STUDY GUIDE #2 For Alternative Exam #2 for those who cannot use Lockdown Browser HIST 1302 Dr. Baker This is a take-home essay exam replacing exam #2, for those who are unable to use the Respondus Lockdown Browser software. While you may prepare in advance by studying and writing an outline for use during the exam, you should limit your actual essay to what you are able to write in one hour (just as if you were in a classroom taking a bluebook exam). The essay exam needs to be submitted via Turn-it-in on Blackboard. Please, do not use any direct quotations from any source or the textbook. WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS to avoid any question of plagiarism. Essay exams that appear to be plagiarized will earn a grade of 10/100 for not following directions.

In choosing the three, consider developments within the US as well as internationally. Explain why these three changes are the most significant. Use specific examples and details.
