History 110B: Spring 2010 Midterm ID and Map Test: Study Guide
The test will have two main parts. Part I will focus on the ID terms introduced thus far in class lectures. Part II will focus on map identification. Remember to bring a blue book and a pen (not pencil) to class on the day of the exam. The exam will be on 3/01 in class.
Part I. Terms
Below are all the possible ID terms that may appear on the exam. Some of these terms will appear on the exam. In studying for the exam, turn to your lecture notes, class discussion notes, the Bentley text, and the discussion readings to help you gather information on the terms. You will find the index of the Bentley textbook to be particularly helpful. Warning: Do not turn to the Internet, as much of the information there is inaccurate! The best ID answers will make use of the full-range of relevant course materials (i.e. lectures and discussion readings, Bentley, etc.). Each ID question can be answered in a paragraph that is approximately 5 to 6 sentences in length. Each ID question will be worth 5 points.
You will be asked to do two things on the exam.
1) Identify, as specifically as you can, the person, concept, or event. You must give an approximate date. (Century is fine. When relevant, you may need to give a range of centuries.) For this section, be sure to concretely and precisely answer all the relevant who, what, where, when questions.
2) Explain the historical significance of the term. When you think about the historical significance, consider the following questions: What were the historical results of a particular event? What did the actions of this person lead to? What larger themes is the concept representative of? In what ways can the term shed light on present-day world topics? For this section, be sure to concretely and precisely answer why this term is historically important.
