In this assignment, you are asked to reflect upon and assess your work in your course. I have a short video about the assignment that I originally created for HIS 112, but the same principles apply for the other HIS courses. You should write a long paragraph (about 3/4 of a page in length, double-spaced with one-inch margins, font size 10 or 12) in which you consider these points.
- Your overall thoughts on what you learned in your study of history in the course
- Your understanding of the work of historians
- Your ability to work with and critically analyze historical sources
- The changes you have noticed in yourself as a writer and as a historian during the course
- If you have always hated history, or done poorly in history classes, has your attitude towards history changed or have you done better with this particular history course?
- and finally, assess the quality of the work that you have done in the course and explain what grade you feel that you have earned
Your coverage of these topics does not have to be in the order listed, and you do not have to cover every single one of these topics. You may also personalize your writing of this assignment, i.e., it is OK to use "I."
Your assignment should be submitted on Canvas.
