Your answers must clearly show that you are studying History at a college level; the minimum length for each answer is 50 words. Do not copy your answers from the book as that is plagiarism. You can paraphrase.
This means that you read the chapter(s), you answer the questions by including information you found on your textbook by indicating at the end of each of question at what page you found the details you used in your answers. You do this by adding the follow: (Backman, page #).
A proper answer must be analytical so beyond the mere description of facts you should include consideration that show that you understood the content. Read out loud before submitting and avoid typos, run on sentences, and grammatical mistakes. Avoid the conditional (would) as you are dealing with facts that actually happened.
