Six-page course exam, for a course that includes a map quiz and a research paper. Syllabus includes brief guidelines for writing a history paper and also a unique statement about non-discrimination that goes beyond UW policy: "Furthermore, as a personal choice, and regardless of the policies of particular administrators and other instructors, I do not discriminate on the basis of the student's standing within the University, nor on the basis of a student's
special admission to the University, nor on the basis of how the student pays for his or her education, which includes scholarships of every type as well as private employment. This includes ‘positive' discrimination as well: there is no relaxing of academic standards, expectations, requirements, or deadlines on the basis of these categories." Syllabus headings include "Course Requirements," "Grading," "Guidelines for Paper Writing" (includes stringent plagiarism policies), "Instructor's Statement," "Suggested Term Paper Topics, and "Class Schedule."
