Final Review, December 14, 2009

Prof. McLure — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:24:45 +0000

As discussed in class, we will have a review for the final exam on Monday, December 14, 2009, from approximately 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. This is contingent on our own classroom being available at that time; if it isn’t, we will try to find another one.

This will be very informal — come when you like, leave whenever you wish, you can bring snacks and beverages (but let’s try not to trash the place!). We will try to get through all the IDs, and I’ll give you some general hints and tips for the final essay questions.

Our final exam is scheduled for TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2009, 3:00 – 6:00 P.M.

See you at the review!

Third and Final Blog Comment Assignment

Prof. McLure — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:59:26 +0000

You can find your final Blog Comment Assignment here. Please read the instructions carefully. Make sure you title each of your comments with either #5 or #6, so that at the end of this semester you will have submitted a total of 6 comments to the blog. These comments are due before class on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.

Update to Blog Assignment #3

Prof. McLure — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:45:15 +0000

Because the link to the Campbell article doesn’t seem to work, or to work only intermittently, I have uploaded the entire .pdf file to the blog, and you can find it here.

Updated: Note that this was copyrighted material and I have now removed the link since everyone should have completed the assignment.

Blog Assignment #3

Prof. McLure — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:44:33 +0000

You can find your third and final Blog Assignment here. Please read the journal articles, the related texts, and the instructions very carefully. If you have any questions or problems accessing the articles, please notify me immediately. The completed assignment must be posted to your Student Page prior to class on Wednesday, December 2, 2009.

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO PASTE YOUR ASSIGNMENT INTO THIS PAGE! If you have any questions about how to post your assignment to your Student Page, contact me for further instructions. I’ll do a very brief mini-review after class on Monday for anyone who still is having problems.

Second Pair of Blog Comments

Prof. McLure — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:15:28 +0000

You can find the link to the second pair of Blog Comments on the Breen and Bouton articles here. These are due before class on Monday, October 26, 2009. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO LABEL YOUR COMMENTS AS #3 AND #4 along with your name. So at the end of the term each of you will have three Blog Assignments on your student page and six Comments each on other pages. If you have any questions or problems accessing the assignment, please let me know immediately.

Instructions for Putting Blog Assignment #2 on Your Page

Prof. McLure — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:44:16 +0000

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to review this in class. But all you have to do is click on your student page, look up at the top of this window and see “Edit Page,” and click on that. This will open the editing window and you will see your previous assignment. Scroll down to the bottom of that assignment, and paste in your second assignment. Try to not erase the first one, although it’s okay if you do. Ideally, at the end of the class, all three of your assignments will be on the page. I hope this makes sense — if you can’t figure it out, email me the assignment and I will paste it to your page.

Reading & Discussion Schedule, Oct. 5 thru Oct. 9

Prof. McLure — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:35:40 +0000

This week we will conclude our discussion of the society, economy, and culture of the eighteenth-century British American colonies and turn to the European rivalries and wars in North America, particularly the French and Indian (or Seven Years’ War), that laid the foundation for the Revolution. You should have read Chapter 5 in Out of Many and should be working on Chapter 6 this week. Wednesday, October 7, we will hold a class discussion of the primary documents in Chapter 4 of Constructing the American Past, so make you sure you have read it and the other documents I have provided by that date.
