HIST 209

History of Turkey

HIST 209 is less a survey of Turkish history than a hands-on apprenticeship in how historians actually work: framing a question, finding sources, and arguing a thesis. You'll spend the semester in a small interdisciplinary group researching a self-chosen topic, meeting weekly with the instructor over Zoom, and producing a 3,000-word term paper with a preliminary report, draft, Turnitin check, and recorded oral presentation along the way. As a required core course, it's where most Bilkent students first learn to distinguish primary from secondary sources and write academically — skills that carry into every essay-based course that follows.
