Assignment 2

Please note the following:
1. This week there are four lectures for you to watch and four questions to answer (one question per lecture).  
 
2. Please look carefully at the directions in order to avoid asking me questions that have been addressed, such as length, due date, etc.
 
3. I will grade your work as soon as possible (please don’t send me an email asking when it will be done) and your grade will appear on Blackboard.
 
Questions:
 
Question 1: Using ONLY the material provided in the lecture, thoroughly discuss in as much detail as you can provide, the material discussed in lecture 5, which deals with the causes of the First World War.

Instructions:
 
1. Do each of the questions as separate answers but submit as one document.  
 
2. There is no precise length that I am looking for, but if you are doing a thorough job two or three paragraphs simply isn’t good enough. Each lecture is over an hour and there’s quite a bit being covered, so a high grade would require quite a lengthy answer from you.
 
3.  The only material you can use is my lecture. You may not use any outside sources either from the web or books and articles. Everything you write must be in your own words (do not simply transcribe what I said). Plagiarism will result in failure for the semester.
 
4. Writing does count, so look over your work for clarity, spelling and grammar.
