Assignment
Instructions:
In this project, you will need to find, review, and summarize four different reputable sources concerning a topic related to the last 400 years in Western civilization. You may choose any topic regarding Western Civilization (Such as the Expansion of Europe, Life in a Era of Expansion, The Revolution in Energy & Industry, Revolution in Politics, Ideology and Upheavals, The Age of Nationalism, and more) but be careful that your selection is neither too large nor too focused in order to ensure that your summaries can effectively discuss the topic. If the topic is too narrow, you may be unable to find four qualified sources. In that case, broaden the topic.
If POSSIBLE your sources are required to come from or be similar to CSU Online Library and fit the following criteria:
One primary source: A document, object, or other material directly related to the topic and time. This should be a document that provides a first-hand account of your topic without previous knowledge of the event. Examples may include newspapers, diaries, letters, film, records, or speeches.
One current, relevant article: An article published in a reputable periodical within the last five years.
One peer-reviewed article: An article from a respected publication put out by universities, historical societies, or another academic entity that has clearly identified the credentials of the author, reviewer, and publisher.
One published book: This can be in electronic or print form and from any time. Be sure to research the publisher, author, and year as that may influence bias. Do not submit more than four sources; only the first four sources listed will be considered.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
