General Instructions:
Using your textbook and lecture notes along with Canvas module resources including films and power points, thoughtfully respond to my question and another student’s question and support your answer with numerous and specific examples. Include information from each resource and make use of at least one primary source and one film. Write in paragraph form and include an introduction, body, and conclusion. Pay attention to Packback’s instant feedback as you write. You will also create your own question. Your question, like mine, must deal with that specific week’s chapter (and for a 13-week or 7-week class it can be multiple chapters!) and your question, like mine, will involve themes, ideas, events, etc., from the chapter’s text, films, or primary sources and you may modify a textbook question to create your own question.
Some questions to consider when analyzing any primary source or document:
· 1) Who wrote this document, when, and where?
· 2) What type of document is this?
· 3) Who is the intended audience of the document?
· 4) What are the main points of this document?
· 5) Why was this document written?
· 6) What does this document reveal about the particular society and period in question?
Let me know if you have any questions.
Packback Questions:
Participation is a requirement for this course, and the Packback Questions platform will be used for online discussion about class topics. Packback Questions is an online community where you can be fearlessly curious and ask open-ended questions to build on top of what we are covering in class and relate topics to real-world applications.

Dr. John Schmitz Google Voice: 571-445-4683 Office: CN 214G Email: [email protected]
Office Hours: M/W 1:00-2:15 and Virtual Class: Virtual (Zoom) Virtual: Email, Zoom, and Google Voice (Phone) T/R 4:00-5:20
Course Goals: History 101 sets forth major events in European and related world history from 4000BC to 1648AD.
Course Objectives: Students should be able to comprehend, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and explain major and related topics identified in the course description, texts, lectures, multimedia, writing, and discussion assignments.
Student Responsibilities: Completion of all assignments and exams. Attendance is important for academic success. If withdrawing from the course, you must complete the withdrawal process. Students who have not attended class (on campus or virtually) by the Census Date will be automatically withdrawn. The last day to drop with tuition refund or change to audit is February 1 (Census Date); the last day to withdraw without grade penalty is March 23. Complete all assignments on the due date through Turnitin. Late work will typically earn no higher than 70% and any work submitted more than 1 week after the due date will typically receive no credit. Attendance and other college policies are set forth in the Student Handbook and the NVCC catalog. Regular class attendance is critically important; missed classes will negatively impact your grade. All students accept the responsibility of attending all classes and doing all work on time. Excessive absences (more than 3 or not working online) may result in an “F” in the course regardless of grades. Finally, for a 15-week course you should spend 1 hour a day, every day (7 hours weekly), reading, watching the required films, writing, and studying. (For a 6 or 7-week course we move at an accelerated pace covering the same amount of material! Spending roughly 2-3 hours per day, every day, reading, working, and watching films is required in order to do well!) There is no substitute for time and effort and only you can do that—for a 15-week class, 1 hour per day, every day; for a 6 or 7-week class, 2-3 hours per day, every day.
Academic Integrity: Follow the Information Technology Student/Patrol Ethics Agreement and academic integrity standards as found in the Student Handbook. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense and will result in a zero for the assignment and/or an F in the course. Dictionary.com and Oxford Dictionaries are good online sources that define plagiarism. See those sources or myself if you have questions about plagiarism. See also When to cite sources and other documents in Paper Assignment Resources and Writing Guides module on Canvas. AI is an issue—avoid using AI in any form, excepting limited use of Grammarly for the paper only; use the NVCC Writing Center for help. All assignments are checked automatically by Turnitin for plagiarism and AI use, do not use AI!
Fire/Emergency Evacuation Procedures: In case of emergency, please follow the emergency procedure as discussed on the first day of class and as posted in the classroom.
General: NVCC is a place for learning and growing. You should feel safe and comfortable on campus. Let your instructor, his/her supervisor, the Dean of Students or Provost know if any problems arise. Students with disabilities may be eligible for class accommodations and should contact Disability Support Services (DSS) either online at https://www.nvcc.edu/disability-services/ or go to the Counseling Center, CA 112. For help studying, reading, and writing, go to the Reading and Writing Center, CG 409 or http://www.nvcc.edu/annandale/asc/writing/index.html
Required Texts: The Making of the West (textbook) and Sources of the Making of the West (primary source reader) Lynn Hunt, et.al., The Making of the West, Peoples and Cultures, A Concise History, 6th or 7th ed. (Bedford/St. Martins, Boston, 2019/2022). The 5th (2016) edition is acceptable. To do well, read the assigned chapters, at least 3 primary sources per chapter, and do the weekly Packback work for each chapter. You must use your textbook and primary source reader (hardcopies or e-copies) for the exams and the primary source analysis paper.
Katharine Lualdi, Sources of The Making of the West, Vol. 1: To 1750, 6th or 7th ed. (Bedford/St. Martins, Boston, 2019/2022). The 5th (2016) edition of the Sources book is also acceptable. The reader is needed for the exams.

sometimes need to double-click at the top or be signed or logged in (SSO login for PBS). You can also access videos by typing “library” or “libraries” in the main NOVA search bar, then in NOVA Libraries scroll to multimedia, click Video, scroll and click F- Films on Demand or for PBS videos click PBS or go to http://eli.nvcc.edu/videoservices/ Make sure you are signed in. For 6 or 7-week courses you will be spending more time watching videos per week. Summaries of films are online, e.g., http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/program/episodes/
Classes: Classes consist of lectures and discussions organized around readings and videos. We will discuss the text on the first and the films on the second meeting each week, so come prepared. Check the syllabus and Canvas often.
Grades: (Submit Paper and Exams through Canvas Assignments and Turnitin by 11:00 pm of the due date.) Paper: 25% –Topic 2% (Jan. 28); Outline 3% (Feb. 18); Draft 10% (March 24); Final 10% (April 21) Exams: 60%– Mid-term Exam: 30% (March 3); Final Exam: 30% (April 30) Packback: 15%– Packback Discussions 15%–15 x 1 point per chapter (Submit through Packback link on Canvas.)
Paper: Submit all 4 parts on Canvas Assignments, check I agree for Turnitin, due by 11:00 pm for each date. Type and double-space your paper. Use ¾ inch left and right margins and ¾ to 1-inch top and bottom margins. Your final paper should be 5-8 pages of actual text. The paper must have a title page, bibliography, and must include the proper use and citation of sources. You cannot earn higher than a D if you do not use and cite sources properly. See Chicago-Turabian Styles, When to Cite Sources, Sample Title Page, Writing Tips, Summary v. Analysis, and Primary Source Analysis Paper Example, among others, in Paper Assignment Resources Canvas module. Carefully read the Paper Assignment part the syllabus that describes in detail the primary source analysis paper assignment and note that each chapter comes with primary sources. Visit the writing center or see me for more help analyzing documents. Do not plagiarize and do not use AI! The paper’s central purpose is to analyze primary sources.
Exams: Submit on Canvas Assignments, check I agree for Turnitin, due by 11:00 pm for each due date. Each exam will consist of a long essay or essays, short essays, and identifications. A good essay has an argument supported by numerous and specific examples drawn from the texts, lectures, films, and class discussions. Exams are open-note and open-book; you must draw from the texts, class notes, films, and from course documents and power points, but do NOT use internet sources (except an academic site) and do NOT plagiarize! I’m looking for your ideas and arguments based on evidence found in sources used in this course—you must use evidence from the texts, class lectures, films, and Canvas resources. Do not plagiarize and do not use AI sources or Grammarly!
Packback: Submit through Packback link on Canvas. See the Packback Syllabus and Packback tab for the Assignment Instructions and the weekly due dates. Participation is required, and the Packback Questions platform will be used for online discussion about class topics. Packback Questions is an online community where you can ask open-ended questions to build on top of what we are covering in class and relate topics to real-world applications. Do not plagiarize and do not use AI!
Review Questions and Making Connections Questions (for help with Packback): You have RQs and MCQs (along with discussion and comparative primary source questions (Sources book) for each chapter) starting with Ch.1 that you may use from your text or Sources book to help you write your Packback questions. Use your answers as a basis for participating in class discussions and use your responses to help answer exam questions. See Packback instructions and syllabus for more information. Make the question and your answers academic (proofread, edit, and include an introduction, body, and conclusion) and use them to help with the exam.
Attendance/Participation (Suggestions for a successful semester) Learning is an interactive process. Come to class prepared and ready to contribute. Reading along with attendance and participation are vital for achieving success. To do well, you should study 6 to 9 hours per week for this or any 3- credit course (that means one hour per day, every day) and that is for a normal 15-week course, so double the time each day for an 8-week course (that means two hours per day, every day)! While there is no English prerequisite, I highly recommend that you pass English 111 or its equivalent prior to taking this class. Canvas resources include Paper Assignment Resources, Writing Guides, and Primary Source Links along with chapter modules and videos. Ask me if you have any questions about plagiarism, assignments, or the course—we are dedicated to your success, but you must put in the time and effort into all course assignments to do well.
Assignments: Submit by the due date through Canvas Assignments and check I agree for Turnitin by 11:00 pm! You may submit exams and paper parts early—you can start working on the exams and paper at your convenience. The assignments are not timed, but submit just once on Canvas, and answer all parts of the exams and do all work for each part of the paper before submitting your assignment on Canvas Assignments using Turnitin (check the “I

Primary Source Analysis Paper Assignment
Paper Assignment: Primary source analysis (supported by secondary sources for context and historical narrative). A great place for Western Civilization primary sources is PCC: https://guides.pcc.edu/c.php?g=225959&p=1497800 (PCC is Portland Community College Library) Note: for help studying, reading, and writing, go to the campus Reading and Writing Center, CG 409 or go to http://www.nvcc.edu/annandale/asc/writing/index.html
Using primary sources from chapters 1-15 of Sources of the Making of the West-Volume 1 or any primary source (book, novel, or Portland Community College (PCC) Library etc.,), what can we learn about a society or civilization during a particular historical era (from ancient history to 1648)? Write a 5–8-page paper analyzing what the primary sources reveal about important issues, events, or ideas. Your paper must contain a central, guiding thesis stating your viewpoint or interpretation of the documents and related historical events. Be creative, marshal your evidence (use your textbook to help you analyze your primary sources), and defend your views. Effective historical writing contains a clearly articulated thesis, convincing evidence, and insightful analysis.
Based on your reading or research, address the following: 1) What possible conclusions can you make about the nature of the society, culture, and politics during the time? 2) What concerns seem to be uppermost in the public mind? 3) What do your sources reveal the existence of particular tensions and anxieties peculiar to the period? 4) What attitudes do the writer(s) exhibit toward any of the following (depending on your topic and thesis): politics, international and military events, economics, religion, territorial and urban growth, ideologies, agriculture and industry, transportation and communication, reform movements, social issues, gender, race, immigration, slavery, class, crises, imperialism, war, technology, sexuality, racism, leisure, the family, etc…?
You should have the following prepared for each stage of the paper:
Paper Topic (2pts): Your first page should be a separate title page (include your name, course name and number, the paper’s title, and the date). The title should reflect the paper’s purpose (an analysis of primary sources)—eg., An Analysis of Ancient Roman Primary Sources. Include a brief description of a potential topic, a one or two- sentence thesis (arguments or points you intend to make) and some of the key ideas and themes and the importance of the primary sources you have chosen to analyze. Include a list of the primary sources you are intending to analyze from particular chapter(s) of the primary source reader or identify other primary source(s) you will use. In addition to the title page, I’m looking for a paragraph (which can include bullet points) that has the aforementioned information.
Paper Outline (3pts): Include the title page, add to your thesis (include important or key ideas and arguments that you will address based on primary sources from Sources chapter(s) or any primary source reader). You should have a basic introduction (with arguments and ideas based on the primary documents you are analyzing), an outline of the body (small paragraphs or “bullet points” of key ideas and arguments with brief descriptions of each main point), and a possible conclusion. Include a few citations (Chicago/Turabian-footnotes or endnotes or MLA-parenthetical) and a list of your primary and secondary sources (bibliography). The outline should include all the aforementioned information and should be 1-2 pages in length. Start citing sources and begin proofreading and editing!
Paper Draft (10pts): The draft has a title page, the text is double-spaced in paragraph form, the introduction is fully developed and reveals key ideas from the primary sources you will analyze and describes your main arguments, key points, and ideas that the paper’s body develops. Include a much more substantial paper body, now 3-5 pages of text, that more thoroughly develops each of your key arguments and ideas. Include a more refined conclusion. There can be some grammatical and other errors, but proofread and edit the draft so that it is in a polished form (relatively free of errors). All your sources must be properly cited (Chicago/Turabian footnotes or endnotes or MLA- parenthetical) and include a bibliography. You cannot earn higher than a “D” if you do not cite sources.
Final Paper (10pts): The final paper (5-8 pages of text) should include the draft requirements plus corrections, additions, and edits (including more document analysis and extensive proofreading) needed for final submission. As with the draft, you must properly use and cite your sources—you can earn no higher than a “D” if you do not. There should be significant improvement from the draft in terms of analysis and historical context. Adding a sentence or two or changing a few words from the draft is not the goal—put time and effort into improving the final paper.
NB: for help with your paper generally and citations, evaluation criteria, plagiarism, and primary source links etc. specifically, see the Paper Assignment Resources and Writing Guides Canvas module. The library has many online
