How did medieval and early modern Europeans attempt order and explain their lives and experiences? Which sources of authority did they consider to be most important? Which sources of authority actually exercised the strongest influence over their decisions? Please address the importance of ancient authorities (classical Greek and Roman as well as early Christian writings), the ideas of their immediate predecessors (other medieval and early modern people) and their own inspiration and innovation. What does your answer tell you about Western Civilization?heartless said:

(nothing much at all!). Given the breadth of your essay topic, 4-6 single-spaced pages is really...nothing much at all.

Just google for it, medieval church, medieval european and feudalism. It's all simple.Assignments are usually double-spaced unless otherwise specified. It's easier on the eyes of us aging professors.bomba923 said:*By the way, mattmns:
Do your 8-12 pages have to be double-spaced?
~>In which case, your assignment is just a basic four-six page essay
And, actually, it's to leave room for comments while grading or editing. The 10-page essay is a fairly standard length, this one just seems to have some room for individual variation. 
Your teachers and professors know all those tricks already. I have about 4 pages done so far However, that means I still have 4 pages to go

I am going to add a nice thick conclusion and maybe a few more quotes and I should have close enough to 8. Well at least 7, which will hopefully get me a B in the class, if not a C. Ahh, the thought of History being over with, almost brings a tear to my eye (tears of joy that is). I will have nothing but my major and minor left, and Russian (for fun) I know why teachers prefer double-spacing, but that doesn't mean I encourage it.

Or, more relevantly, in my case:Moonbear said:And, no, don't try increasing the font size or writing long, meaningless, filler sentences that don't really say anything you couldn't have said with far less words.
. ))When cramming for a history paper, it is important to create a schedule that prioritizes the most important information and allows for breaks to prevent burnout. Break down the paper into smaller, manageable tasks and allocate specific time periods to complete each task.
Start by skimming through your textbook or class notes to identify key themes and events. Use online resources such as academic databases, reputable websites, and digital archives to supplement your research. You can also consult with a librarian for additional assistance.
Flashcards, note-taking, and mnemonic devices are great ways to help retain information for a history paper. Try creating visual aids such as timelines or concept maps to better organize and remember important events and concepts.
Take breaks and engage in stress-relieving activities such as exercise or listening to music. Avoid distractions such as social media and try to find a quiet and comfortable study space. Remember to stay hydrated and well-rested to maintain focus.
Prioritize the most important information, use effective study techniques, and take breaks to avoid burnout. Make sure to also proofread your paper for any errors and cite your sources properly. Lastly, try to get some rest before your exam or paper deadline to allow your brain to process the information you have learned.
