Section Information for Spring 2012
Revolutionary Virginia This is a required course for history majors, which is designed to introduce students to methods of historical scholarship including the selection of topics, the techniques of historical research, and the use of primary documents and secondary literature. To a great extent the course will focus on writing skills and the organization of material into a clear and readable paper. Also the student will be introduced to the concept of historiography with a special emphasis upon Virginia during the American revolutionary era from about 1763 through 1789—a period rich with leaders and political philosophers whose impacts extended well beyond local Virginia history. The requirements will include several short papers and a research paper of from eight to ten pages. Because class participation will be a significant part of one’s grade, attendance is mandatory. No one who thinks he might have difficulty attending—job related or otherwise—should not take this section of history 300.View 4 Other Sections of this Course in this Semester »
