GUIDE, FINAL EXAM
WESTERN HERITAGE
CP210-3
EASTERN NAZARENE
COLLEGE
syllabus
The final exam will consist of twenty-five
to thirty multiple choice questions (25%), five short answer questions
(25%), and one long essay (50%). Be prepared to answer questions
on any of the material covered in class: the readings from A History
of Western Society (chpts. 22-30), Ordinary Men, the classroom
handouts, as well as lecture content and film clips.
ESSAY QUESTION
You will receive one of three questions below on the essay section.
You will not know which one of the three will be on the exam, so study
for all of them. Some pointers: answer the question as directly and
clearly as possible. Be sure to address all the components of the
question. Remember to integrate the relevant reading and lecture
material to support your argument. Always avoid vague generalizations.
Refer to specific events, policies, groups, ideas and individuals in your
answers. You must bring blank line paper on which to write your answers.
Do not make any markings, outlines, or notes on your essay answer sheets
prior to the exam.
1. The Industrial Revolution not only altered the economic
structure of Europe, it also radically changed the lives of millions of
westerners. Write an essay describing the role the Industrial Revolution
played in the lives of Europeans. How did leading European intellectuals
respond to these changes? Make sure that your answer offers specific
examples.
2. Why did European nations become increasingly imperialistic from the
1880s until the early 1900s? What was the outcome of this new imperialism?
3. International affairs in the post World War II era were dominated
by the Cold War. What were the key events in its development? What were
the causes and consequences? Support your conclusions with strong
evidence.
TERMS, NAMES, IDEAS
If you are familiar with the terms and names below, it should help
you considerably on the exam. Remember, it is best to know the “who,”
“what,” “where,” “when,” and “why” of these. The “why” or the significance
of any term or name is most important.
