Web Resources on Nationalism and World History Final/ Advanced Placement Examination Review

John Maunu

 

     [Editor's Note: Spring is the time when teachers and students thoughts turn to the content of their final units, final examinations and, for that special band of brothers and sisters, the Advanced Placement Examination in World History. Fortunately, there are web resources well-designed to assist instructors in unit and final examination development and help students prepare for what is to come. John Maunu, World History Connected's editor for Web Resources and a recognized authority on that subject, offers the following guide to Nationalism and end-of-term examinations in world history, with special emphasis on the Advanced Placement Examination in World History. Such guides will be a regular feature of this journal]
