Purpose of the Course.  This course will examine the course of Charlotte-Mecklenburg history from earliest times until the Present.

Testing:

There will be a mid-semester test (June 17th) and a final examination at the assigned time for the class.  Each test will consist of twenty identification items and two essay questions.  The mid-term will cover the first half of the course, and the final examination will cover the second half of the course. You must answer the identification items without consulting outside materials.  You must answer the essay questions in class.  You may prepare an 8 and 1/2 sheet to consult while writing the essay answers in a standard examination booklet (blue book).

For each test I will give you the list of identification items from which I will choose 20.  I will also give you the essay questions for each test beforehand.

Students will be required to write double-spaced, typed book reviews of at least 350 words and no more than 500 words on two books of their choice -- no fiction on some aspect of Charlotte-Mecklenburg History.

A book review is essentially an explanation of the purpose or purposes of the book and an evaluation of how well the author or authors achieve their objective.
