U.S. History

Please view the Book Review Tips and the sample book reviews I have posted here.

The reviews were written by my History students last semester. They were both perfect A scores i.e.100% ( reprints by permission)

Please note: There is a specific format for the book view firstly there is NO COVER PAGE and NO BIBLIOGRAPHY!! Observe the format in each of these reviews - and you will see there is a specific indented set of information at the beginning of the review. You must include all that info in the heading which appears ON THE FIRST PAGE ONLY. The footer info has only the course name, your name, and the page number.

In any case, all work must be typed, 12-point Times New Roman, double spaced. The bibliographical info must be included in the header on the first page only. The class name and number, your name, and the page number needs to be on the footer of each page.  Submit your assignment in the Dropbox provided found under "Assessments" tab.

!!! ANY REVIEWS SUBMITTED IN ANY OTHER FORMAT WILL BE RETURNED WITH A GRADE OF ZERO !!!

I will not correct first drafts so that you can submit a copy of my corrections. I will however be pleased to eyeball your rough copies to see if you are going in the right direction.

There are myriad resources out there for formatting and writing college papers and you are free to use a source of your choosing, must make sure it adheres to the Chicago format. I have a link here to Perdue’s Writing Center which is loaded with info, and highly recommended to use.
