Upon successful completion of this course, students should have demonstrated an ability to find and employ a range of sources in the interpretation of an historical issue or problem, show an awareness of theoretical issues which bear on the topics they select for close examination, develop coherent arguments and arrive at clear conclusions based on evidence. They will be expected to have displayed the ability to read independently, and, if opting to complete a research project as part of the course, to undertake a sustained research and writing project involving the interpretation of different forms of evidence, including primary documentation. Students should also gain a more thorough understanding of methodological and theoretical debates concerning the study of history, including the nature of history as a form of knowledge, and should further develop their ability to present their ideas and arguments clearly and with high standards of presentation.
