History Workshops

Each semester, the history tutoring program works to help you succeed.

Part of this includes workshops that range from note taking to exam preparation. These are workshops that are valuable to you as a student.

In order to encourage you to attend workshops, you can earn extra credit in this course. For every workshop topic you attend, you will earn 5 points when you submit the attendance form to your professor. You can attend up to four different workshops for points.

Please note you may not attend any workshop topic more than once for extra credit points. Once you attend the workshop, please submit the slip of paper you receive with your full name, course and section number, and date of the workshop to your instructor.

Online students can also scan or photograph the attendance form and email it to the instructor. Dates, times, and topics for the History Workshops are listed in the Tutoring / Study Tips section of the course menu.

Guidelines for the Extra-Credit Historical Movie ReviewAttached Files:

1) For the Extra-Credit Historical Movie Review, choose one film or series from the attached list to watch, then follow the guidelines below for your paper. I have seen all of them. Check the syllabus for the point value of this assignment.

2) For the content of your paper:

- Give a BRIEF overview of the film.

- Provide some historical context/background for the people and events portrayed in the film. Connect them to the larger historical themes of the era.

- Based on your course material (lecture, textbook, course reader), discuss the historical accuracy of the film. Your answer must be more than, "this film is historically accurate." You may also use outside sources, if you wish (see below).

- OPTIONAL: Considering when this film/series was made, do you think there was a contemporary message? If so, how does that message relate to the actual historical events?

3) Writing Requirements: The ECHMR must be more than 500 words in length. Direct quotes do not count toward the required word count.

4) Research and Citations: This assignment does not require any outside research and can be completed using the lecture notes, the textbook, and the film. In the case of these sources, only direct quotes need to be cited, requiring only the author's last name in parentheses.

Outside sources (books, websites, etc.) may also be used, but in this case all information must be cited and must be listed in a works cited (or bibliography) at the end of the essay.

For your citations, please use Chicago, MLA, or APA. You will submit your paper through plagiarism checking software, so be sure to cite any and all direct quotes. For help with citations, see the "History / Writing Help" section of the course menu.
