History 101 – Western Civilization, Part 1
Study Guide
Third Exam: December 6, 2018
The exam will consist of five definition/written questions, and thirty multiple choice questions.
To study, I will give you this list of terms and some guidelines for defining these terms in each section.
PART 1: Definition Terms:
I expect a minimum of four sentences. The intent here is to demonstrate you understand and know the term, particularly its significance and context in history. You must have the date (or range of dates), mention of key players, where it took place (if applicable), and the term’s significance/summary.
Ex: Humanism: Humanism is a movement originating in Italy and spreading to the rest of Europe starting in the 1300s and is a part of the Renaissance. Humanism is a literary and linguistic movement that is an attempt to revive classical Latin and Greek as well as the values/intricacies of the language. There are three types: Literary Humanism which is a commentary on literature, Civic Humanism which is a commentary on politics, and Christian Humanism which leads to the Protestant Reformation.
Terms:
Investiture Controversy
Renaissance
The Great Matter
Black Death
Humanism
Age of Exploration
PART 2: Multiple Choice Terms:
I will be pulling the multiple choice questions from the list of terms here. Questions will be based off of the readings and the lectures, so refer to both as you study.
For each term I suggest coming up with a definition. I suggest knowing the date, important person or persons involved, where (if applicable), and why the term is significant. You can choose to do this for each definition. Or you can group the terms together so you can better understand the context of the term.
Study Guide Ex: Black Death: The Black Death is a natural phenomenon originating in Central and East Asia. The strain called Yersinia Pestis travelled via the trade routes and eventually reached Italy by 1346 and spread into the rest of Western Europe by 1347. Wiping out approximately 40% of the population, the Black Death manifests in three forms of the plague. The first is the bubonic plague, in which there are swellings on the lymph nodes, and it is possible to recover from this. The second is Septicimic in which the plague manifests in the blood and is 100% fatal with people dying within 48-72 hours of contracting this form of the plague. The last is Pneumonic in which the plague attacks the lungs. This one is nearly 100% fatal. Due to the sheer loss of life, the social structure in the urban and rural communities changed, and we get a reemergence of a middle class, for example Yeomen as independent farmers in England. Serfdom severely declines because agricultural laborers are in high demand, and workers are able to charge higher prices for their labor and move up in the social structure.
