History 2P91: Midterm

Date: 3/3/2008

The midterm will be one hour long, and held in the 8th week of term, 3 March 2008.  It will consist of choosing five terms from among a set of 15, identifying them and explaining their historical significance in light of the themes discussed thus far in the course, up to and including week 7's lecture 'Changes to Religious Life I: Iconoclasm and Worship', and the seminar on Catholicism.  The seminar on Conformity will NOT be part of the midterm.
This makes up 15% of your final mark - please prepare carefully, reviewing names, events and concepts.

The midterm will be drawn from 15 of the terms listed below.
In order to prepare for the midterm do some practice runs!  Envisage 2/3 of a page of lined paper, and write your answer in roughly two sections: a) Identify the term, b) and give its significance.
Try to think about it as an encyclopedia entry rather than as an essay.  Section a) should roughly be around 1/3 of your answer.  Give dates if possible, audience, title, authorship, context / place, who was involved etc.  Section b) should be the remainder of your answer (2/3), and should explain clearly why the term is important to those involved in it at the time, and then more widely why the term is important to the course as a whole thus far.  Emphasis in marking will be on section b) and its analytical development, though obvious errors and omissions from section a) will be noted as well.
