In addition to completing the 400-level requirements, graduate students in the 500-level course will be required to complete the following:
Additional readings and group discussion, with particular emphasis on developing a more sophisticated understanding of the historiographic arguments and varieties of methodologies and analysis historians use in this field of inquiry.
Additional writing assignments, including critical analysis of sources and either an expanded course research paper or an additional paper above the requirements for the 400-level.
