Description
This course is for History majors or individuals seriously interested in history. In this course, students study both the methods used by historians in their craft and the development of history as a discipline, examining the different historical schools of thought on what history is or is not. To do this, students first look at problems historians have encountered and then how they overcame them. With the bevy of tools, techniques, and knowledge in hand, they will craft an original piece of research. Like all historians, they are assisted in this endeavor by their colleagues. This course is for History majors.
