Hist. 151.003 1st EditionExam # 1 Study Guide Chapters 16-18For Dr. Knaus’s tests, it is imperative that you know all that you can before coming into class. To do that, you must know key points. Instead of re-reading over notes, it is better to ask yourself some basic questions to prove and solidify your knowledge on the key terms. Below are the lecture dates along with all of the points covered in Dr. Knaus’s class. Ask yourself the following questions, and see if you are truly prepared for the in-class essay. Unfortunately, I do not know the prompt or the chapter on which the exam will be given, as I am a fellow student as well; however, having taken her class before, I do know what her expectations are. I hope this helps benefit your knowledge of the three chapters covered in class.Good luck, and happy studying.Lecture 2 (January 23rd)Reconstruction (1863-1877) – Chapter 16- What was Reconstruction?
