Where should we place the blame–chronologically and policy-wise–for New York City’s urban crisis and mid-seventies financial meltdown? Do you think the Lindsay administrations alleviated the problems facing the Big Apple or did they further pave the city’s road to implosion? What were the effects of New York’s financial collapse, and how did municipal neglect and capital divestment of certain neighborhoods actually work toward an innovative cultural explosion?
Grades will be based on the following assessments: content and analysis, organization and style.Try not to be overly mechanical in your writingbe smooth and lively (take a cue from the readings youve been assigned).
Citing: You dont need a works cited page, but you do need to either use footnotes or in-text (parenthetical) citations. If you use footnotes, you can just enter the last name of the author and the page # (and no, thats not proper Chicago style but for these purposes itll do). If you use in-text citing, just put the authors name and page # within parenthesis.
Authors names are on the syllabus. If page numbers arent readily available, then base it on the sources numerical flow (if not paginated, then if its the seventh page in order, then call it 7).

Write about one topic from this course, as if you were trying to explain it to a student that did not take this course. Make sure this topic is not too broad. The format is still a formal essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Use 2-3 readings from class to explain this topic to the other student. These must be readings from our course. You can use PowerPoints or videos, in addition to at least 2 readings from the course.
At least one reading should represent a different time period.
At least one reading should be a primary source.
Be clear about your time periods.
You should provide historical context for your sources. For example, you should make note of the date of the sources. For example, if it is from 1905, what else was happening in 1905? What else is important from 1905 to explain your source? Who wrote the source? If your source was written in 1970, and was about acquaintance rape, what is significant about the 70s that would allow someone to write about this topic? Illustrate historical knowledge; do not treat your sources as if they could come from any time period.
Provide a brief reference list, that lists your sources.
When using a source, provide the title and date. If quoting, provide a page #.

Remember to think about what else is going on in the world in regard to the Protestant Reformation and the Inquisition.

Despite overwhelming and credible evidence about African contributions to global history and culture, perceptions remain about the continent’s (and by extension its descendants) supposed barbarism, ignorance and depravity. In this week’s discussion forum, please consider the following:
