HIS 200 Project 1 Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
History is for human self-knowledge . . . the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has
done and thus what man is.
—R. G. Collingwood
Historical awareness informs various aspects of our lives. We live in a time of rapid change, and we often think more about the future than the past. However,
studying history can help us better understand our own lives in the context of the places we live and society in general. In America, specifically, the government is
informed by its citizens. If the ideals of society shift, that shift will eventually move throughout the different levels of government, effecting widespread change.
For the projects in this course, you will select a historical event that has impacted American society in some way. You may select an event that was discussed in
the course, or you may select your own event, with instructor approval. You may consider using the event you chose to work on in your Perspectives in History
class, if that event is something you wish to investigate further through this assessment.
In Project 1, you will develop a plan for an essay on this historical event. The plan will include a brief description of the selected historical event and the resources
you will use in your research. In addition, you will identify an audience for your essay and decide how to communicate your information to this audience. In
Project 2, you will write an essay analyzing the historical event you selected, examining its impact on society as well as its impact on you personally.
Project 1 addresses the following course outcomes:
Select appropriate and relevant primary and secondary sources in investigating foundational historic events
Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human history
Apply key approaches to studying history in addressing critical questions related to historical narratives and perspectives
Prompt
Your writing plan should answer the following prompt: Select a historical event that has impacted American society. Develop a plan for writing your essay,
describing the historical event, selecting appropriate resources for your research, and identifying an audience for your essay. The purpose of this writing plan is to
provide you with a way to gather your thoughts and begin thinking about how to support your thesis statement. The following critical elements will be assessed
in a 1- to 2-page word processing document.
2
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Describe the historical event that you selected. Why is this event significant?
II. Describe at least two secondary sources that you could use to research your historical event. Your sources must be relevant to your event and must be of
an appropriate academic nature. In your description, consider q ...

General Education Common Graded Assignment: History 111-History of the United States I
Primary Source Analysis
HIST 111 – History of the United States is a general education course designed to assist students in the
development of critical life skills. One of the goals of this assignment is to assess student competence for each
of these objectives:
I. Written and Oral Communication — examine a variety of primary and secondary sources of historical
information, which may include scholarly books and articles, websites and blogs, historical
documentaries, biographies, diaries, letters, newspapers, novels and statistical reports (CCO1);
II. Critical Analysis and Reasoning — identify the major concepts, events and issues that shaped the
history of the US and defined its place in the global community up to 1865 (CCO2);
IV. Information Literacy— find, evaluate, use and cite academic resources that assess historical research
(CCO7);
V. Scientific, Quantitative or Logical Reasoning – construct an historical argument that is based on the
logical presentation of specific historical facts and that analyzes the causal factors of a historical event or
process (CCO3);
VI. Local and Global Diversity — determine the role that religion, race, class, gender, and ethnicity play in
influencing US domestic and foreign policy to 1865 (CCO5);
In addition to the above general education objectives, this assignment assesses students’ understanding and
application of the following skills and knowledge specific to United States History:
I. Analyze and interpret primary sources.
II. Locate and identify primary sources and assess their credibility and usefulness.
III. Place primary source materials in proper historical context using information gained in class.
IV. Demonstrate awareness of important events and concepts in US history.
V. Identify biases, distortions and inaccuracies in primary sources.
VI. Explain how a particular primary source can enhance our understanding of US history.
ASSIGNMENT:
For this assignment students will select a topic from a list provided by the instructor and use the WEB and/or
library databases to locate two (2) primary sources relating to their chosen topic. Students will then write a
cohesive essay analyzing and comparing the two sources and reflecting upon what these sources tell us about
the topic at hand and the study of history in general.
Primary Sources provide first-hand accounts of the events, practices, or conditions. In general, these are
documents that were created by the witnesses or first recorders of these events at about the time they
occurred, and include diaries, letters, reports, court decisions, speeches, photographs, newspaper articles, and
creative works – poems, novels, or political cartoons. Primary Sources form the base that supports historians’
reconstructions of the past. To use primary sources with confidence, historians ...
Paper OneGo all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bil.docxbunyansaturnina
Paper One
“Go all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bill Clinton instructed a crow of global jet-setters at the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, “and you’ll see that every successful civilization builds institutions that work, that lift people up and reward people for their greatness. Then, if you look at every one of those civilization, all those institutions that benefited people get long in the tooth. They get creaky. The people ruling them become more interested in holding on to power than the purpose they were designed for. That’s where we are now in the public and private sector” (qtd. in Twilight of the Elites 9)
Chris Hayes, in The Twilight of the Elites, examines what he calls the “near total failure of each pillar institution of our [American] society” (1). The book came out four years ago, in 2012, and looks at events in what he calls the “fail decade,” from 2000-2010 and just beyond.
Here is a list of some of the major failures of various institutions and their “elite” leaders since 2000:
· Jerry Sandusky scandal involving Penn State revealed in 2011
· Bennet Omalu publishes CTE papers in 2005-6 and NFL covers up concussion issues
· 2002—Boston Globe “Spotlight” reporters break the story that Boston’s Catholic diocese covered up child sexual abuse
· 2007-8 global financial crisis
· 2001 (approximate) to present—General Motors ignition switch cover up
· Corruption in corporations and politics: ENRON; Arthur Anderson accounting debacle; Bernie Madoff’s pyramid scheme; various politician resigned, tried, and sometimes put in prison for theft, corruption, sex abuse
· Collapse of traditional journalism and journalistic ethics in the cable news era
· The killings of unarmed Black males by police and resulting cover-ups
· Chicago (schools, Homan Square, murder rate, police cover ups
· Various professional athletes cheating through steroids, drugs, deflated footballs
· Infrastructure issues (collapse of bridges, dams, levees; electrical grid issues; cybersecurity)
· Hurricane Katrina
· Failure to act on intelligence about bin Laden’s intention to use airplanes to attack U.S.
· Manipulation of “intelligence” to provide excuse to invade Iraq
· Political dirty tricks, going back to Nixon’s election in 1972 and continuing through the Russian hacking in 2016
· Exploding debt among college students
· Climate change denial by high political officials and corporations
· “Citizens United” ruling by the Supreme Court
· Asset forfeiture without due process
· Two presidential election that failed in fundamental ways (Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case, voter suppression, Russian hacking)
· Flint, Michigan water poisoning crisis
You may not know about any of these failures, if you don’t follow the news or if you are not from this country. But you can see the failure of government leaders; local, state and federal governments; corporations; banks and other financial institutions; churches, educational institutions; local police and other.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
2. A. Definition and Areas of History What is the first thing that comes in to your mind when you hear the word history? The word history originally means the search for knowledge and truth.
3. B. Views on the Value of Historical Research Historical investigations help broaden our experiences and make us more understanding and appreciative of our human nature and uniqueness. By knowing our past, we know the present condition better.
4. C. Historical Research as a Modern Undertaking Most of those who engaged in historical writing intended for the most part to entertain or to inspire their readers. (Van Dalen, 1972). He considered history as somewhat aiming for truth. (Thucydides)
5. D. Characteristics of Contemporary Historical Researches Present historical investigations primarily aim for critical search for truth. In making your historical report the actual events and the conditions of the time are not violated,exaggerated,or distorted. The critical used by historians maybe useful in providing you the guidelines in your historical study. You may use them to assist you to judge objectively the conditions which led to their results of the studies undertaken previously.

8. 2. Gathering your source materials One of your important initial tasks as a historical researcher is the gathering of the best available data to solve your problem. It is useful to look out for the many varied evidences of the activities engaged in by people who lived in the past. It is necessary at this point to be familiar to the different types of historical sources which you may avail of as you conduct your data collection.
9. A. Classifications of Historical Sources Historical sources maybe classified as primary or secondary(Fox,1969) A Primary source is regarded as the source of the “best evidence”.This is because the data come from the testimony of able eye and ear witnesses to past events. They may also consist of actual objects in the past which you can directly scrutinize or examine.
10. Secondary sources,on the other hand are informations supply who was not a direct observer or participant of the event,object, or condition.
11. Another classification of historical sources is based on whether the recording of the data was deliberate or inadvertent . Deliberate sources provide data which have been recorded with the conscious effort to preserve information (Fox,1969) Inadvertent sources supply information also for your historical study even though that was not the original intention of the source.
12. Good and Scates (1972) give two broad divisions which classify existing historical sources. These are: (1) reports of events called documents, which are composed of impressions made on some human brain by past events:these impressions have been consciously recorded with the aim of transmitting information. (2) Physical objects or written materials of historical value: these are called remains or relics and are produced without deliberately aiming to impart information.
13. Van Dalen (1979) enumerates the types of historical records which may be available in written, pictorial, and mechanical forms. These include official records, personal records, oral traditions, pictorial records like photographs, paintings, sculpture, movies, microfilm, slides, and coins; published materials like news papers, journals, pamphlets, literary and philosophical works and periodicals; mechanical records like tape recordings of interviews and conferences, phonograph records of speeches and reading activities; remains, which include physical remains, printed materials, and hand written materials. You now choose the evidence which is relevant to your problem.
14. B. Places where the sources are located After the source materials have been classified and describe to you the next question will be “Where are this material located?”
15. C. Systematizing your note-taking This is necessary because of the presence of full bibliographical information in your notes system is your basis for your proper documentation when you write your data in narrative form.
16. 3. Criticizing your source materials The terms external and internal refer to the purpose or objective of criticism and not to method or procedure in dealing with the sources (Good and Scates, 1974)
17. A. External Criticism External criticism involves finding out if the source material is genuine and if it possesses textual integrity (Gay, 1972) There are several procedures which you can do to check the genuineness of the source material. The techniques you may do include authenticating signatures, chemically analyzing the paint, or carbon-dating the artifacts.
18. There are essentially two common tests that you will have to do in a historical investigation. 1. Establishing authorship 2. establishing the place and date of publication of the source material. Undoubtedly, you wanna check against forgeries, rule out plagiarism, pinpoint materials which are not accurately identified, or put back a document to its original form.
19. B. Internal Criticism To check on the meaning and trustworthiness of the data within the document. Much of your work in internal criticism is textual criticism. However, your other concerns pertain to other factors like the competence, good faith, position, and bias of the author.
20. 1. Literal vs. the real meaning of the author's statement The meaning of the many words in older documents is different from the meaning they have today. Some words do not have the same meaning to all people. Different cultures and different eras have different beliefs and attitudes about certain things. Even in modern documents, the real meaning of a word or statement is difficult to ascertain owing to allegory, use of symbolism, irony, satire, jests, allusions, hoaxes, implications, metaphor, hyperboles and other rhetorical figures and literary ways of speaking.
21. 2. Competence of the author or observer There are several tests which you may use to determine the competence of an author. These include his status as a trained observer or eyewitness, the extent to which his position for making observation was favorable, to which memory was used after a lapse of time, and the use of original sources. The current issues at the time he wrote the document, as well as the level of the moral standards existing at the time will help you check his stand and convictions.
22. 3. Testing for truthfulness and honesty You may ask several questions to test the truthfulness and honesty of an author. Was the author motivated by personal or vested interest in producing the material? To what race, nationality, religion, ideology, social class, party, economic group, or profession did he belong, which might led him to have biases and prejudices?
23. Was he writing seriously, ironically, humorously, or symbolically, or was he voicing his real convictions? Was he presenting the views of the establishment for public notice, using conventional language, to write what he did not know or to conceal his own views? Was there evidence of vanity or boasting by the author? Did he make distortions, exaggerations, and embellishments, to achieve colorful effects?
24. A. Special problems in writing and interpreting your data These problems include: 1. Determining the major problems to be aswered 2. using inductive reasoning 3. Formulating and testing your own hypothesis 4. Causation 5. Historical perspective 6. developing a guiding thesis or principles of synthesis 7. framing your generalization and conclusions
25. F. Strengths and Limitations of Historical Research Historical research can only give a fractional view of the past; its knowledge is never complete and is derived from the surviving records of a limited number of past events. History also depends on valuable materials which are difficult to preserve.
26. Some scholars contend that history requires a different method and interpretation because of its elusive subject matter – the past. Another Weaknesses is the absence of the technical historical terminology in historical research.
