The Oxford English Dictionary defines modernity as “An intellectual tendency or social
perspective characterized by departure from or repudiation of traditional ideas,
doctrines, and cultural values in favour of contemporary or radical values and
beliefs.”[1] Historians look at the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution as the
“Dual Revolution,” the moment the modern came into existence and when tradition
began to be challenged in many ways. New notions of government, liberty, nationhood,
cities, empire, social class, economics, and war took center stage in public and political
discussions. In your exam, please answer the following: How did the Dual
Revolutions (and their effects) shape modern western politics and society? You
should consider the activities and ideas of different groups and people, such as social
activists, urban planners, political scientists, politicians, imperialists, etc. In answering
this question consider the reactions represented by different ideologies: Romanticism,
Socialism, Nationalism, Liberalism, etc. Make sure you make clear to which aspects of
modernity different writers are reacting.
Primary sources you must consider, discuss and quote in your essay exam:
Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Women
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
Secondary Sources you must consider and use as background in your exam:
B. A. Pavlac’s Supremacies and Diversities
Class lectures
Your exams will be graded according to the following criteria:
Introduction & Conclusion-10%
“Roadmap” Must tell me what you’re discussing in the essay. Hook your reader into the
topic with a strong first sentence. Provide some essential background to the exam.
Likewise for conclusion, tell the reader where they’ve been, remind them why it’s
important.
Thesis Statement-10%
Single statement laying out the argument of the essay. Should be obvious to reader.
Primary Source Evidence-30% must include direct, relevant quotes from
Marx’s Communist Manifesto. Beyond quoting this text, you must also explain the
significance of the evidence you use from the text and HOW the evidence supports the
point you’re making.
Secondary Source Evidence-10%
Must include and use secondary sources (textbook, lectures, reputable website,
database information)
Citations-10%
Correct and consistent citations of ALL materials used
Accuracy, Organization & Style -30%
Information is correct. Command of course information and readings should be evident.
Proofread. Formal.
Your essay should have an introduction that helps your reader (me) identify your
response to the essay prompt. Think of the introduction as a roadmap—it will tell me
exactly what you plan to talk about in your exam. Make sure you have a main thesis
statement—one sentence that describes what your essay will argue about how people
reacted to and experienced modernity in the nineteenth century. Did they react well?
Badly? In different ways? Make that clear in your thesis.
Each part of your answer should follow in supporting paragraphs. Each of these must
have an easily identifiable topic sentence that describes how the paragraph supports
your main point. Each paragraph should also provide evidence. Evidence must be
drawn from the primary sources listed above. For this exam you must provide primary
source evidence in the form of paraphrasing AND direct quotations from A Vindication
of the Rights of Women and The Communist Manifesto. Supporting, or secondary,
evidence must come from your textbook and lectures, (and from library resources if you
need them). That is how you’ll fill in the chronology and background information.
Every time you use a piece of evidence, either in the form of paraphrasing, summary,
or direct quotation, you need to provide me with a citation—a reference that indicates
where you got the information, who wrote that information, etc. A guide to proper
citations for history papers is available on Moodle. You must use this guide as your
write your exam. If you do not cite your sources properly, you will receive no credit for
that portion of the exam.
Finally, your essay should have a conclusion. The point of a conclusion is to summarize
your main argument. It reminds the reader of what your main point was and how you
demonstrated the correctness or viability of your argument. Just as the introduction tells
a reader where you’ll be going in the exam, the conclusion should tell the reader where
they’ve just been. It can feel repetitive, but it is important for you as a writer to reflect on
what you’ve just accomplished, and it is important for the reader to have a nice wrap-up
of your argument.
Your essay will also be evaluated on accuracy and organization and style. This means
that I’m looking for proofreading. Are all of your statements true? Do you display
understanding and command of the information in the texts? Do all of your paragraphs
have topic sentences? Do they all provide evidence to your reader? Are all your words
spelled correctly? Is the essay written in a formal manner? Did you avoid informalities?
Is the essay grammatically correct? Is the punctuation right? Part of convincing your
reader to take you seriously means taking time with spelling, grammar, and style.
Remember, the point of an essay exam is to do the following:
• Show you understand concepts that provide the basis for the course
• Show you can use those concepts to interpret specific materials
• Show you can make connections, see relationships, draw comparisons and contrasts
• Show you can synthesize diverse information in support of an original assertion
• Show you can justify your own evaluations based on appropriate criteria
• Show you can procure relevant secondary evidence to support your claims
• Show you can argue your own opinions with convincing evidence
• Show you can think critically and analytically about a subject
