Students registering for their first course will normally choose a 1.0-credit course (or equivalent) from HI101
to HI120*. Each course is planned to permit students to achieve a
common grounding in historical interpretation and analysis, and in
methods of historical research and writing.
Not all history courses
listed below will be offered in a given year. For a list of courses for
this academic year and for a fuller description of course content and
requirements for honours degree students, consult the
departmental brochure available in the History Department office.
Senior and Seminar HI Courses
Senior students without credit in a 100 level history course are eligible to enrol in 200 level courses. Junior students enrolled in a 100 level course may also enrol in certain 200 level courses with permission of the department. Senior students taking history courses as electives may only enrol in 300 level courses with permission of the department.
The 400-level seminar courses are studies of an advanced nature, conducted in small participating groups in which significant topics of historical interest are explored. 400 level courses numbered below 450 are seminars in which students will conduct the intensive study of assigned readings and engage in weekly discussions of those materials, as well as writing papers on the readings. Seminars numbered 450 and above are research seminars in which students who have already completed the prerequisite readings course will conduct an intensive research project approved by the instructor. The project requires them to produce an article-length research paper based mainly upon primary sources as well as the appropriate historiography. The paper must be presented to their fellow students and defended in the seminar; all students will also be required to critique and offer suggestions and comments on the work of their fellow students. The seminars are limited to Year 4 Honours History students with other Year 4 students being admitted by permission of the department. Unless prior permission has been granted by the department, students in the Single Honours History BA program may only take two readings seminars and one research seminar and students in the Combined Honours History BA program may only take one readings seminar and one research seminar.
