Each essay MUST be properly documented with parenthetical citations, which include the name of the author and the page number – there is no need for a works cited page, as the texts are all common. For the Textbook, (Hunt, page number) is sufficient. For the Sources book (Lualdi, page number). If you want to cite the lectures, simply reference the name of the lecture (first slide of each lecture).

Only in the case you use outside sources do you need to have a works cited page but I strongly discourage you from using general webpages like Wikipedia. If you do use online sources you need to offer a link to them in your works cited page. As this is an exam, any instance of plagiarism or use of outside sources that are not cited will be reported to an Academic Integrity Officer. Any exam that has no citations will receive 0 points.

I am testing you on having watched/listened to the lectures and read the assigned readings from both the textbook and the Sources book.

If you use materials, books, and other items that are not easily accessible to the instructor, please keep a copy of them as I might ask you to provide them to me to verify the accuracy of your citations. If you can not provide them to me within a week of it being requested, you will receive 0 points for the exam.

Please keep in mind that the strongest historical essays pay close attention to the chronology of events. An essay that moves back and forth in time period is generally a disorganized essay, so I would suggest you try your best to keep your events and examples in chronological order.

Prompt: How important is it to consider the history of Northern Africa, the Middle East, or even the world as a whole when thinking about the history of Europe from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period? Is it possible to teach or discuss European history without taking into account developments in the rest of the world? Offer at least three examples of why not, or if you feel the opposite, why is it possible?

For this question, please try to offer examples that span the period from the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern period.
