Section Information for Fall 2011
This course is a research seminar for senior history majors. Students are expected to build on knowledge and skills they have developed in previous coursework, especially HIST 300, to conduct research in both primary and secondary sources and write a substantial paper of 20-25 typed, double-spaced pages, plus footnotes and bibliography. Students will do some readings in common, then pursue individual topics within the framework of a certain time and place: the Depression and New Deal era (defined expansively from about 1929-1948) in Virginia. Taking advantage of sources available locally or nearby, students will gain a better understanding of the interaction between local, national and perhaps international events and historical contexts. They will also improve their abilities to define a viable research topic, work independently, provide and receive peer review, and organize, write and revise a final paper.View 3 Other Sections of this Course in this Semester »
