Test (30 %) - short test each class (simple, based on presentation from previous week) Final paper (70 %) - short paper (3 000 words), topic approved by 30 October 2018, deadline 13 January 2019 (send it to email jiri.vykoukal@post.cz).
Paper structure: 1) introduction a) clear research question - definition of the topic (why and how I am writing about "it" and what I want to say) b) short description of sources (why just these sources were selected) c) sources: at least 2 books and 5 articles 2. Arguments (logic with the use of sources) 3. Conclusion (do I answer the question posed in my introduction?) 4. Footnotes
Recommendation: 1. Do not take ancient and medieval topics if you do not have previous research experience with the study of old history, 20th century is long and dramatic enough to offer interesting topics 2. Do not write things like "Central Europe yesterday and today" or "Me and modern history of Central Europe" 3. Try to select topic which is close to your mind (and heart) in terms of a) region (East-Central Europe or the Balkans) b) period (1900-1914, 1914-1918, 1918-1938, 1938-1945, 1945-1989) c) theme (economic, diplomacy, social structures, mentalities) d) concept (cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history) 3. Avoid plagiarism!
Plagiarism is derived from the word plague and this sort of plague devastates our minds! Decent people and good students do not need it!
