Broken Links

The links to the final essay assignment and the take-home quiz (for December 10th) don’t seem to be working consistently.  I sent an email this morning with those files attached, so check to make sure that you received that email.

Announcements for December 5th

- Instead of having an in-class quiz on December 10th, complete the take-home quiz posted under “Assignments.” Sometimes Internet Explorer puts the right sidebar at the bottom of the page, so you may have to scroll down (or use Firefox).  The take-home quiz will be due at the beginning of class–no exceptions.
- The instructions for the final essay are also available under “Assignments.” The final essay will be due on Wednesday, December 17th at 12:00 noon. ALL late papers will receive a 0, so you should be sure to budget enough time to upload it to Blackboard.

Announcements for December 1

1. We will be having another quiz on Friday, so don’t forget to keep up with the textbook readings.
2. Since the winter hours for the Constitution Hall site and Shawnee Mission site have kicked in, I will extend the deadline for the extra credit assignment to Friday. Your response paper will be due on December 5th (at 9am for the 9am section, or at 11am for the 11am section). There will be no other extensions for this assignment.
3. If you have not turned in a hard copy of your paper, you must bring one to the next class.

Take-Home Quiz Posted

I have posted this week’s take-home quiz as a Word file under “Assignments.” Print it out and bring it to class on Friday, October 10.  It is due at the beginning of class, no exceptions.

Announcements for 9/24

Since this week’s PowerPoint had more text than usual, I have added it to the course web page so you can review it before this week’s quiz.  Look for it to the right under “PowerPoints.”

Also, don’t forget that the reading from the Henretta textbook is all of Chapter 4, although most of the quiz questions will come from pages 99 to 118.  And, Friday’s class will focus on debating whether there was or was not a Great Awakening in colonial America, so don’t forget to read.

Announcements for August 25

I will put today’s PowerPoint presentation (“Cultures in Transition”) up under “PowerPoints.” I will only post selected presentations in the future.

Also, don’t forget to order your readings text from University Readers. More information about this can be found in the post below.

To prepare for the map quiz on Friday, study the physical map at the very back of the textbook America: A Concise History (which I usually call “the Henretta book”). You won’t be quizzed on cities or state capitals, but you should be able to identify states, major bodies of water, and mountain ranges.
