Course Description: The prehistoric and contemporary Native American experience, Spanish colonial times, the Mexican National period, the U.S. federal territorial years, and Arizona's political and economic development during the twentieth century. Prerequisites: None. Course Requirements : Test 1—100 points (20%) Test 2—100 points (20%) Test 3—100 points (20%) Historical Site—100 points (20%) Book Report—100 points (20%) Grading is based on the usual 90, 80, 70, 60 scale. Exams: The exams will consist of term identification, matching, and essay questions. The exams are closed book and will be drawn from both the readings and lectures. It is advisable that you read the chapters prior to the class. Book Report: Your book report will be on George Webb’s A Pima Remembers, and will be 2-3 pages in length. The report must be printed, double-spaced, with 1½-inch horizontal and vertical margins. Also, please include a bibliography or work’s cited page. Do not simply write what the book is about, but analyze the book, citing specific passages, and give me your thoughts and feelings. The report is due November 23rd. If your paper is turned in after November 23rd, then it is late. You lose ½ credit if the report is late, so get it done early.Historical Site: You must visit and/or research a site that has historical significance, write a paper about the site, and give an oral presentation. The site must be submitted by September 7th (it can be submitted sooner) and approved by the instructor. It is suggested that you pick two sites—approval of sites is on a first come, first served basis; students will not be allowed to choose the same site. The site, for example, could be a historic building, town, or museum. Be creative. The Grand Canyon or Meteor Crater won’t work. This paper will be 2-3 pages in length, typed, double-spaced, with 1½-inch vertical and horizontal margins. It must also include a works cited/bibliography page. You need to discuss the history of the site, as well as explain why this site is historically significant. The paper is due November 2nd. On November 9th, students will give a 5-minute presentation about their chosen site. Do not read your paper to the class—talk about what you liked and disliked about the site, new facts you learned, did you enjoy visiting/researching the site, and if you did, would you recommend it to others? One half of the grade is for the paper and one half is for the oral presentation. Again, you lose ½ the credit if the paper and/or presentation are late. ***In regards to the book report and historical site paper, it is imperative that you proofread your work before submitting. I will deduct points if sloppy writing affects the point you are trying to make*** Attendance Policy: You are allowed one absence, with the exception of official absences (see Student Handbook). You will lose 3 points off of your final grade for each absence after the first absence. For example, if your final grade is 92%, and you have 2 absences, your final grade is now 89%. You will be dropped after your 4th absence. Also, please be courteous to the other students and the instructor by not coming in late or leaving early. Leaving at the break constitutes a full absence. Please try to let me know beforehand if you have to leave early. Disabled Student Resources: Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate disabled students. Students requiring special assistance and/or accommodations should consult the instructor. Also, the Disabled Student Resources Center (623-845-3080) in the SPS building can assist you. ***If you are having problems of any kind, please fell free to come and talk with me*** Readings and lectures are subject to change.
