DE Proctoring for Distance Education Courses (ONL and HYD courses)

Students enrolled in this ONL, or HYD Distance Education course, will be tested using ACC’s proctoring system called “DE Proctoring” for their exams. DE Proctoring is a free service provided by ACC.

To test with DE Proctoring, you will need:

a fast, reliable internet connection
a PC, Mac, Laptop, or Chromebook device with a webcam and microphone
iPads cannot be used for testing
Google Chrome web browser - using Safari, Firefox, etc., will cause glitches in Class, resulting in you being removed from the testing session

To make a reservation for an exam:

You may start scheduling appointments one week before the start date. It is possible to schedule three weeks out if the deadline permits.
1. DE Proctoring can not accommodate same-day or next-day appointments.
2. You will make a reservation for each exam using the following link: https://web7.austincc.edu/testsch/studentsuccess/index?deptId=1
Upon submitting an appointment request, you will immediately get a Student Appt Confirmation Email. The information in the email is VERY IMPORTANT. Not only does it confirm the appointment, but it also provides instructions on how to join the session correctly.
Please attend one of the Practice Sessions listed in the Student Appt Confirmation Email. During the practice sessions, DE Proctoring does a run-through of the testing session to ensure everything is functioning correctly and explains the testing process step-by-step so you know exactly what to expect.

The day BEFORE the Exam:

You should log into your ACC email account and check for an email from Class welcome@class.com with “You are invited to join a class!” in the subject. That email will contain the link to the testing session.

B Level Objective

The B-Level Objective is an analytical book review.

Rationale: This analytical book review will critically examine an important scholarly book covering some aspect of United States History since 1877. The purpose of the review is twofold: first, to acquaint the student with a classic volume of historical scholarship and second, to allow the student to think critically about an important facet of American history and then to organize your thoughts in clear, cogent prose. You should not view this simply as a hurdle which you must overcome in order to earn a grade of "B" (Option #1) in this course, but rather approach it as an opportunity to expand your creativity in thinking and writing, two very important aspects of any individual's necessary life skills. Therefore, be advised that I consider this a VERY important aspect of this course and your reviews will be read and graded VERY carefully.

Form: Each book review will be approximately 1000 typewritten or word-processed words long. The main objective of this analytical book review should be to comprehensively cover the three sections of the following book review outline:

Part I: This is a brief outline of the contents of the book. In the space of one or two paragraphs you should be able to convey the parameters of the book's contents. DO NOT simply reproduce the book's table of contents.

Part II: Here is the place for a careful summary of the author's thesis. The thesis is the primary idea the author is trying to prove and convince the reader to accept as valid. You must first identify the thesis and then show how the author either substantiates or fails to substantiate this thesis. You should quote portions of the book in order to answer this part of the review, and you will need to cite page numbers for these quotations. This will undoubtedly take you a page or two to do a good job.

Part III: This is your personal evaluation of the book and is the most important part of your analytical book review. Here is where you describe your reaction to the book and put its contents in a comparative perspective with your textbook. Some of the questions you must answer include: Do you agree or disagree with the book's conclusions? Why or why not? Did the book support or contradict what you read in your textbook on the same subject? (You MUST quote some of the relevant passages from both books, citing page numbers.) Did you detect any biases on the part of the author? What was the author's background and why did he or she write the book? How in your opinion could the book have been improved? You must be specific and keep in mind there are NO perfect books. Did you enjoy reading this book? Why or why not? Would you recommend it to others?

Grading: The book review will be graded "ACCEPTED" or "NOT ACCEPTED." If you submit your book review before the deadline date in the syllabus and it is graded "NOT ACCEPTED" you may revise it and resubmit it prior to the deadline date. NO ANALYTICAL BOOK REVIEWS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE DEADLINE DATE IN THE SYLLABUS!

The book review may be e-mailed to me or sent via intercampus or US mail.

Books: The following books, all of which are found in the ACC libraries and most are available in the UT and Austin Public libraries, may be read for the analytical book review. If you wish to substitute another book for one of these titles, YOU MUST RECEIVE THE INSTRUCTOR'S PRIOR APPROVAL.

Thus, a pre-law student wrote a paper entitled "The Travis County Bar in 1900" while a nursing student completed a paper on "The History of Brackinridge Hospital." Engineering enthusiasts turned in papers on "The History of the Lower Colorado River Authority" and "The History of the Texas Highway Program, 1950-1980." Business students have researched both individual businesses and businessmen from an historical perspective. The whole idea is to involve you in an area of interest that will also benefit you in your chosen career path and, at the sane time, have sources of information readily available to you.

2. The paper will be approximately 1750 to 2000 words long. This translates into seven or eight double-spaced, typewritten or word-processed pages. Exceptions to these limits must be approved by the instructor before the paper is submitted.

3. The term paper must include at least THREE PRIMARY sources and FOUR SECONDARY sources. A primary source is something written by an individual who lived at the time and took part in the event that he or she is describing. Primary sources usually take the form of letters, diaries, journals, newspapers, government documents, and autobiographies. Secondary sources are books and articles written at a later time, usually by historians who were not participants in the event. No term paper will be accepted unless it contains the requisite number of primary and secondary sources. If you have any questions about a source, ask the instructor.

4. Consult the instructor for direction in finding your sources. Austin has numerous libraries and depositories including The University of Texas General Libraries, the Benson Latin American Collection, the Barker Texas History Center, the Travis County Collection of the Austin Public Library, the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, and many others in addition to the resources available at ACC. Your instructor will be most helpful in guiding you to the appropriate sources.

5. Footnotes are required in the term paper. The preferred form for footnotes is found in Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations located in the ACC libraries. If you desire to use another form for your footnotes, you must receive prior permission from the instructor. Footnotes are mandatory for both direct quotations AND information you use from other sources.

6. An ILLUSTRATED annotated bibliography is also required. In two setences after the citation, you explain not only the contents of the source but also its value to you in preparing the paper. You illustrate the quotation with a screenshot of the quotation within the source itself. This can be placed in the bibliography itself.

7. The term paper must be typed, doubled-spaced on standard letter-sized, white paper with margins approximately one inch on all sides. Several ACC campuses have LRS Computer Centers that encourage the student to use Apple and PC microcomputers to word process their papers. Thus, you may learn word processing at the same time you complete your term paper.

8. Any form of scholastic dishonesty, especially plagerism, in the production of this paper or in any other part of the course will NOT be tolerated! Any student committing any form of scholastic dishonesty in this course will automatically receive the grade of "F" in the course and be reported to ACC authorities for further disciplinary action.

9 If you have any questions concerning the term paper at any point in the process, be sure to contact the instructor.

Grading: This term paper will be graded "ACCEPTED" or "NOT ACCEPTED." If you submit your term paper before the deadline date in the syllabus and it is graded "NOT ACCEPTED," you may revise it and resubmit it prior to the deadline date.

Deadline: No term paper will be accepted after the deadline date listed in the syllabus.

HIS 1302(PCM) Sample Test Questions

The following are sample test questions you might expect to encounter on the exams covering the textbook material. They fall into three categories: 1) the "Except" type question, 2) the "All of the above are correct" variety, and 3) the one-concept answer type question.

The "Except" question is used when there is more than one factor or cause that precipitated the event mentioned in the Learning Objective and it is important that you recognize all of these factors. For example, Chapter 17 Learning Objective 1 asks you to identify the physical features that impeded settlement on the Great Plains. If you turn to the textbook, you will see a number of factors listed: treeless and flat terrain, the lack of good rivers, little rainfall, little timber, tough soil, and intemperate weather. Therefore the question reads:

1. All of the following physical features influenced westem settlement EXCEPT: A. few rivers B. abundant precipitation C. a lack of lumber D. intemperate climate E. tough and inhospitable soil In this case the correct answer is choice "B" which is the exception. If you know the various factors listed in the textbook, then picking this answer is simple.

The second type of question, the "All of the above are correct" question, is used when there are 4 or 5 important factors and you need to know them. For instance, Chapter 18 Learning Objective 6 asks you to explain how the first Pacific Railroad was constructed and financed. Turning to the text you discover this railroad was built by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific, partially financed by the US government, actually constructed in large part by Irish and Chinese immigrants, and hampered by Indian attacks. Therefore the test question might read:

6. The first transcontinental railroad A. was built by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific companies B. was financed partially by US government loans and grants C. was physically built by ex-soldiers and Irish and Chinese immigrants D. met resistance from Indians E. All of the above are correct. In this case the correct answer is choice "E" since all of the first four choices are correct parts of the total answer. If you just select "A", "B", "C", or "D" it will be counted as incorrect since it is only part of the correct answer.

The third type of question is the one concept answer type of question. An example of this is Chapter 17 Learning Objective 6 requiring you to identify the largest landowning group in the west. Turning to the textbook you read "...the railroad companies were the West's largest landowners.~ The corresponding question might be:

6. The largest landowners in the west were the A railroads B. mining companies C. cattlemen D. farmers E. None of these is correct. The correct answer is obvious choice "A".

Most of the Learning Objectives have several several important factors, influences, steps, results or developments (whichever the Learning Objective requires) and therefore as you review the text to find the answers, you ought to find three or four factors, etc. for each Learning Objective. Relatively few of the Learning Objectives can be answered with one word answers such as found in the third type of question. As you find the three or four pertinent factors, etc. for each Learning Objective, WRITE OUT your answer, and then study your notes; you ought to do well on the exams. If you simply skim the text looking for one word answers to the Learning Objectives, you WILL have difficulty with the exams. Put the time into studying and you should be pleased with your test results.
