Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0
This is one of two required skills-based seminars in the History major and is focused on critical reading and analysis. This class introduces students to the concept of historiography, which includes the critical assessment of the methods and sources that historians use in fashioning an argument, the contexts that inform historians’ approaches to understanding the past, and comparisons of different historians’ conclusions about similar topics. All sections will focus on a specific set of historical issues and/or events chosen by the instructor and class content emphasizes critical reflection on the variety of historical interpretations that are possible within a given topic. The class is reading and writing intensive. Majors may take HIST 301 and HIST 302  in any sequence, and should plan to complete both HIST 301 and HIST 302  during the sophomore or junior year. Multiple sections offered every fall & spring semester

Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing or higher.
