SYLLABUS/ SCHEDULE
Syllabus/Schedule (Revised 1-27-14), page 2
This course meets CSUEB's requirements for Upper Division GE C4 Area courses (right-click here to open link in a new browser window) and U.S History and Government Code Requirement, Second Category (ASSIST US-3) (click here to open link in a new browser window).
The assigned text is Rice, et al., Elusive Eden, fourth edition
("EE").1 NOTE: If you buy an earlier edition, you risk encountering exam
questions you cannot answer. All of the assigned and suggested readings and films are available on Blackboard ("BB"), on the CSUEB Library site, or on reserve in
the CSUEB Hayward Campus Library.
1 Having the book in your possession when the term begins is crucial to your success. Please consider buying the book through the Campus bookstore, and buying it in person rather than online. If you buy through the university, you know you are getting the correct book. If you buy it in person at the bookstore, you know you will have the book in plenty of time to complete your first assignments.
I realize that personal finances often dictate the timing of book purchases. Thus I have placed two copies of EE on permanent reserve at the Hayward campus library. A third copy of EE is on permanent reserve at the Concord campus library.
I also give you a generous "book purchase lead time" to buy the book before the first chapter exam deadlines. I cannot extend the chapter exam deadlines any further because we have a lot to do and a finite amount of time in which to do it.
This quarter we will explore image and reality in California history. We will use primary documents to question the mythologies that surround our past, and we will ask how popular mythologies shape present-day thinking about the "Golden State."
Californians began producing popular mytholo-gies upon arrival. In the 1870s, historians,
boosters, and others began churning out histo-ries. Since then, thousands of books and arti-cles about California have appeared. Yet de-
spite their fixation on the past, most Califor-nians have a distorted view of their history. Many, for example, know of Junípero Serra,
but few understand how the Spanish missions functioned as colonial agencies, or how missions and missionaries shaped relationships between
Natives and colonists in the years before American conquest.
“California history,” as a State Department of Parks pamphlet once concluded, “is a romantic tale of a land blessed by nature and inhab-ited by men of greatness.” That brief statement captures the essence of popular my-thology about the state.
Many likewise know that the Central Pacific Railroad conquered the Sierra Nevada Mountains, yet few appreciate how the railroad--the corporation that taught American businesses how to be corporate--transformed Califor-nia, and the social, economic, and political structure of the nation.
In this class, we will test popular stories against historical reali-ties, and you will decide what is fact, what is fic-tion, and what is a little bit of both.

There are several facets to successful completion of this course. One of the most important: come to class! We will engage the material in the classroom every time we meet, working in small groups, holding debates, and so forth. Classroom activity is the basis of the participa-tion points I offer, which is 17% of the points possible in this class. If you are not present, you can't participate, and you can't earn these points.
Please check your campus email account every day, because this is the only way I have to communicate with you quickly.
Please be alert to changes to this Online Sylla-bus/Schedule, as I might modify assignments over the next ten weeks. Any changes will appear on the "Sched-ule" part of this Online Syllabus/Schedule, at the affect-ed assignment or date. If I change a due date, I will no-tify you by your campus email. The Schedule begins at page 18.
* As of this date, I have cancelled six assignments from the original Syllabus/Schedule: the three remaining PeerMark assignments, and the three remaining Reply posts. I graded all your work through this date; you can see those scores on BB "My Grades" now. The point structure is still based on 350 points possible. I added a fourth chapter essay to maintain the minimum 4,500-word writing requirement for upper-division GE C4 classes. The writing assignments still total exactly 4,500 words.

HOW TO DO WELL IN THIS CLASS: You must attend lecture, participate in class discussions, complete the readings, submit each of the exams and written assignments, AND do it all within the timeframes shown in the Schedule (Schedule begins at page 17). Here are some general timing guidelines: The deadline for written assignments will always be 10:00 pm. The deadline for exams will always be 11:45 pm. Due dates for coursework will always be ei-ther a Monday or a Friday. Missing the equivalent of one week of in-struction will jeopardize your ability to pass this course. Even with a medical excuse, missing a week in a 10-week class is a problem. Once a week has passed, you might not be able to make up the work you missed. (See my policy on late work, page 13.)
TAKING EXAMS ON BLACKBOARD: You will take 10 multiple-choice exams this term. These exams test your mastery of concepts and events in California history. These exams account for 50% of the total points in this class. All of the exams are available at 8:00 AM on the first day of class, January 7, 2014. You may work ahead if you wish. Please note that each exam has a specific due date. See the Schedule for specific deadlines. On the chapter exams, you get about 3 minutes per question. Chapter exams range in length from 5 questions (the shortest) to 15 questions (the longest). Thus you get a total of 15 to 45 minutes to complete each exam and to submit it for grading before your time runs out. Note that BB does not provide a timer for test-takers. You must keep track of your own test-taking time. You must complete the exam by the date and time indicated on the Schedule. You must answer all questions and submit your exam for grading before the final deadline passes. BB will not save answers entered after you have run out of time. BB will not save answers entered after the exam deadline has passed. Please plan your time accordingly. NOTE: Once you open an exam, you must complete it. You get only one chance to take each exam, so please be ready to take the exam once you open it. You cannot retake an exam on which you did poorly.

YOUR BEST EXAM STRATEGY
Multiple-Choice Questions are word problems.
Your best strategy in a multi-ple-choice exam is to read the question carefully, because each word matters. Then you must eliminate wrong choices. Each wrong choice has a problem: it describes something that did not happen. Usually the correct choice is correct only because there is nothing wrong with it, not because it is such a pro-found truth!
Some students may be tempt-ed to search the Internet for an-swers to exam questions. Maybe that strategy will work for them, maybe it won't. Maybe the Inter-net information is accurate, may-be it isn't.
The safest source of infor-mation for exam questions is Elu-sive Eden.
You will submit a number of written assignments in this class: one long-ish paper called the Argument Pa-per, and four blue-book-style assignments called Chapter Essays. These writing assignments account for 33% of the points available in this class. Like the multiple-choice exams, the written work assesses students' grasp of California history, but they also help students hone the critical thinking and communication skills that, as far as CSUEB is concerned, college graduates will need to succeed in a text-saturated world.
The Argument Paper is a 2,250-word essay about Native Californians that you will submit through Turnitin (see page 11). I will provide you with the sources you will use for this project.
For the Chapter Essays, you will write four short essays (about 500 words each) based on assigned pages in Elusive Eden. I will give you three questions for each Chapter Essay, and you will pick the one you want to answer. You will submit these short essays through Turnitin also.
Please check the Schedule for Argument Paper and Chapter Essay due dates. See also my policy on late work (page 13).
All together, these writing assignments total 4,500 words, thus meeting CSUEB's minimum writing re-quirement for upper-division GE C4 Area classes.
Chapter Essays ask you to think critically about the big issues you confront in your readings each week. The answer(s) to the question(s) are con-tained in the assigned pages for that week. Re-view the Grading Rubric (see drop-box link) I provide before you begin writing.
Each Chapter Essay is worth 12 points. Your Chapter Essays should be about 500 words long.
The Internet and You
Some students will be sorely tempted to copy and paste random information from the Internet into their Chapter Essays. Maybe that strategy will work for them, maybe it won't.
Your best source of information for the Chap-ter Essays is EE--specifically the assigned chap-ter.
Here is my rule on Internet sources:
You may copy all the random information you want from the In-ternet into your Chapter Essay, AS LONG AS THE BOOK SAYS THE SAME THING. You will need to corroborate this fact by providing proof and page references to EE (see Citing Sources, p. 10).
If I find suspicious text in a Chapter Essay, I will run it through Turnitin.com's plagiarism databank (see p. 10). If I find material cop-ied from an unassigned source, I will give that Essay a score of 0 points.
We CSUEB professors all have advanced degrees in mental telepathy, but mine only works when I can
place my hands on either side of your cranium.
Because BB severely limits my cranial access, the bur-den will be on you to express yourself clearly enough
that I can understand you.
Best Chapter Essay Strategies
page 11, HIST 3500-02 WINTER 2014
TURNITIN.COM You will submit your Argument Paper and Chapter Essays to Turnitin.com. Turnitin is an electronic resource that compares your work to Internet sources and to a comprehensive database of student papers. Turnitin helps stu-dents avoid unintentional plagiarism.
Unintentional plagiarism results from a stu-dent's failure to understand proper citation procedure. Thus I provide you with multiple opportunities to check the originality of your work via Turnitin before each essay's final deadline.
For your first submission, Turnitin immedi-ately generates an originality report that iden-tifies which parts, if any, of your essay match existing sources.
This first originality report is usually availa-ble within five minutes. Your originality score must be 10% or lower.
The originality report makes it easy for you (and me) to ensure that you have not acci-dentally picked up another author’s language.
Please note that Turnitin's timetable chang-es after the first originality report. For your se-cond or subsequent submissions, Turnitin makes you wait 24 hours to see your next orig-inality report.
You may continue to revise and resubmit your submission as often as you like until the assignment deadline. After your first originality report, though, you must wait a full 24 hours before Turnitin will give you a new originality report. The clock starts over with each new submission.
Please keep the "24-hour Rule" in mind as you plan where to put your valuable time.
CITING SOURCES: Very little of the information you will use in your writ-ing assignments is "common knowledge." Common knowledge is something that everybody knows, like "the sky is blue," "taxes are bad," and "okra is disgusting." For everything else, I expect you to identify your source of information.
We will use Chicago style to identify sources in this class. We will go over the mechanics of formal Chicago endnotes as we get into the Argument Paper.
You may use an informal note style for your Chapter Essays, identifying the Elusive Eden pages you used (your only approved source). I only need page numbers in the Chapter Essays, like so:
This citation tells me you found general information and a couple direct quotes on page 44 of the textbook.
Syllabus/Schedule (Revised 1-27-14), page 12
The Argument Paper Submission Process: Because good writing is more about pro-cess than final product, you will be submitting your Argument Paper in four stages. I de-signed this multiple submission process to re-lieve the stress students often feel about writing long papers. Please review the Grad-ing Rubric for each stage of the assignment (see the Turnitin link) before you begin writ-ing.
How It Works:
For your Argument Paper, I will provide you with one primary source and two sec-ondary sources. These three sources will be the only sources you can use for the paper.
Your first assignment, Assignment 1, is a "think piece," where you analyze the primary source. Assignment 1 only requires you to write about 750 words.
Assignment 2 adds new material from the book to your "think piece." You will only write another few hundred words for As-signment 2.
Assignment 3 incorporates your earlier work and adds another few hundred words.
Finally, you will pull it all together in your Final Version, which will be about 2,250 words.
Point Values:
Each assignment in the Argument Paper project has the same value, 17 points. Each phase has the same point value because your "think piece" is just as important as your Final Version.
The Argument Paper is ultimately worth a total of 68 points.
page 13, HIST 3500-02 WINTER 2014
My Policy on Late Work I--Missed Written Assignments:
I will accept late written assignments without penalty if you provide me with documentation from a medical facility confirming a medical reason for your inability to meet the deadline.
The penalty for submitting written work late without a personal medical excuse is 2 points for each deadline missed, recalculated each day that the assignment is late.
Example: For any phase of the Argument Paper, an assign-ment submitted even one minute past the 10:00 pm deadline automatically loses two points.
An assignment submitted before 10 pm the next day auto-matically loses 4 points. An assignment submitted before 10 pm the third day automatically loses 6 points. An assignment submitted before 10 pm the fourth day automatically loses 8 points. An assignment submitted before 10 pm the fifth day automatically loses 10 points. And so forth.
My Policy on Late Work II--Missed Exams:
I will permit you to make up any missed exam without penalty IF you provide me with documen-tation from a medical facility confirming a medical reason for your inability to meet the dead-line. Except in cases of emergency (e.g., involve-ment in an automobile accident), the medical ex-cuse should cover at least three full days prior to the exam deadline, not just the last possible se-cond for submitting the exam.
The penalty for making up a missed exam without a personal medical excuse is 35%. I will permit you to make up no more than two missed exams without medical excuse dur-ing Finals Week. You must contact me during Week 10 and ask me to make the exam(s) avail-able to you. Please note the make-up exam deadline in the Schedule (page 18).
NOTE: Make-up Exams are not "Do Overs."
You may not retake an exam on which you did poorly. Put another way:
Exámenes de maquillaje no son "Do-Overs". 化妆考试不是“收购”
Макияж экзамены не являются "делаете-кадром."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
xx
Why do I have to do all these writing assignments? I'm not a history major--I just need a GE C4 to graduate!
A) Everyone in this class needs a GE C4 to graduate. B) Only one of you is a history major. The other 34 are something else: we have 6 students in Sociology; 4 in Criminal Justice; 3 each in Kinesiology, Liberal Studies, and Psychology; 2 each in Art, Biology Science, Communication, Business, and Speech Pathology; and 1 each in English, Music, Nursing, Recreation, and Undeclared. C) CSUEB knows who you are, and CSUEB says, "Write Anyway."
Why Can't I See Which Exam Questions I Got Wrong and What the Correct Answer Was?
I am reluctant to publish exam ques-tions and answers on the Internet, but I am happy to go over your exam with you privately, during office hours, or before / after class.
By enrolling in this class, stu-dents agree to uphold the stand-ards of academic integrity de-scribed here.
"Academic Integrity" is a phrase that goes beyond "don't cheat." It is about having pride in your own ideas and basing your work on those ideas. This includes carefully citing the sources you use and reflect upon, AND using your own words to express your ideas.
If you are confused, or hard-pressed for time, or completely disenchanted, please contact me first, before you do something re-grettable and illegal.
Here is the short list of behaviors to avoid in my class: dancing naked; arriving late; leaving early; chatting (with one's self or others); eating during lecture (I am not a television); and cell phones with audible alerts (you may vibrate all you wish). Oh yes--if I observe you texting or websurfing while I am speaking, there will be Hell To Pay.
Further Information: If you would like further help with writing, please use the Student Center for Academic Achievement (SCAA). The SCAA provides tutoring and learning support for CSUEB students. All services are FREE to CSUEB students. The SCAA is located on the second floor (Upper Mall) of the Hay-ward campus University Library.
If you have a documented disability, please speak with me and with staff in Hayward campus Accessibility Services as soon as possible. I will work closely with you and your AS advisor to ensure that you have proper access to the course.
