Literature Reviews ?Requirement:
Students will choose a topic relevant to the history of the United States before 1800 and analyze three academic book-length studies on the subject matter. Suggestions for topics and sources are listed at the end of the course syllabus. The sources all come from the Seattle Central library catalog.
Students’ literature reviews should address the three studies’ main arguments, uses of primary sources, discussions of other scholarship, strengths, weaknesses, oversights, and areas of confusion or surprise, in addition to the student’s interpretations and future possible directions for the study of the topic.
Additionally, the literature reviews must include a clear and specific thesis or main argument in the introduction, which also briefly outlines the main issues under consideration and what the literature review intends to accomplish. The body of the literature review must provide evidence in support of the thesis, using topic sentences to advance parts of the argument and transitions to link these sub-arguments in a logical order. The conclusion should sum up the main argument and discuss its broader implications.
The literature reviews should be double-spaced, ten to fifteen pages in length, use twelve point Times New Roman font, and include a title that provides insight into the main point. They also must employ correct spelling and grammar. All quotations and paraphrases from the sources should be cited as footnotes or endnotes following the Chicago Manual of Style.
