Details about this class
We live in strange and interesting times, and it can be difficult to separate myth from reality. I have designed this course to help learners better understand how we got here by exploring social, cultural, economic, and (of course) political changes in the United States from 1914 to the arrival of a new millennium. We will cover some very serious and potentially divisive topics, but we will also have a lot of fun. We will meet in person twice a week on for a combination of lecture and discussion.
As your instructor, I will foster an inclusive and inviting atmosphere that will serve a diverse group of learners. In addition to class sessions, I promise to be present and available through discussion forums, email, and detailed feedback on your coursework.
Coursework will consist of a multi-part Be the Historian project and two exams. The exams will be partially open notes--you may bring a pre-written notecard (5"x7") with notes on the front and back.
Technology
There is no additional technology required for this class.
No show policy
Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
