Primary Source Reviews:
5 at 25 points each for a total of 125 points.
Students are required to write 5 primary source reviews using the assigned sources indicated in the syllabus. Each review should be about 1.5-3 pages in length. The review must use information from at least 2 active websites. Your goal is to place the primary source in historical context and to evaluate/interpret the source's relevance to its time period.
Guidelines for primary source evaluation:
Each review should provide an accurate description of the author's argument, appropriate biographical information about the author, and sufficient historical background for the time period in which the primary source was written. In addition to the course text, biographical information for the author and historical background for the primary source must come from 2 (or more) active web pages. Include the addresses for each web page at the end of the review, but DO NOT link the page to your document. The review should be about 1.5-3 pages in length.
