HIS 101: History of Western Civilization I
The Final Exam consists of three sections and seven questions for a total of 100 points. There is a two-hour time limit. Once you begin the exam, you cannot pause and resume later. The Final Exam must be completed before the conclusion of Module 7. Contact your instructor for the exact dates the exam will be available.
The material covered by the Final exam will include material from Modules 5-7 only.
Part I. Identification
The first four questions are identification questions. You will define and state the significance of four people, places, events, or other terms in one paragraph of at least five sentences. Each response is worth 10 points for a total of 40 points.
To answer these questions, begin by addressing who or what, where and whenleading you to a factual definitionthe term was. Then conclude your paragraph by stating how the term is significant to our understanding of historyanswering the questions how or why. See an example below.
Keep the following in mind when considering significance:
Stating that the term is significant because it still exists today is not specific enough.
Using Wikipedia definitions does not explain how the term represents class topics or themes, nor is it useful as a class assessment.
Example: Middle Passage
The Middle Passage was the name of the sea journey of slave ships from West Africa to the West Indies during the 1700s. The significance of this is that the Middle Passage not only brought slaves which added to the growth of the population, but also brought diversity among individuals. Another thing to note is that a growth in population also added to the amount of commerce taking place in a given colony. Eventually, a classification system is created revolving around race.
