And by appt. History 282b: Mexican Cultural History: Modern and Postmodern. Course Description History 282b provides an introduction to Mexican cultural history from the late colonial period through the present. The course will provide a basic survey of political, institutional, social, and economic history, while also introducing the literature, art, and film of nineteen and twentieth century Mexico. Thus, we will seek to embrace cultural history in all its depth and nuance, and also to enjoy ourselves as we master the recent history of the fascinating country to the north of Central America and just south of the United States.

Course Assignments There are five course requirements: class participation; two 6-8 pg. papers, an in-class mid-term exam; and a comprehensive final exam. They are weighted towards the final grade as follows: class participation 10 points; two 6-8 pg. papers 20 pts. each, 40 pts. total; mid-term exam 20 pts.; comprehensive final exam 30 pts.; total possible points for course=100 pts. All grades will be given according to the Haverford grading scale (i.e., 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, 1.7, 1.3, 1.0, 0.0) and as a point value towards the final grade. Thus, an exceptional student might receive a 4.0/20 pts. on her first paper, etc. Class participation means contributing your presence, thoughts and voice to class meetings. To participate effectively requires that one keep up with readings and lectures, think about the issues posed by the materials of the week, and discuss the readings, lectures, films and documents. The two papers, each about 1500-2000 words (6-8 pages), do not entail extra reading or research, but rather a careful and critical analysis of assigned material. Students are required to submit hard copies of their papers, i.e. typed or computer printed. It is the students responsibility to make a copy of their papers in case they are lost or misplaced. I strongly recommend making a hard copy for yourselves as well as for the instructor, rather than courting software disasters. The comprehensive final exam will cover materials from the entire semester. It will consist of an identification section, a long essay question covering the entire semester and a shorter essay question covering the materials from the mid-term to the final exam. The long essay question will be handed out on the final day of class. Students may bring in one page of notes (one side of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper, any size font) to assist them with the final exam.
