Transcript

This course has taken you through the development of complex civilizations from their origins in the river valleys of China and the Near East through the global empires of the 16th century. Along the way, you have considered patterns of interaction within and between societies that affect political, economic, social, ethical, religious, and cultural systems. Now, for your Final Project, you will have an opportunity to focus on two societies or civilizations of your choice. You will do your own research to find relevant scholarly secondary sources and primary sources, then develop an in-depth analysis of the ways these societies or civilizations compare and contrast, based on your assessment of the main overarching themes of the course and your research findings.

The purpose of the Final Project is for you to demonstrate the learning achieved in the course by creating an original work based on your analysis of scholarly secondary sources (see the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table for assistance) and primary sources. The HIS103 Research Guide: Library Resources and Primary Sources provides links to relevant books, articles, and primary sources.

Your original work can be one of the options in the list provided below. You are encouraged to think openly and choose a format in which you can express yourself most effectively.

Choose one of the options below to complete your Final Project:

A six-page research paper.

A 12-slide PowerPoint presentation (see How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation (Links to an external site.) for assistance) or PreziPreview the document that includes detailed notes (see Create and Print Notes Pages (Links to an external site.) for assistance), or has audio recorded on each slide with a transcript of all audio (see Record a Slide Show With Narration and Slide Timings (Links to an external site.) for assistance).

This could be a recorded video of a presentation on the topic to YouTube (see Upload Videos: Android (Links to an external site.) or Upload Videos: iPhone & iPad (Links to an external site.) for assistance) or a recorded PowerPoint through Screencast-O-MaticPreview the document.

Note: Transcripts are basically your scripts that you will read for your presentations, plus any additional dialog and descriptive information that will help others understand your work clearly. In PowerPoint, scripts are added as “Speaker Notes.” See this example for more information and the Print Speaker Notes (Links to an external site.) reference for help in printing speaker notes as transcripts.

In your Final Project, you must compare two different societies or civilizations that we have covered in this class, within the time period we have considered (ca. 5000 BCE—ca. 1600 CE). You will submit your project by the end of the class. You will also have an opportunity to share your project with your classmates in the Final Project Exhibition discussion.

Refer back to your Final Project Preparation assignment that you completed in Week 3, in which you chose two different societies or civilizations we have covered in this class, as they existed in the time period we have considered (ca. 5000 BCE—ca. 1600 CE). For this assignment, you will further expand the content areas covered in the Final Project Preparation assignment and the HIS103 Final Project Help Sheet by comparing and contrasting your societies or civilizations in at least three of the following categories:

Gender Roles, Ideals, and Relationships: Assess how ideal roles or qualities for men and women were expressed within each society.

Social and Economic Structures: Assess how each society defined different levels of socioeconomic status.

Religious or Ethical Beliefs: Evaluate how core religious or ethical beliefs operated within each society.

Technological or Cultural Innovations: Explain how unique technological or cultural innovations impacted each society.

In your Final Project’s comparative analysis, select two different societies or civilizations within the time frame covered in this course. In your paper,

Define clearly each society or civilization you are comparing and the time period during which you are examining each society or civilization.

Develop a distinct thesis statement that serves as the main idea of your project.

Organize main sections of your work clearly according to the categories that form the basis for your analysis.

Explain the historical context clearly within which you are examining the chosen categories.

Compare and contrast the two societies in regards to the significance of the similarities and/or differences that you find.

You are encouraged (but not required) to share your Final Project with the class in the Final Project Exhibition Space (Optional) discussion forum. If you have created a document (e.g., a paper, a PowerPoint presentation, etc.), attach the file to your discussion post. If you Final Project exists online (e.g., a video, a Prezi, a blog, etc.), paste the link into the body of your discussion post. In the title of your post, include the topic and the title of your project. While you are not required to respond to your fellow classmates, you are encouraged to view all of the projects that have been shared. The Final Project Exhibition is not a graded assignment and participation does not contribute to your overall course grade.

Note: Transcripts are basically your scripts that you will read for your presentations, plus any additional dialog and descriptive information that will help others. See this example for more information.
