Untitled document
The students will:
1. Organize lecture materials, audio-visual presentations and textual
readings into a coherent base for study of history.
2. Recognize that history is not dogma; that it is a process of
interaction between factual sources and those who interpret them.
3. Demonstrate critical thinking and analytical skills in a series
of objective tests, written examinations and critical papers that
probe the American past.
4. Apply historical learning to in-class discussions of past
controversies and contemporary concerns.
5. Integrate geographical knowledge with historical study - the human
story moves through both space and time.
6. Identify and employ atypical and non-traditional source materials
such as fiction, music, cinema and sport to study American popular
culture.
7. Examine the contributions of women, racial and ethnic minorities,
and other underrepresented groups to the formulation of American
ideals and institutions.
8. Question their own values and popular myths as well as conventional
historical analysis.
9. Synthesize the ideas of part and current historians and (from this
synthesis) develop their own means of addressing fundamental
historical questions of causation and consequence.
10. Debate the claim that the heritage and institutions of the United
States are to some degree unique and explore the causational
rationale that underwrites this alleged uniqueness.
11. Analyze the connections between the study of our nation's history
and one's perspective of our society and one's place within it.
12. Describe the values, themes, methods and history of the discipline
and identify realistic career objectives related to a course of
of study in the major.
