UM-Dearborn History Portfolio - 1: Conceptualization

1: Conceptualization

Choose up to two assignments from your archive that demonstrate the following History learning goal and link the files directly to this page, following the instructions at the bottom.

Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental questions, concepts, and conventions that distinguish the discipline of history.

Demonstrate an understanding of causation, historical context, and change over time in societies and institutions.
Demonstrate an understanding of the significance of diverse groups in the context of time and place.

Use this portion of the page to:

introduce your work with a reflection and explain how/where it demonstrates that particular concept or skill. This might take you anywhere from a paragraph to a page. The whole paper need not be perfect and need not meet every last detail of the learning outcome.
analyze your own work’s shortcomings. This demonstrates the kind of higher order thinking we expect of History majors; we encourage you to be critical in your assessment.
explain what you did and what you might do differently, were you to do it again or take the project further in the future.

Note: we suggest you create a Google Drive folder (for example History Portfolio Documents) and place any presentations, images, papers, etc. in this folder so it is easier for you to add links to them. To add a link to one of these files:

Go to that file and copy the URL, then go back to your Google Site page
Put your cursor where you would like the link to the file
Type in the text that you would like to display
Select that text, then click the link icon in the toolbar
Paste the URL of the file from your Google Drive folder
