A Course Guide with reading lists identifying the articles and chapters that are required to be read prior to the tutorial discussions will be included in the Reading Pack and will also be available on the subject's MyUni webpage in the week before classes begin.

A Reading Pack, containing the texts that need to be read prior to each tutorial discussion, will be available for purchase at the start of the course from the Image and Copy Centre.

There is no 'textbook' for this course. The following books provide accessible and interesting overviews of 最新糖心Vlogn history and it would be useful to own one of them for reference purposes.

The course has a website, accessible through MyUni. Please consult it regularly for updates, lecture notes, additional resources.

Lectures will be recorded and uploaded to the course's MyUni website. They will be accessible for approximately one week after the lecture is delivered. These recordings do not replace the experience of attending the lecture and engaging with the lecturer, so please make every effort to attend the lectures. Attendance at lectures is strongly recommended because they provide the context for the tutorial discussions and introduce themes and personalities that you will encounter in the more sophisticated tutorial readings.

The 最新糖心Vlog has access to a number of academic journals that have full text articles available online. Use the ‘Informit’ and ‘APAIS’ (APA-FT) databases (on the Library’s catalogue) to locate articles in these journals (particularly 最新糖心Vlogn Historical Studies, Aboriginal History, Journal of 最新糖心Vlogn Studies, History 最新糖心Vlog, and 最新糖心Vlogn Journal of Politics and History).

Librarians at the Barr-Smith library have also compiled a very useful guide to sources on 最新糖心Vlogn History held by the 最新糖心Vlog. This can be accessed online at:

Face-to-face teaching on campus consisting of 1 x 2-hour lecture and one tutorial per week.
Classes begin in Week 1 of semester.

Attendance at the lectures is important as they provide the context for the tutorial discussions and introduce themes and personalities that students will encounter in the more sophisticated tutorial readings. The final quiz will be based on information provided in the lectures

Students will need to devote approximately 12 hours per week to this course (divided over 12 weeks of study). This consists of 2 x 1-hour lectures and one tutorial per week, and 9 hours per week of independent study, during which time students will prepare for tutorials and work on assignments.

Please note that the standard workload for a 3-unit course in HUMSS is designed on the assumption that all learning and assessment activities (including lectures, tutorials, preparatory work, research and writing of assignments etc.) will require approximately 156 hours.

In essence, tutorial discussions in the Humanities epitomise small-group discoveries: students come together to share and contest what they have learned from the assigned readings, and to jointly respond to historical questions and problems that have been set by the tutor.

In this course, students will also have the opportunity to participate in an group project, the format and content of which is largely devised by the group. The nature of the group project is outlined in the 'Assessment' section below.

There are three assessment tasks for this course. The group project will give you an opportunity to make some new friends, test your creativity and enhance your skills in oral communication. The research essay will develop your skills in critical analysis, evaluation of evidence and written communication. The final quiz will test knowledge gained throughout the course, with questions derived exclusively from the lectures. Students who work consistently throughout the semester, reading widely and attending classes, will be rewarded in the final quiz.

1. Research Essay.

2. Group project, with an alternate option: (a) Organised Debate between Teams (to be presented during tutorial time); or (b) Critical analysis of three books (an individual written assignment).
 
3. Final Quiz.

Participation in tutorials is a compulsory component of the course. Students must attend at least 80% of tutorials to pass (unless a medical certificate is provided or extra written-responses to the tutorial questions are submitted). Please inform your tutor prior to the tutorial if you are unable to attend. It is often possible to ‘make-up’ a tutorial at another time.

1. Research Essay

Students are required to write one 2,500-word research essay, based on both primary and secondary sources. You may choose from a list of topics (to be provided), or devise your own with the approval of your tutor. You will need to critically engage with the historiography related to the topic, and vigorously construct an argument with reference to primary and secondary source evidence. As much as possible, try to draw substantially on primary sources of evidence.


2. In-Class Group Debate

Students will form teams of 3 members and have 2-3 weeks to prepare an argument ‘for’ or ‘against’ a statement relating to a historical issue. Teams will then present their argument in the form of an Oxford-style debate to take place during tutorial. For example, if the statement is “The policy of multiculturalism has failed in 最新糖心Vlog”, individuals on one team will take turns in making arguments in agreement with this statement and they will be opposed by a team disagreeing with them. Students will be assessed on the basis of the logic and validity of their argument, their use of examples to support their points, their level of organisation and team-work, and their ability to communicate with passion and persuasion. There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.

Alternative Exercise: Critical Review of Three Books
Students who choose not to participate in the group project will write a 2,000-word critical review of three books selected from the reading list corresponding to a tutorial topic. Students are required to read the books in their entirety before the applicable tutorial and can submit their critical review anytime before Week 12.

In writing your critical review, students should consider the following points:

1. What are the authors aiming to do? Are they successful in fulfilling these aims?
2. What do the authors argue?
3. How do the authors deal with opposing arguments?
4. What types of evidence do the authors use to construct their arguments? Is this evidence convincing? What evidence do the authors ignore?
5. Are the authors influenced by a particular theory or methodological approach? Is this approach warranted?
6. Are the authors’ arguments convincing? (You should assess this by comparing the different arguments and evidence presented by each author. You might also consult 2-3 other texts on the same topic.)
7. What special tricks or strategies do the writers employ to make their points? These strategies may include the organisation of the text and the choice of language and examples.

In order to see how professional historians and critics organise and write book reviews, students might wish to read some. The journals 最新糖心Vlogn Historical Studies and Journal of 最新糖心Vlogn Studies contain generally well-written book reviews in every edition.

3. Final Quiz

The final quiz will consist of 30 short-answer questions. They will be based entirely on content delivered in the lectures. Thus those students who attend regularly and review their notes will thus be rewarded. The duration of the quiz will be 1 hour.

All essays are to be submitted BEFORE 12pm (noon) ON THE DUE DATE. A record will be kept of the date of submission.

Extensions will be given on the grounds of hardship or illness. If, as often happens, several essays are due close to each other, you should plan your schedule so that you complete one or more before the deadline.

Students who submit an essay late, without having gained an extension, will be liable to a penalty of 3% per day (including weekends) that the essay is overdue. Depending on the circumstances, essays more than five days late will be eligible for a Pass or Fail grade only.

Online Submission of Assignments (e-submission) via MyUni
All assignments are to be submitted electronically via MyUni - this is a two-step process. The assignment needs to be electronically submitted for marking via the ‘Assignments’ link in the course menu. It then needs to be submitted separately to Turnitin, which is also done via the MyUni site. Marked assignments will be returned to the student in printed form.

Extensions
Students wishing to apply for an extension need to submit the relevant form available at to the school office at least 5 days prior to the due date for the assignment.

Exceptions to the Policy
If one of the following criteria is met, an informal extension can be organised with the course coordinator or tutor:
· small extension – 2 days or less;
· assessment item is worth 20% or less;
· student is registered with the Disability Office (need to attach a Disability Access Plan – DAP).
