Writing tips for HIST 337

Follow the assignment instructions and rubric line by line

UMGC assignments for HIST 337 are graded against a specific rubric or grading criteria your instructor provides — every requirement has to be visibly addressed. Skipping a requirement because it seems minor is one of the most common reasons a strong submission loses points.

Use primary and secondary sources, not just narrative summary

History courses like HIST 337 consistently expect you to locate, evaluate, and cite primary and secondary sources — a well-written narrative summary of events without genuine source engagement is one of the fastest ways to lose points.

Build an argument, not just a chronology

Strong historical writing makes a specific, defensible argument about causes, significance, or interpretation — not just a chronological retelling of events. Evaluators check whether your thesis is actually supported by the evidence you present.

Why students seek help with HIST 337

Students sometimes describe European colonialism as one-directional without the reciprocal shaping (colonial world influencing Europe too) the course specifically requires — the rubric typically wants that reciprocity shown.
