This course presumes a working knowledge of the history of Britain and its early Empire in the Americas and India, to around 1830 or so. If you do not have such a background, I strongly suggest that you acquire one. I have suggested one particular textbook below, but any good textbook or academic history of the empire will do.


Assignments:
Secondary Source Worksheet; also available as a Word .doc here.
Guidelines for leading discussion.
Book Review assignment, due June 16 and July 7.
Historiographic Essay guidelines. The final paper is due August 8 (Monday) by 6pm. Here are some ideas for finding topics.

Information on Style and Formatting:
A very basic Style Guide. You can also refer to the Chicago Manual of Style Quick Guide online, but these are not exhasutive; you will need to consult CMOS at the library.

All material on this website (including guides, powerpoints, etc.) is copyrighted unless noted otherwise and may not be reproduced or redistributed without permission. This means that you cannot sell it to note-taker sites/companies, which apparently someone did with my materials in the past.
