The research papers must be handed in (in my "casier" or at the departmental secretary's office) before Tuesday evening.
One or two students have not noticed they had to do a research paper!
So here are the instructions again, from last November.
L2 British civilization. Research paper instructions November 2009
Each student in the “régime général” will choose one of the following subjects to write a research paper on.
- The research paper must be handed in immediately after the Christmas holidays.
- The research paper will be 1500 - 1600 words in length, plus the bibliography.
- The bibliography must contain at least five books and five websites.
- Handwritten work is not allowed. The research paper must be typewritten, and must use correctly the normal rules of layout for university work (footnotes, italics etc). There should be no spelling mistakes, as students will use automatic spellcheck programmes.
- Extreme care must be used to avoid plagiarism. If you use more than five words together from another source without saying where it comes from, this counts as copying.
- We will not be studying these subjects in any great detail in class. I will however put some links on my Teaching Blog to help you out a little. The address is http://johncmullen.blogspot.com/
- If you have questions to ask, you can leave them as comments on the Teaching blog (so other students can learn too) or contact me at john.mullen@wanadoo.fr
- Your research paper should reflect the fact that historians have different opinions. It should avoid simply giving a list of events, but should evaluate their importance.
Choose ONE of these subjects
A) The development of education over the twentieth century constitutes one of the deepest changes in people’s lives in Britain.
B) Did the twenty five years after the second worl war really constitute a Golden Age in Britain?
C) How and why have attitudes to children in Britain been completely transformed since 1900?
