History 3350 is a survey of English history from the earliest times to 1688.  The course will emphasize political, social, and cultural developments between the Norman Conquest and the Glorious Revolution. 

TEXTBOOKS 

• C. Warren Hollister, The Making of England
• Lacey Baldwin Smith, This Realm of England

A mid-term and a final exam are the only examinations.  These will be a combination of short answer and essay questions.  Their scheduled dates are noted on the reading assignment page.  Each will count as 40% of the student’s final grade. At the 
discretion of the instructor, the final may be comprehensive. 

The remaining 20% of the student’s grade will be based on a research paper on some aspect of English history before 1688.  The topic must be cleared with the instructor.  The paper should be 10-15 pages in length, typed, grammatically correct, and complete with appropriate citations of sources and bibliography.  The paper is due on 20 April.  Proofread your paper carefully before submitting it.  Failure to do so gives the impression that it was carelessly written and may adversely affect the grade assigned.   Failure to submit it on time will result in a penalty of one letter grade.  Papers will not be accepted after 4 May. 

ACADEMIC HONESTY 

Students are expected to be honest.  Please review page 274 of the Kennesaw State University catalog for 1998-1999 to be familiar with regulations concerning plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized access to official materials, and other matters related to academic honesty. 
  
ATTENDANCE 

While there is no mandatory attendance policy, students are expected to attend class and participate in class discussion.  Material discussed in class will be emphasized on exams, and active participation will be considered in the student’s favor when final grades are determined.  In borderline cases such participation could make the difference between a lower letter grade and a higher one.
