Course Description and Objectives

This course offers student an in-depth examination of one of the most exciting and controversial occurrences in history, the French Revolution.

Students will have the opportunity to read the works of the leading historians of the Revolution of the past fifty years. They will gain not only insights into the major debates surrounding this period but an introduction to many of the new topics that are being explored by historians today: the body, language, gender and the public sphere, and the problems of representation. In addition, students will acquire skills in oral presentations and written communication.

Course Requirements and Grading Policy

This course is a three-unit, graded course, satisfying GWAR (Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement). To meet this requirement, all papers must be individual projects.

This class is not a lecture course; it is a seminar for graduate students. By signing up for this course, each of you has made a commitment to attend the class regularly, read the assignments on time, and participate actively in discussion. In particular, you will be expected to debate the strengths and weaknesses of the assigned readings. In order for the course to succeed, you must fulfill these requirements. Please let me know in advance if an emergency will oblige you to skip class. Class participation will count heavily in the final grade.

In addition to participating in class discussions around a common reading, you must do the following assignments:

1. Write a three-page paper evaluating the origins of the French Revolution. It must have footnotes and a bibliography, following the guidelines of Turabian (The Chicago Manual of Style). This paper is due September 20.

2. You must present two documents to the class and explain their context and significance. They can be taken from the Hunt and Censer collection or CD-ROM, the internet, or a book on reserve: Laura Mason and Tracy Rizzo, The French Revolution: A Document Collection (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1999). Please write a two-to-three page analytical essay and photocopy it and the document(s) to enable everyone to discuss your findings. The paper will be due the week whose readings most pertain to the topic you have addressed. It must have footnotes and a bibliography, following the guidelines of Turabian (The Chicago Manual of Style). You must hand in the paper the day you present the documents.

3. You must present two images that you analyze in a two-to-three page paper with footnotes and a bibliography, following the guidelines of Turabian (The Chicago Manual of Style). Please photocopy the images for the class and your paper. This paper is due whenever we touch on a topic related to your images.

4. You must write a ten-to-twelve-page historiographical essay on any topic that appeals to you. For example, you could write a paper on Lynn Hunt’s or François Furet’s contribution to the historiography of the French Revolution. You could write a critique of intellectual historians’ approach to the French Revolution. You could compare and contrast two social historians. The paper should be emailed to me the day on December 20 by midnight. It must have footnotes and a bibliography, following Turabian (The Chicago Manual of Style).

We will meet periodically throughout the semester to discuss your progress, especially on the large paper. You may call me, visit me during my office hours, or make an appointment to see me if you are experiencing difficulties of any sort.

Final grades will be based on the following:

Class Discussion on the Common Reading: 25%

3 Short papers: 15% each

1 ten-to-twelve-page paper : 30%

Grades are calculated according to the following percentages:

A: 93-100; A-: 90-92; B+: 87-89; B: 83-86; B-: 80-82; C+: 77-79; C: 73-76; C-:70-72; D+:67-69; D:63-66; D-:60-62; F: anything below 60.

Also, please note that the course schedule and assignment due dates are subject to change with fair notice. So please make sure you attend each class because dates could change.

INCOMPLETES

Incompletes are given only if the student has completed in a satisfactory manner at least half of the course requirements and cannot finish the course because of illness, an accident, or some event beyond his or her control.

UNIVERSITY POLICY ON DISHONESTY

Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San José State University, and the University’s Academic Integrity Policy, requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Academic integrity is essential to the mission of San José State University. As such, students are expected to perform their own work (except when collaboration is expressly permitted by the course instructor) without the use of any outside resources. Students are not permitted to use old tests or quizzes when preparing for exams, nor may they consult with students who have already taken the exam. When practiced, academic integrity ensures that all students are fairly graded. Violations to the Academic Integrity Policy undermine the educational process and will not be tolerated. They also demonstrate a lack of respect for oneself, fellow students and the course instructor and can ruin the university’s reputation and the value of the degrees it offers. We all share the obligation to maintain an environment which practices academic integrity.

Cheating:

At SJSU, cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating at SJSU includes but is not limited to:

1. copying in part or in whole, from another’s test or other evaluation instrument

2. submitting work previously graded in another course unless this has been approved by the course instructor or by departmental policy

3. submitting work simultaneously presented in two courses, unless this has been approved by both course instructors or by departmental policy

4. altering or interfering with grading or grading instructions

5. sitting for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate

6. committing any other act in academic work which defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions defined above.

Plagiarism:

At SJSU plagiarism is the act of representing the work of another as one’s own (without giving appropriate credit) regardless of how that work was obtained, and submitting it to fulfill academic requirements. Plagiarism at SJSU includes but is not limited to:

1. the act of incorporating the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof, or the specific substances of another’s work, without giving appropriate credit, and representing the product as one’s own work;

2. representing another’s artistic/scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, painting, drawing, sculptures, or similar works as one’s own.

Violators of the Academic Integrity Policy will receive a zero on the test or paper and will risk failing the course. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the Office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. Disciplinary action could result in suspension or expulsion from San José State University.

The policy on academic integrity can be found at .

DISABILITIES

The following SJSU policy is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act:

“If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with DRC to establish a record of their disability.”

DROPPING AND ADDING

Add/drop deadlines can be found on the current academic calendar web page located at .

The Late Drop Policy is available at . Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for dropping classes.
