Do you already have a topic of your term paper?

In fact, you already should have one at this particular moment. In a case you do not have your topic yet, the time is ripe to decide on your topic, to formulate the clear goals you would like to attain with your paper. Alternatively, you can formulate your research questions to be answered with your term paper.

Teacher's hot tip!

Since the assigned texts are usually from historians, they are complex. I chose one reading for each of the following session to work as a "key" to the rest of them by providing some summarisation of the topic or highlighting of the most important concepts. This time it is Roberts, John (2000): Revolution from Above and Below. This text provides a nice overview of European politics until the WWI.
