Section Information for Spring 2020
This research and writing intensive course for History majors examines women’s involvement in politics in the 20th-century United States while teaching students the fundamentals of the historical method. The goal is to lay a foundation in research, analytical, and writing skills that History majors can draw on as they take their upper-level coursework and eventually the capstone course, History 499. Students will learn how to develop research questions, find and analyze both primary and secondary sources, organize their analyses into arguments that are supported by evidence, and present those arguments effectively in both written and oral forms. Students will also learn to follow ethical principles, avoiding plagiarism and acknowledging intellectual debts through proper citations written in the disciplinary-standard "Chicago" style.
