HIS 121, Fall 2011

Study Guide for Mid-Term Examination

The examination will be in two parts.   Each part will be worth half of the total point value, and you will have 50 minutes to complete both sections.  

Part 1 will be an identification section.   In order to obtain full credit for an i.d., you will need to define and explain its historical significance.   A full and compelling response will likely need to be 4-5 sentences long.
