HISTORY 444 SBC: EXP +

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING This course is designed for students who engage in a substantial, structured experiential learning activity in conjunction with another class. Experiential learning occurs when knowledge acquired through formal learning and past experience are applied to a "real-world" setting or problem to create new knowledge through a process of reflection, critical analysis, feedback and synthesis. Beyond-the-classroom experiences that support experiential learning may include: service learning, mentored research, field work, or an internship. Prerequisite: WRT 102 or equivalent; permission of the instructor and approval of the EXP+ contract (http://sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/bulletin/current/policiesandregulations/degree_requirements/EXPplus.php)

HISTORY 447

INDEPENDENT READINGS IN HISTORY

Intensive readings in history for qualified juniors and seniors under the close supervision of a faculty instructor on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with the faculty member. May be repeated. Students should find a professor in the history department with whom they would like to work and obtain that professor’s permission. Prerequisites: A strong background in history; permission of instructor and department.

HISTORY 458 SBC: SPK

A zero credit course that may be taken in conjunction with any HIS course that provides opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes of the Stony Brook Curriculum's SPK learning objective.

HISTORY 459 SBC: WRTD

A zero credit course that may be taken in conjunction with HIS 301 or (with approval of the course instructor) another upper-division History course. The course provides opportunity to practice the skills and techniques of effective academic writing and satisfies the learning outcomes of the Stony Brook Curriculum's WRTD learning objective. Students will submit one ten-page paper or two five-page papers for approval by the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) in History. Prerequisite: WRT 102; permission of the instructor

INTERNSHIP

Participation in local, state, and national public and private agencies and organizations. May be repeated up to a limit of 12 credits. PREREQUISITES: 15 credits in history; permission of instructor and department.

HISTORY 495 First course of a two-semester project for history majors who are candidates for the degree with honors. Arranged in consultation with the department, the project involves independent study and writing a paper under the close supervision of an appropriate instructor on a suitable topic selected by the student. Students enrolled in HIS 495 are obliged to complete HIS 496. Students receive only one grade upon completion of the sequence. Prerequisite: Admission to the history honors program

HISTORY 496 SBC: EXP+

Second course of a two-semester project for history majors who are candidates for the degree with honors. Arranged in consultation with the department, the project involves independent study and writing a paper under the close supervision of an appropriate instructor on a suitable topic selected by the student. Students enrolled in HIS 495 are obliged to complete HIS 496. Students receive only one grade upon completion of the sequence.

The Honors Program In History

Departmental majors with a 3.5 average in history courses and related disciplines as specified may enroll in the History Honors Program at the beginning of their senior year. The student, after asking a faculty member to be a sponsor, must submit a proposal to the department indicating the merit of the planned research. The supervising faculty member must also submit a statement supporting the student’s proposal. This must be done in the semester prior to the beginning of the project. The honors paper resulting from a student’s research will be read by two historians and a member of another department, as arranged by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. If the paper is judged to be of unusual merit and the student’s record warrants such a determination, the department will recommend honors.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR IN HISTORY

Page 29: History Course Descriptions, SP '20 (1)

29

A. Study Within the Area of the Major: A minimum of eleven courses (33 credits) distributed as follows: Two courses at the 100 level: 6 credits A primary field of five courses to be selected from a cluster of related courses such as: United States, European, Latin American, Ancient and Medieval, or non-Western history. Primary fields developed along topical or thematic lines may be selected with approval of the department's Undergraduate Director. The primary field shall be distributed as follows: Two courses at the 200 level Two courses at the 300 level 12 credits History 301 is a required course for all history majors and must be taken prior to the 400-level seminar. This is a regular history course with an emphasis on writing. It does not have to be completed in your primary field. 3 credits HIS 401: Senior Colloquium 4.Three courses selected from outside the primary field and above the 100 level with at least one of these courses at the 300 or 400 level 9 credits B. Study in a Related Area: Two upper-division courses in one discipline, the discipline to be selected with the department’s approval. Courses that are croslisted with a history course do not satisfy this requirement. Both courses must be in the same discipline. Related areas include, but are not limited to Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, English Literature,Economics, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Art History, Music History, etc. 6 credits TOTAL CREDITS .... 39 credits C. Upper-Division Writing Requirement: A student can fulfill the upper-division writing requirement for History by submission of one ten-page paper or two five-page papers produced in HIS 301. (With approval of the course instructor, a paper(s) produced in another upper-division History course may be considered for the writing requirement.) A paper grade(s) of B- or higher is usually sufficient to fulfill the requirement. The student will register for HIS 459 and inform the instructor of the course in advance that the paper(s) for the course is to be evaluated to fulfill the upper-division writing requirement. The student will submit an approved paper(s) with an approval form signed by the instructor to the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) in History. The UPD may require further revisions to the paper(s) before approval of the requirement.

Page 30: History Course Descriptions, SP '20 (1)

30

Successful completion of HIS 459 will satisfy the SBC WRTD requirement as well as the History major upper-division writing requirement.

Students should consult with the department advisor to ensure that their plan for completing the Upper Division Writing Requirement is consistent with university graduation requirements for General Education. Students completing the Stony Brook Curriculum (SBC) must complete a course that satisfies the "Write Effectively within One's Discipline" (WRTD) learning objective to graduate. The Upper Division Writing Requirement is consistent in most cases with the SBC learning outcomes for WRTD.

Notes

No transferred course with a grade lower than C may be applied toward the major requirements in Group A.

THE MINOR IN HISTORY The minor, which requires 21 credits, is organized around the student’s interest in a particular area of history. It is defined either by geography (e.g., United States, Latin America) or topic (e.g., imperialism, social change). Courses must be taken for a letter grade. No grade lower than C may be applied to the history minor. At least twelve of the 21 credits must be taken at Stony Brook, three of them at the upper division level. The specific distribution of the credits should be determined in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate studies. An example of an acceptable distribution would be the following:

a. One two semester survey course in the period of the student’s interest (100 or 200 level) 6 credits

b. Two courses at the 200 level 6 credits c. Three courses at the 300 or 400 level 9 credits TOTAL CREDITS..... 21 credits Make sure that your minor has a concentration, i.e., the courses must be related one another either by topic or geography. If you have a question, be sure to ask. Seven “random” history courses do not constitute a minor.

Note: HIS 447, HIS 487, HIS 488, HIS 495, HIS 496 may not be used to satisfy major or minor requirements.

THE MINOR FOR SCIENCE MAJORS IN

HEALTH, SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT This minor explores the historical context of health, science and disease. Nature is within us and all around us. Human habitats—starting with our multi-species bodies—

Page 31: History Course Descriptions, SP '20 (1)

31

are only partly under human control. Inversely, the environment "out there" is deeply influenced by humans and their technologies. History provides extensive evidence for these trans-human relationships. This minor allows students to explore this multi-level interplay—from the molecular level to the planetary—in a variety of times and places.

a. Three courses at the 100 or 200 level 9 credits

b. Four courses at the 300 or 400 level 12 credits TOTAL….. 21 credits

STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM

There’s nothing wrong with using the words or thoughts of others or getting their help - indeed it is good to do so long as you explicitly acknowledge your debt. It is plagiarism when you pass on the word of others as though it were your own. Some examples of plagiarism are: • Copying without quotation marks or paraphrasing without acknowledgement from

someone else’s writing. • Any material taken from the Internet must be placed within quotation marks and fully

acknowledged. • Using someone else’s facts or ideas without acknowledgement. • Handing in work for one course that you handed in for credit for another course

without the permission of both instructors. When you use published words, data, or thoughts, you should footnote your use. (See any handbook or dictionary for footnote forms.) When you use the words or ideas of friends or classmates, you should thank them in an endnote (e.g., “I am grateful to my friend so and so for the argument in the third paragraph.” If friends just give you reactions, but not suggestions, you need not acknowledge that help in print (though it is gracious to do so). You can strengthen your paper by using material by others - so long as you acknowledge your use, and so long as you use that material as a building block for your own thinking rather than as a substitute for it. The academic and scientific world depends on people using the work of others for their own work. Dishonesty destroys the possiblity of working together as colleagues. Faculty and researchers don’t advance knowledge by passing off others’ work as their own. Students don’t learn by copying what they should think out on their own.

Page 32: History Course Descriptions, SP '20 (1)

32

Therefore, the university insists that instructors report every case of plagiarism to the Academic Judiciary Committee (which keeps record of all cases). The recommended penalty for plagiarism is failure for the course. Unintentional plagiarism is still plagiarism. Now that you have read this, you cannot plead ignorance. Therefore, if you have any questions about the proper acknowledgement of help, be sure to ask your instructor.
