Course description
This capstone course is designed to give third year history students a thorough grounding in researching, writing and presenting a finished historical 'product' outside of the usual essay. To that end the course devotes a great deal of attention to initial project design, the implications of the method of delivery (print, web based, screen based) and comment on successive drafts as the project is developed. The staff members give close attention to the quality of prose, whatever its delivery means, from a magazine article to a film or radio script. Crotty and Spearritt bring a wealth of editorial experience to this task, from journal and book editing, to the creation of websites, radio and television scripts.
