Analysis and contextualization of a primary source on a topic, theme or an event in the late
Ottoman Empire.
Requirements and criteria
o Please pick one text to focus on. This can be a text we already covered, or one which has not
been discussed yet. You can also use a text that was not on the syllabus Just chose a text on the
topic that interests you most or one that relates to your dissertation, please don’t waste energy in
trying to “chose strategically.”
o If you have a very intense interest in a text on a topic area outside of the weekly class topics,
please let me know and we’ll discuss if your choice could be a viable option.
– Analyse the primary source (or one of them if there are several) for the week you have chosen.
– Cover the following questions: Who is the author? What kind of text is it (type or genre)? When
was it written, and is that date significant (context)? Why was it written (the context and
purpose)? Are there any problems for us in using this text as a source (e.g. bias)? Why is this
source useful for the study of a specific historical phenomenon (or not)?
– Pay close attention to the last point above: How useful is this primary source for the historian,
what could possible pitfalls in using it be?

A modified procedure with real data for asynchronous use While we know that this will not provide the same experience as performing the
experiment yourself, we hope the experience will provide an understanding of the actions, observations, thinking, and analysis you could obtain if you performed the experiment yourself. Our goal is to provide a way for you to learn about the lab experiment, to the extent possible, as if you performed the lab.
In this virtual laboratory, we will attempt to create an experience that highlights what you would do in lab (Lab Actions) and what you might notice and observe (Lab Observations). We will also provide some guidance in the interpretation and analysis of the data to help you understand the chemistry going on at the atomic scale (Lab Thinking/Analysis). When reading through the material, we will use the symbols shown above to alert you to these aspects of the lab.
We have designed the lab to place you in the role of group leader of a research team. While you will not actually perform the experiment, assume three members of your research team will each go into lab independently, and report back their findings. Your job as research leader will be to understand what they have done, polish whatever analysis they provide to you, and create a report of the set of data you will upload on ICN. Since you will be examining three, real data sets, you will have the opportunity to calculate average results, as well as the uncertainty of measurement in the data. We hope this will provide a substitute for performing the lab on campus. Goodluck!
Challenges to Policymaking in Developing Countries.
Challenges to Policymaking in Developing Countries.
Chapter 17 introduced some challenges to policymaking in developing countries. If you were an
analyst working for the St. Petersburg Informational and Analytical Center, explain how you
would use data available to you to prepare a report for the Governor for the State Program
“Combating Proliferation of Drugs.” Briefly explain what you would include in your report to detail
the problem, and what the forecast results would be for each of several responses to the
problem. (You do not have to use actual data from a real model for this discussion.) The idea is
to focus on how models can use real data to create forecasts.
