For your Comprehensive Final write an essay covering the most important events in United States history from 2000 to today. Explain how these events are connected to the past (what you have learned in class). Your final should be 2 full pages long – minimum. Consider political, social, and economic events and their impact on today. Document your sources! Don’t use history.com or media websites such as MSNBC or Fox. Don’t use encyclopedias. Use academic sources.
Your final is only worth 5 points so count your points to make sure you need them!
Essay Guidelines
Address the questions in the assignment Module.
Your essay must be a full page and a half long, minimum, for credit. Write in Times New Roman Font 12 point, double spaced. Omit any personal information on your submission – no name, date, class etc. Canvas gives me all the information.
Write your essay in a word processing program. Spell and grammar check. Count the number of sentences in each paragraph (5-7 sentences is a paragraph). Edit your work to meet the guidelines. Submit! Your work will be evaluated for plagiarism, AI, and cheating websites. Don’t do it! Turnitin will identify your work as plagiarized and you will get an F on the Assignment. Not worth it!
Typos and spelling mistakes are not acceptable! That’s the job of spell and grammar check. If you have typos – expect a D.
You don’t need to send me an email to let me know you submitted your work. Canvas alerts me when you submit assignments.
