The course will include one ten-page paper, which will include sourced material. Note that this paper will be required to be in Times New Roman font at the 12 -point scale. Students must use correct grammar and demonstrate historical knowledge and analysis in order to receive full credit for their papers.
The paper will be divided into three parts.
1/ The first part is your descriiption of an actual historical event: Herbert Hoover and the Stock market crash.
2/ The second part is you will change a part of that event and how that affected the outcome. This means an actual change with reason. It isn’t enough to say “slavery did not exist”, I need to know why in your new history it never occurred. For example, Hitler did not invade Moscow because he had more accurate intel about the Russian defenders on the European front.
3/In The third part you must expand on what that change has meant to the rest of history to the present day. Think logically about the repercussions, both for good or ill. Using the above for example Germany not exposing it to a two-front war concentrates on Britain and conquers it. Germany then invades Russia, but not during the winter, and with the full Nazi force overwhelming the Russians, allows them to take over the country.
There will be a sample paper accessible on my Learning Web page.
Requirements
There will be a topic paper. This will be a part of your grade. You are free to choose with some constraints, what you may be considering to change, and some ramifications. This paper will be typed with a possible topic, at least one bibliography of titles that you looked at. The window for this paper is slight, it will not be accepted one week before the full paper or afterward.
At least three outside sources (Wikipedia is not a source), meaning other than your textbooks. These can be from any form (Book, article, internet) as long as they are properly sourced in either endnotes or footnotes.
Font is Times New Roman size 12
Endnotes or footnotes are to be used, not parenthetical citation.
Pages must be numbered. Placement does not matter.
Preferred spacing is 1.5, but double spacing is acceptable as long as the page count is ten full pages.
Page count is ten pages. Anything below that will be marked off. If you try to expand your page count by not following the above rules, your paper will be marked off. Illustrations, graphs, tables and the like will not count to page count.
Any subject matter is allowed as long as it is well researched and conforms to the course. If you do not it is an automatic failure. The only exception to this is the slight overlap of 1301 and 1302. If you do want to do a paper that is slightly beyond the course please talk to me. If you write a paper about WWII and you are taking 1301 you will fail.
I do not want to hear a political screed. For example, if you write a paper about the legalization of marijuana, that paper needs to be well researched, documented, and show an understanding of historical materials. If all that you give me are reasons why it should be a certain way no matter what the subject matter is, it will be an automatic failure. Please note, that this isn’t a ban against controversial subjects, but rather a suggestion that if you do a controversial subject that it be very well researched and written.
Amount of pages devoted to each chapter is subjective. You should devote your bulk of your paper to the first section with some devotion to the second and third sections being a couple pages. Do not give section two and three two small paragraphs at the end of page ten that will be considered inadequate for the assignment. Ideally you should have five pages for your first section, two your second, and three for your third, but that is only a loose page count. Also, please note that there isn’t a penalty for going over the page count.
Grammar and spelling will only count if errors are excessive. A few errors are okay. Do realize that spell check does not catch everything.
No orphans, which are the one sentence of a paragraph on a new page. If this occurs, please edit.
Papers should have a cover sheet, with name, date, and class period. I have other classes and if I don’t know which class you are in it may cause some problems. Note that the cover sheet does not count towards the page count. Also do not put cover sheet information on your first page.
Papers should have a bibliography. The bibliography is separate from your endnotesor footnotes. Note that the bibliography does not count towards the page count.

As it is evident in the grading scale it is possible to receive a grade in the negative range. However, since you made the effort of writing the paper, if your work contains many errors that cause multiple deductions, I will stop at the grade of 20.
Sources: All materials that are facts, quotes or ideas not the student’s own must be sourced in the appropriate manner utilizing endnotes or footnotes. If not properly sourced the material could be considered plagiarism. Please note that Wikipedia will not be considered an appropriate source. A primary source is a document or physical object, which was written or created during the specific time under study. It is eyewitness testimony. Some types of primary sources include original documents, creative works, and artifacts. A secondary source analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. Secondary sources are mainly publications (textbooks, magazine articles, non fiction books, encyclopedias). This is extremely important. You must source, if you recall the Grading scale, if you do not source facts, quotes, or ideas not your own, your paper will be deducted 40 points. It costs so much because as mentioned without sourcing your paper can be considered plagiarism. Your Bibliography or Work Cited page is not sourcing. The point of a source is to tell me exactly what page of a book you found the particular fact, quote, or idea not your own to give proper credit to the writer of that work.
Endnotes/Footnotes: There are several different styles such as MLA to write papers with. Style chosen is your preference but be consistent. That being said, there will be no parenthetical citation. The differences between footnotes and endnotes are where you put the information. Footnotes are at the bottom of the page and endnotes will be put at the end on a separate piece of paper that will not count towards your page count. For example this sentence will be referenced with a notation in the text. 1 See below for Example of Footnote. If the source is used multiple times cite the author 2. However if you have multiple books by the same author also put in the specific title of the book.
Quotes: Quotes are what a person directly stated, not what an author wrote. Lincoln said “Four score and seven years ago. If you are using information gained from a book, article, or website; put the information in your own words, then source it.
Bibliography: This is separate from endnotes. You will put the bibliographic information of your sources. The difference between the two is the bibliography is the book you used whereas the footnotes or endnotes is the specific pages that you are getting your information from.
Example: Author, Book/Article Name
Publication City: Publisher/Website, Publication Date
Publication City: Publisher/Website, Publication Date
1 Author, Book/Article Name
(Publication City: Publisher/Website, Publication Date) page numbers
2 Author, new pages
