RCI Research Assignment Part III

Introduction to Part III

Welcome to Part III of the Research Assignment for HIST . In Part II you used monographs and journal articles, two kinds of secondary sources, to learn about the historical roots of your chosen contemporary issue. In Part III, you will continue to use topic-relevant sources to investigate the historical roots of your contemporary issue, but this time you will locate a primary source.

After you've completed Part III, your instructor or your teaching assistant will reassess your topic in light of your selected materials and comment on your hypothesis / thesis statement (answer to your research question).
