European Identity Seminar (PSC 414)
Course Requirements:
final paper and exam
This is a two-credit seminar.
The grade is based on your participation, exam, and a final paper. The final paper
focuses entirely on your readings included with the seminar as well as the
lectures events organized during the travel seminar.
The point of the exam (January 13) is to ensure that you understand the
basic facts regarding the history of immigration and integration of migrants
in European nations since the end of World War II.

critically analyze the information learned in the readings and lectures. The
final paper should be 1,500 words long (about 4-6 pages, 1 and 1/2 spaced, 1
inch margins). The paper should be build on the basis of a
thesis statement related to integration/immigation questions across at least
two nations visited.
The final paper is due on Saturday, January 28,

Explanation on pass/fail option: Everyone
receives a letter grade, even if you take this class pass/fail. The
professor does not know your choice and is expected to grade all assignments
according to the same expectations. If you take this class pass/fail, your
transcript will not contain the letter grade assigned.
Academic integrity: Plagiarism, i.e. the presentation as one's own work the
words, ideas, and opinions of someone else, is a serious concern in any
academic setting. This University, like all academic institutions in the
United States, assumes that the written work of a student is literally
the student's own, and that any original idea or research contributions
taken from the published works of others will be properly acknowledged.
