4th Year Students:
Welcome back to History of Magic! I am thrilled that you have decided to continue your studies in this subject.
​
This year is intended to fill in the gaps of your History of Magic education so far.

The assignment expectations can be found further down on this page.

Assignment Expectations:
The expectations for 1st-4th Year assignments in every class consist of the following:
-
The minimum word count is 200-300 words. You may exceed this number, but assignments that do nt reach the word count will not earn full marks.
-
Your words should be your own; plagiarism is not tolerated. Some assignments may require you to do research of your own; you are encouraged to include links to the sources you referenced.
-
Be sure to review your assignments for proper spelling and grammar. Mistakes will result in points taken off, unless a spell-check quill is used.
​
History of Magic is a unique subject in that our studies will mostly be research-based, rather than classes that have you practicing magic. As such, you should expect to practice skills including research, analysis, and reflection.
