Upon successful completion of this course, students should have demonstrated their ability to undertake critical analysis of a range of primary and secondary texts, to develop a coherent historical argument and to arrive at clear conclusions based on a range of evidence. They should have read widely and independently in the areas they have selected for close study, developed advanced conceptual skills and the ability to apply them in a critical way in their analysis of historical problems, acquired an understanding of methodological issues surrounding approaches to the study of history and of theoretical issues, including the nature of history as a form of knowledge and its functions in public discourse, and further developed their ability to present their ideas cogently, in clear prose and at high standards of presentation.
