Terms Identification

Terms Identification Assignment 1

World History 1

Students are responsible for the completion of the following Terms Identification Assignment. Define each term on this list as fully as possible. Students should base their definitions on course materiel; they should utilize the course textbook, lectures, or any documents provided within the class to explain each term. Do not use online sources while defining the terms. While many online sources provide accurate information, that information may or may not include the details being addressed in this assignment. The easiest way to accumulate points toward a higher grade is to base the terms assignment entirely on materiel encountered during this class.

All assignments must be adequately cited. Students may choose which citation system they use (for example: endnotes, footnotes, parenthetical references are all acceptable as is any formal system of citation, including MLA, APA, etc.). I will not grade assignments that do not include citations.

The minimum requirement for this assignment is four double-spaced pages. There is no upper page limit and students should feel free to submit as many pages as they would like. Longer assignments typically accumulate more points and earn higher grades.
