COURSE DESCRIPTION:
BLACKS IN AMERICAN HISTORY SINCE 1877: A chronological study of African American history and culture since 1877 with an emphasis on African American contributions to American life and thought. Crosslisted with AFAM 359. Junior and Senior levels. 3 credit hours. Fulfills General Education Requirements, Category E.
COURSE GOALS:
1. To discuss and examine the contributions of African Americans to American life and culture since 1877.
2. To examine historical scholarship on African Americans since 1877.
3. To create a deeper appreciation for the contributions of African Americans to American life and culture.
GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE GOAL:
This course helps fulfill the requirements for Category E: World Cultures and American Cultural Diversity in Western Kentucky University’s General Education program. It will help you attain:
* a historical perspective and an understanding of connections between past and present.
* an appreciation of the complexity and variety of the world’s cultures.
This course uses lectures, readings, and class discussions to introduce you to major phases in the history of the world’s cultures. This course is designed to develop your ability to identify ideas and achievements characteristic of these cultures. Exploring change over time will be one of the major themes of this course. Historians are most frequently involved in answering the question, “How did this develop from that?” Class assignments are designed to help you answer this question for those cultures addressed in each class thereby strengthening your grasp of historical perspective and causation. This course will also encourage you to think analytically about how each culture has adjusted to internal and external challenges and opportunities that have confronted them in the past.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Each student will be expected to demonstrate a working understanding of African American history since 1877.
2. Each student will be expected to read and complete all assignments including two examinations.
3. Each student will be expected to use literate prose in examinations and written projects.
EXPECTATIONS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA:
1. Students will be evaluated for their mastery of class sessions via a midterm and a final examination. The exams will consist of both objective (multiple choice, matching and true-false) and subjective (essay) types of questions. The exams will be based on lectures, classrooms discussion of the readings, and other materials presented in class.
2. Students are expected to attend all classes. No more than one (1) unexcused absence is allowed. A final grade reduction of one letter grade per absence over one will be imposed.
3. Students are expected to read the articles from Major Problems in African-American History and be prepared to discuss them in class. Essay and objective questions will be derived from these discussions. A schedule for the readings will be distributed in class. Also, this volume can used to jump start your search for a research paper topic (see below).
4. Students are required to complete a research paper on a specific topic in African American history since 1877. This double-spaced, typewritten document must be no less than ten (10) nor greater than fifteen (15) pages of text. The bibliography, cover page and outline are not included in this number. DO NOT SUBMIT THE PAPERS IN A PLASTIC OR CARDBOARD COVER. Stapling the paper will suffice. Papers should conform to Mary Lynn Rampolla, A Pocket Guide to Writing in History (Bedford St.Martin’s). Students are required to submit a typed, one-two page thesis statement for their paper. This process will allow the instructor to provide advice on the feasibility of writing the paper on the preferred topic. Since there is no prerequisite for this class, some of the class may/may not have any background in writing research papers for a junior-level (300) history/African-American studies class.
Please note: PAPERS THAT HAVE INTERNET BASED SOURCES ONLY ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. There are printed sources available. Each source cited MUST have the full author’s name, source title, place of publication, publisher, year of publication and pages actually used. This is required because students often fail to include this data in their list of works cited and bibliographies.
Your term paper topic should be no more two (2) no less than one (1) page(s) typed. It should provide a description of who, what, when, where and how you paper will address the topic. The due date is listed below.
The point values are as follows: paper topic (20), midterm (80), final (100) term paper (100) for a total of 300 points. The total number of points will be divided by three to arrive at the course numerical average. The following scale will be used to determine the letter grade: A = 100-89; B = 88; 79; C = 78-69; D = 68-59; and F = 58-0.
5. Withdrawal Policy. “Topnet may be used to withdraw from individual courses or to completely withdraw from the semester according to dates published in the Academic Calendar in this guide. Students who cease attending class(es) without an official withdrawal will receive failing grades. The official date of the withdrawal is the date the withdrawal is finalized on Topnet. Tuition refunds or reductions in outstanding fee liabilities for students who withdraw or change their status from full-time to part-time is stated in the Tuition and Fee Section of this guide. A $20 Schedule Change Fee will be assessed for each course withdrawal.” Source: WKU Fall 2005 Registration Guide, page 5.
