We begin with the very slow
transformation from provincial America to revolutionary America.
We end with the nation
spreading west and uniting over gaining land and feeling nationalist and with
the regions of states becoming divided over whether that will have:
·
Planters and large
plantations with African slaves
·
Yeoman farmers
working the land with their children.
We also end with:
·
What has become a
North that has greater population, education, and prosperity for the many with
a distaste for slavery moving into their region
·
What has become a
South that has fewer people, less education, and prosperity only for the
minority of great planters.
This section repeats the
information from the Overview for the prior Unit.
The
Unit consists of Lessons 1-4.
When
you see a folder labeled Learning Quiz, you do these things.
1.
In the Self-Test,
use the password selftest (no spaces, no capital letters, and no punctuation).
Tip: Self-Tests do not count against
you. They are a tiny (.01) extra credit.
2.
Without any
preparation (or fear), carefully answer the questions quickly so you know what
your brain thinks is true.
3.
When you submit
your Self-Test, Blackboard automatically displays in the same folder content to
help you—if needed—and the Full-Test. For the Full-Test, there is no password.
You may take it as many times as you wish with highest score counting.
4.
Do not just click.
Make sure you understand. If the answer does not make sense to you, post your
question in Unit 2’s Learning Discussion.
The
Objective Exam for each Unit has a total value of 100 points. There are 25
questions each at 4 points:
·
8 of the 25
questions come from these Learning Quizzes in the Unit
So use those
Learning Quizzes and ask questions in Learning Discussion if you need help!
·
17 of the 25
come from the Study Guide (a link below this one). The Lessons in the Unit contain
the Instructor’s links. Those links provide visuals, frequently in tables, to
help you compare facts to see similarities and differences.
So use those
links and ask questions in Learning Discussion if you need help!
The
Unit Exam is available for 30 minutes, a time set by the Department. Unit exams
have the password onetimeonly. They display one at a time and you cannot
backtrack (return to an earlier question).
Tip: from Getting Starting:
Because I see students memorizing
random facts, I am trying to get you to focus on useful, usable facts for
your life time because is about life works. In this class, questions do not require that you show you know everything, but that you show that
you know something. The questions
focus on your recognizing significant traits of such things as regions, time
periods and their dominant beliefs or events, and historical figures. (See
Learning Quizzes, Concepts, and the Goal of Exam Questions) Click here for an example of a
question that lets you show that you know something that is worthwhile. (URL:
