Description
For Sunday, our learning objectives are related to our understanding of the changes that occurred in European society from the 14th through the 17th centuries in art, religion, politics, and science. We will be able to identify the major historical figures related to these periods and be able to indicate the consequences of the changes in European culture, science, and religious beliefs. If you have not received the access code yet for the e-book or you are waiting on a paycheck to buy it, I put the chapters up in this Module for you to read – see Module One. Pick one and only one option for your main post. For the peer response, it does not matter if you respond to one person who wrote about the same option or a different one. Please remember we post one main response and one peer response every time. Remember, your main post should be at least 350 words, and the one peer response should be a minimum of 150. A Minimum does not automatically equate to 100%. Please don’t wait until the last minute to do these. When you quote or paraphrase material, which you should do to support your work :-), be sure to cite. l will be looking to make sure you have included quotes. Use any citation style – MLA, APA, and Chicago styles are all fine. MLA is the easiest, but I know them all. A simple in-text citation is also perfect for me (Feres, Lecture). Even when you paraphrase, please reference the material at the end of your post.
If, for some reason, you cannot meet our deadline, please message me through Canvas or email me at [email protected]. I want you to succeed and want to help everyone complete the class.
