or
event) is important.
• Read a work of fiction written sometime before c. 1500. Explain what that work tells us
about one aspect of its culture,
• Compare and contrast different examples of art and architecture from either different eras
in the same culture or from two different cultures that were around at about the same
time.
• Look at how two different cultures interacted and what they wrote about each other (or
how they drew/sculpted/painted each other). Explain how these cultures fried to
understand each other.
• Write a historical short story that helps explain some aspect of a particular person or
culture. (Careful! This is harder than it sounds!)
I want to leave as much freedom as possible in this, so the choice is yours. If you want to try
something different, something a little more creative, or have a better idea for a topic feel free to
run it by me. Keep in mind we’ve talked about a LOT of history by this point so there are plenty
of options. Again, if you need advice narrowing your topics down, feel free to ask. Also — don’t
get over ambitious. You’re not going to be able to give a complete Marxist analysis of the
relationship between law and ritual in the Ottoman royal court between 1300 and 1700, so,
please, don’t even try. It’s better to pick something specific and see where it takes you.
That said, the paper must meet the following requirements:
• It should be four to six pages (not including your works cited page, andlor illustrations),
• It must be typed, double-spaced, and in a font between a 10 and 12 pt.
• It must contain both a works cited page and either Chicago-style footnotes or MLA style
citations, citing your sources.
• You must use at least one primary source, that is, at least one source created in the time
period you’re looking at.
• Your topic has to be something from before c. 1500
• You may not use Wikipedia or any sites based on Wikipedia, such as About.com. I don’t
want to say you can’t use the internet, but be aware that printed books and academic
journals are still almost always better than anything online. If you’re going to use the
web, try to judge whether or not the source is reliable — and if it’s not, don’t use it.
Lastly, as always, I want to hear what you think. Don’t just rewrite what other historians say:
come up with a strong thesis statement and try to prove it as best you can. You’ve all done well
on the weekly assignments — in some cases better than you realize — and I think you can do the
same here. The paper will be due on December 7.

HIS 101
Research Paper Assignment
Assignment
Your research paper for this class will be based on a historical figure of your choice. You may pick any person who falls within the scope of the course-that means it must be a figure from the Western world (Europe or the Middle East) who lived between the beginning of recorded history and the mid-18th century. This gives you a wide variety of people to pick from, so pick someone who interests you. (Hint: later people are easier to find sources for)
The purpose of this assignment is not only for you to learn about a historical figure and time period in a more in-depth fashion than we will be able to do in class, but also for you to improve your writing skills, research skills, and ability to analyze information and create an argument.
While this paper is based on a person, it should NOT be solely the story of their life from birth to death, but should make an argument that focuses on the historical events that affected their lives, and the events that they affected.
The purpose of a research paper is to do research on a topic in order to gather evidence which you will use to support the argument that you are making. Think about this like you would a science experiment. Your argument, or thesis, is yours, but you need evidence to convince the reader that your argument is true, and that evidence comes from your sources.
For example, if you chose Nicolo Machiavelli as your topic, you should spend very little time talking about his early life and career, and more discussing his entry into politics, the changes in his political opinions, how and why he wrote his great work
The Prince, and how it affected politics both in his native Italy and across Europe, both in his time and to the present. You should choose something about Machiavelli’s career that you feel you can make an argument about, find evidence that supports that argument, then present it in a concise, well-organized essay.
In order to do this, finding good sources is very important!
Grading
Your final paper will be graded on four major criteria:
Thesis: This is the argument of your paper. Does the paper have a strong thesis statement at the beginning? Is the argument addressed throughout the paper? Does the conclusion appropriately address the thesis?
Content: Does the paper contain good information? Does it contain all the major events of its’ subject’s life, and does it place these events in the appropriate historical context? Does it demonstrate a clear understanding of the subject’s historical importance? Are the sources used good sources, and are they used well? Did you use appropriate sources (no websites, must have an author and page numbers) and did you use enough in text citations?
Style: Is the paper well written? Is it appropriately cited? Is it well organized?
Mechanics: Does the paper have correct spelling and good grammar?

An encyclopedia is a reference source that can be used to find information for school reports, answer questions, or learn about topics of interest. It provides overviews of topics to give general background knowledge. Print encyclopedias have volumes organized alphabetically that contain entries arranged alphabetically within pages. Online encyclopedias also arrange information alphabetically and can be searched digitally. Both types of encyclopedias answer the questions of who, what, where, when and how for looking up people, places, events, and other topics.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

“By the middle of the eighteenth century, enthusiasm for overseas settlement, and
the political, judicial, and moral debates that it had aroused, were already on the
wane. With the outbreak of the American War of Independence in 1776, it had
become clear to a great many that colonization was potentially as much a threat to
the colonizers as it had always so evidently been for the colonized.”1

31. Paraphrasing Example - Legitimate Paraphrase
As early as 1750, the appetite for overseas expansion was decreasing. The
subsequent revolt of Britain’s American colonies in 1776 underlined the potential
risks of such ventures to the countries undertaking them, as well as the people
who were subjugated. Contemporary discussion of the political, moral, and legal
consequences of colonization also declined.1

colonization was potentially as dangerous to the colonizers as it was to the
colonized.1
