Age of Revolution
The course is designed to examine the origins and course of the revolutions that occurred in Europe and the Western Hemisphere in the late-eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. While this is a history offering, other components directly related to the social sciences will be used to help explain the causation of revolutions and the social forces that make them possible. The revolutions that will be covered include the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Haitian Revolution as well as the Revolutions of 1820, 1830, and 1848. Textbooks, Schedule, PowerPoint Notes, Bibliography, and other important information can be found by using the appropriate hyperlink. Undergraduate Assignments: There will be two (2) take-home examinations and a book review over the outside readings for the class. All examinations follow essay form. During the take-home examination, students may use their lecture notes, books, or other outside sources; however, students will not use encyclopedias in their response. Likewise, all outside sources will be properly annotated, in other words, endnotes or footnotes will be included in the essay. Graduate Assignments: Graduate students working on a Master of Arts of Teaching will prepare a unit plan of study, which will include a general essay explaining their project. They will also take one of the two examinations as well as write a two book review over two of the readings for the course. Graduate students working on a Master of Arts degree will take one of the two examinations, but they will have the option of completing either a research project or a comprehensive book review essay over eight books concerning the history of the American Revolution, French Revolution, and Revolutions of 1820, 1830, and 1848. If you do not know how to write a critical book review, graduate students are advised to examine the New York Review of Books or the New York Times Book Review.
