Directions:
Submit the written portion of the exam using the Essay#5 link in the Assignments folder in Course Materials. (Please use one of the following file extensions: .doc, docx, or .pdf. Do not use the .pages extension. I can’t view it!)
Advice:
(1) Accurately and robustly represent positions you disagree with. (2) Carefully follow the essay instructions, completing each of the required sections and staying within the length requirement. (3) Read your essay out loud to yourself or to someone else to detect unclear writing. (4) Explain things in such a way that your essay is understandable to a reasonable person who is not acquainted with the readings from class.
Grading scale:
The essay is graded out of 10 points. The value of the assignment is half of the final exam value, which as a whole is 15% of the course grade. I grade each part of the essay to which points have been distributed with traditional letter grades in mind, though converted into points. So, if part (1) of your essay, which is worth 2 points, merits a B, then it would be assigned 1.6 points (that is, 80%). Having graded each part, I then, add up the points for the whole essay.
If you earn 100% of the distributed points for a part of the essay (e.g., part (1) of essay question #1, worth 10 points), then your response was well-written, thoroughly addressed all of the required elements of that part of the question and did so in such a way that exhibited an impressive mastery of the material.
If you earned 90% of the distributed points for a part of the essay, then your response was well-written, addressed all of the required elements of that part of the question and did so in such a way that exhibited a good understanding of the material.
If you earned 80% of the distributed points for a part of the essay, then your response was relatively clear, addressed most if not all of the required elements of that part of the question and in such a way that exhibited a generally adequate understanding of the material.
If you earned 70% of the distributed points for a part of the essay, then your response may have been somewhat unclear, did not address all of the required elements of that part of the question and indicated a somewhat inadequate understanding of the material.
If you earned 60% or less of the distributed points for a part of the essay, then your response to this particular part of the essay may have contained significant problems with clarity and organization, failed to address multiple or significant required elements for this part of the essay question, and/or indicated serious problems in your understanding of the relevant material.

Essay Case Study (modified from “Ethical Questions During a Pandemic” National Collaborating Center for Health Public Policy, March 2010):
The Regional Hospital is a major trauma center with a large emergency department and intensive care unit (ICU). During the outbreak of a pandemic coronavirus crisis, the ICU is filled to capacity with patients suffering from life-threatening medical conditions, including complications from influenza-like bacterial pneumonia.
The emergency department calls the ICU seeking to admit Mr. M, who was brought to the emergency room with a severe but potentially reversible brain injury after a bicycling accident.
One alternative is to move one of the current ICU patients to a medical unit in order to make room for Mr. M. However, the ICU staff reports that all of their patients need ventilator support, and there are no other ventilated beds available in the hospital.
Another alternative is to send Mr. M to another unit in the hospital. However, given Mr. M’s injuries, it is clear that this would overtax the clinical capabilities of the health care staff, who are not trained in critical care and who are already struggling to care for other patients.
The final alternative is to transfer Mr. M to another health care facility. However, the pandemic has overwhelmed all hospitals in the region, and there are no available ICU beds anywhere else.
An ICU patient passes away. There is now a bed available in the ICU for Mr. M.
However, just as his transfer is about to be made…
An ICU nurse named Ms. A is admitted with severe difficulty breathing. It is determined that she has been infected with the coronavirus, which she may have contracted while caring for patients in the hospital’s ICU. She needs immediate ventilation support, which is only available in the ICU bed designated for, but not yet occupied by, Mr. M.
At the same time another patient, Ms. T is admitted with similar symptoms. It is also determined that she has been infected with the coronavirus. She needs immediate ventilation support, which is only available in the ICU bed designated for, but not yet occupied by, Mr. M.
Ms. T and Ms A are both in their 50s. Ms. A. is white and, as an ICU nurse has medical insurance and a good income. Ms. T is a person of color and comes from a lower socioeconomic background, because of her poverty she has not had access to routine medical care and, as a consequence, has a congenital heart disease that would have been treated had her family had medical insurance when she was a child.

Write an essay on Muslims in the Russian Empire – accommodation and resistance.

Topic: Muslims in the Russian Empire – accommodation and resistance. Your essay should address the position of Muslims within the Russian Empire, citing at least one way in which the Russian Empire attempted to accommodate its Muslim subjects and at least one way in which Muslims resisted Russian rule.

Detailed instructions: Your essay does not have to cover all Muslims of the Russian Empire in all time periods. You might choose to focus on the nineteenth century, for instance, and/or you might want to focus in particular on one or two regions (for instance, the Volga, the Caucasus). You might also want to consider the divisions within Muslim communities during times of resistance (consider, for instance, the figure of Hadji Murat or the conflict created by the 1898 Andijan Uprising reflected in the poem by a resident of Namangan).

Every good history essay takes a position, and yours should as well. You might, for instance, weigh in on how effective Russian strategies for accommodating Muslims were, or you might think about the extent to which Islam mattered in Muslim-led resistance. A good thesis is one that your reader might argue against – but with enough evidence in the body of the essay, your reader should be convinced by the end of the essay that your interpretation/position is a good one.
