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, and will seek to promote understanding of the history and nature of the historical discipline by studying a range of interpretations of the French Revolution. Seminar teaching will develop oral skills, with individual presentations and general discussion based on advance reading and/or historical documents. 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.
