Hello, everyone. Welcome to your Unit One writing assignments for our HUM 2010 course. I hope that your class sources and discussions have prepared you well to write these assignments. Your essays should respond directly to each part of the assignment. Organize your essays into separate paragraphs according to the directions. Write in good form and in your own words. Be very careful to avoid plagiarism. Do not write in the words of other students or your sources. See my comments on academic integrity below and in the syllabus. Your essays should provide evidence of your consideration of the sources and discussions. Try to write informed and interesting essays in your own words. Your essays are due at the end the day on Sunday, June 8. Write an essay responding to both of the assignments below. Each essay should be a minimum of 500 words in length for a passing grade (C), but you are encouraged to extend your writing beyond the minimum (700+) for the highest grade. 10 points each.

A. There are two parts to Essay A. Write on two of the paintings that we have studied in Unit One. The paintings are available under External Links. Answer the following questions for your each of your selected paintings: Describe the painting in your own words. Was your selected painting "interesting" to you? Why or why not? How did the painting stimulate your imagination? What do you think that the artist of the painting was trying to accomplish in the work, i.e., was the artist expressing an idea, value or feeling? What “meaning” was intended by the artist and how was this meaning communicated by elements of art? [Refer to selected elements of art in your writing.]

B. There are three parts to Essay B on History.

Explain the meaning of the following two quotations. Consider what each author meant by the statement and how the statement might be supported. How might one argue against the view of history?

1. “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” (Santayana).

2. “Happy is the nation without a history.” (Cesare Beccaria)

3. Write a brief summary of your response to the forum question: Why did the Soviet Union collapse in 1991? Identify a primary source and a secondary source which would help you to respond to this question and explain how each source would be helpful.

Prepare your essays as Word or Rich Text Format files. Be sure to put HUM 2010, your full name and your student number on your essays. When your essays are ready for submission, go to the appropriate SafeAssign item under Assignments to submit your essay through Safe Assign.

Academic Integrity University learning is dependent upon honesty and trust. All work submitted in this course must be the student’s own work, written in the student’s own words.

Sources must be identified. Writings that do not meet these criteria constitute plagiarism, a betrayal of the accepted values of academia and of our learning community, and may result in a failing grade for the course.

Good luck! I wish you great success on these essays.
