Module Specification for History of Russia since 1881

In the event of any conflict between the information contained below and the departmental handbooks, the departmental handbooks take precedence.

Aims & Objectives

This module is an option available to second year History honours and joint-degree students and to visiting and part-time students and 2+2 students in any year of their studies. Options are designed to complement the first and second year core modules by providing the opportunity for study in greater depth of particular regions, periods or themes.

Context: This module develops themes of political, social, cultural and economic history raised in the core module in the context of Russian history since 1881.

Syllabus: The module is divided into four sets of historical questions - those relating to the origins of the Russian revolution; to its course from c1900-1921; to its immediate consequences in the rise of Stalinism; and to Russia's attempts to deal with the legacy of Stalinism from 1953 to the early twenty-first century. Attention will be given to political, social, economic and cultural aspects of these questions.

Teaching & Learning: The module will be taught through weekly lectures and one hour seminars and individual tutorials to discuss feedback on essays.

Assessment: see appropriate History Departmental handbooks.

Note: Deadlines for non-assessed essays are weeks 7, 14 and 17.

ALL LONG ESSAY TOPICS FOR ALL CATEGORIES OF STUDENT WILL NORMALLY BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE TUTOR.

Intended Learning Outcomesa) the further development of study, writing and communication skills

b) to provide the opportunity, through writing a 4500 word essay, to develop in greater depth an analysis of aspects of the secondary literature and available primary sources relating to topics covered in the module; to allow for greater study of topics the student wishes to learn about which are only covered marginally in the module such as foreign policy; religion; literature and the arts; and thereby to develop independent critical and analytical skills listed below.

c) developing critical analytical skills based on introducing students to a wide variety of approaches to the study of Russian History from

the late nineteenth to early twenty-first centuries conveying basic historical knowledge of Russian History from the late nineteenth to early

twenty-first centuries utilising interdisciplinary perspectives to deepen historical understanding providing students with the opportunity to evaluate critically a range of primary sources

including official documents, statistics, writings of leading historical figures and memoirs.

examining a wide range of secondary sources and secondary interpretations of Russian History from the late nineteenth to early twenty-first centuries

To enable students to produce written and verbal analyses based on the above

Mark scaleAll undergraduate modules are marked using one overall system, which runs from 0-100. Marks fall into different classes of performance:

17-point marking scaleWhere an assessment or exam is a single piece of work, or a small number of long exam answers or assessed essays, work is marked using the following scale.

The descriptors in this table are interpreted as appropriate to the subject and the year/level of study, and implicitly cover good academic practice and the avoidance of plagiarism.

With the exception of Excellent 1st, High Fail and Zero, the descriptors cover a range of marks, with the location within each group dependent on the extent to which the elements in the descriptor and departmental/faculty marking criteria are met.
