Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Like all History Honours courses, the course will expect solid knowledge and understanding of a significant aspect of the past. Students will be expected to discuss the value and relevance of modern theories of nationalism to understanding the past. Seminar teaching will develop oral skills, with individual presentations and general discussion based on advance reading, historical documents, and 'readers'. The essays will develop the ability of students to work independently on a substantial body of material, and their general powers of criticism, analysis, and argument. The examination serves to consolidate the work of the course and tests students' knowledge, understanding and essay-writing skills under controlled conditions.
