a 6-7-page paper on FDR and the New Deal. Students are required to use at least six secondary sources, including journal articles and books for this paper, which explores one of these two subjects. The broad topics of your paper can vary.
You should establish three-four subordinate questions that will guide and inform your project. For example, a research paper topic may the evolution of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, 1959-1972. Subordinate questions may include: What were the key drivers for U.S. involvement? How did involvement escalate from advisory to a protracted war? What domestic organizations and leaders discouraged war in Vietnam?
You determine what questions you will answer about your chosen topic. Papers will be graded on clarity of argument, evidence used, citation of sources, punctuation and grammar You must cite your sources in footnote or endnote. Do not cite in text e.g. (Ogbar, 2012). Do not simply provide a list of sources at the end of your paper. Be sure to use your TA for assistance to clarify your assignment if you are unclear. You can also speak to me.
Among your six aforementioned sources, use at least two actual books. They may be in digital format. For traditional secondary or primary source materials: online sources for the research paper are constricted to digital forms of actual physically-published books, or scholarly journal articles from these pre-approved journals: American Historical Review, American Political Science Review, Journal of African American History, Journal of American History, Journal of Southern History, and Journal of Urban History. There are, literally, scores of other scholarly journals that can be used, but you will need approval for any online-based primary or secondary source, other than the ones noted here. Simply send me an email with the name and link to the journal. Use of websites, e.g., History.com, is allowed; however, three such sites count as one primary or secondary source. Submit in your paper topic in written form to your discussion section TA via email. Students must select their issue by September 22.
You are to use the Chicago Manual of Style for citation. You can access it here: http://lib.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/turabian.pdf. There are also reference books at the main library for the Chicago Manual of Style. (2) There will also be three objective quizzes, (3) and a mid-term and a final exam, which will not be cumulative. In accordance with University standards, make-ups will only be given with proper excuse from the Dean of Students office.
Use the source titled: The Era of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1933-1945
