In responding correctly to multiple-choice questions students demonstrate familiarity with historical persons, institutions, and events (learning outcome #1). Essay questions assess learning outcomes #2-5 in the context of specific topics. Responses to essay questions are graded on the basis of factual accuracy, relevance to the topic, clarity, presentation, and organization.

(2) Writing Assignments:

Writing assignments, based on texts chosen by the instructor, assess students' proficiency in using historical documents (learning outcome #6) and constructing well-written essays (learning outcome #7). These writing assignments assess the ability of students to think and reason clearly, to organize an essay according to accepted academic conventions, and to communicate their ideas effectively in their own words.
