Write a 3-page or so (approx. 750 word) personal review of the documentary: Niall Ferguson Civilization: The West and the Rest 2011 BBC series.
The objective of the review is to consider the theme of the series in the context of the course and to develop your skills in summarizing arguments, evaluating evidence, and drawing your own conclusions.
The review should identify what you believe to have been the most important points made in the series, identify the major sources of evidence used by the commentator, and raise any questions that you have after watching the series.
The reviews will be graded on the basis of both the accuracy with which they present the arguments of the series and the clarity and style with which the review is presented and the series is evaluated.
