Since this is a history course you will need to pay close attention to issues of continuity and change over time. In your essay you will need to defend your assertions with clear and lucid arguments buttressed with specific evidence from our class discussions, the primary source readings (Evliya ¡elebis Book of Travels and Baburs Baburnama), as well as the Nicolle and Robinson essays. An excellent (that is, an A) exam essay will move beyond mere regurgitation of material and present an integrative analysis of the major themes and issues we have discussed this semester.
