  • “Evaluating Participation in Our Course: A Reflection on Active Listening, Exchange, and Generosity”

    250-to-500-word write-up that evaluates our course’s participation. You must assign a grade in your evaluation
    Examples of meaningful participation:
    -Practice in active listening: paraphrasing what has been said, no interruptions, and refer to your classmates by name.
    -Creating a culture of exchange: directing comments at each other instead of just the instructor, be
    mindful of dominating the room; encourage others to take space as well, uplift each other when
    appropriate, citing sources, asking questions when you need to, allowing each other to learn (we are not always in the same places), and being generous towards each other.
    At the end of the semester, you will be required to complete a 250 to 500-word essay that evaluates the
    class’s participation. Your evaluation must be based on your evaluation of the class itself, not what you
    did. In your evaluation, you will need to provide a participation grade (out of ten points) for the class.
    Your justification for the grade must be based on examples from the course itself; it must be detailed and
    thorough. As such, you are encouraged to take notes on class participation throughout the semester so that
    you can use your observations to support your final assessment. This evaluation must be completed to receive your participation grade.

  • “The Parthenon Marble Debate: Should the Elgin Marbles Stay in the British Museum or Be Repatriated to Greece?”

    Your final paper must be at least 5 typed, double-spaced pages (approx. 1250 words).
    In this paper you must take a position on the issue of the potential repatriation of the Parthenon Marble Statues (known as the Elgin Marbles), currently residing in the British Museum, back to Greece. (In other words, you should be arguing whether the statues should stay in the British Museum or be sent back to Athens, Greece).
    You must craft an argument based on evidence, which can include the authority of experts in the field.  This is NOT an opinion-based paper. 
    You are required to draw upon and cite a total of FOUR sources.  
    Remember, this is NOT a forum in which to express your personal opinion on the matter.  Rather, you’ll be creating a logical, rational argument, based on evidence (that you have examined critically for assumptions, bias, etc.), from which you draw a conclusion. One way to think of this is that you are playing the part of a lawyer arguing your side in court.

  • The Notion of “Freedom” in the Age of Mass Immigration and Urbanization: Analysis of Primary Sources from 1880-1910

    you will analyze primary sources – which are documents or artifacts generated by the events, people, and actions associated with historical phenomena – that emerge as close to the actual timeline of the historical phenomena as possible. The specific goal of this assignment is to analyze the social, political, and economic motives that influenced people’s responses to the notion of “freedom” during the age of the mass immigration and urbanization of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/18-industrial-america/jacob-riis-how-the-other-half-lives-1890/ 

    William Graham Sumner on Social Darwinism (ca.1880s)

    Helen Hunt Jackson on a Century of Dishonor (1881)

    Andrew Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth (June 1889)

    Rose Cohen on the World Beyond her Immigrant Neighborhood (ca.1897/1918)

    Rudyard Kipling, “The White Man’s Burden” (1899)


    First, read these short documents with an eye toward how different groups/people approached the issues of immigration, American opportunities, race, and gender between 1880-1910.
    Then, write a short essay that addresses the following issues:
    According to American dogma, what was life supposed to be like for “all” Americans, regardless of race or ethnicity?
    Using examples gleaned from these sources, what was life for ethnic minorities and immigrants really like in the US? How did their lived experiences during this period impact the rest of their lives?
    Do you see examples of American racism and xenophobia at work in some of these sources? Provide examples if so.
    Do you recognize any modern trends regarding how native-born Americans treat immigrants and ethnic minorities? Any parallels with modern concepts of xenophobia?
    The minimum expectations are 3 full pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font. Your margins should be 1”. Structure your essay so that you have an introduction with a clear thesis statement that makes an argument, 3-4 specific examples from the readings, and a short conclusion. All cited material needs to come from the documents (William Graham Sumner). NO OTHER SOURCES MAY BE USED.

  • “The Dangerous Pursuit of Balance: The European Alliance System and the Outbreak of World War I”

    Historical Background: In the late 19th century, European leaders believed that by creating a balance of power they could prevent a large-scale war from happening. The idea was that if the major powers of Europe – countries like England, France, Russia, and Germany – were balanced in strength, no one country could dominate the rest. War could be avoided. Countries began to ally themselves with each other, which would eventually spell disaster as Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian nationalists, which sparked a war between Russia and Germany.
