STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESThis is a process-based learning course that combines independent student engagement with course materials (textbook,videos, worksheets, exams, etc.) and direct instructor supervision of writing assignments. By the end of this course studentswill be able to distinguish between primary and secondary sources, and use the historical method to analyze primarysources and craft a written argument.COURSE OBJECTIVES To familiarize students with the practice of history and the historical method including the principles of cause and effect, continuityand change, perspective, and significance. To help students develop analytical and critical reading skills. To help students develop the ability to frame historical questions, take a stance, and craft a written argument.WHY STUDY HISTORY?Studying history gives us a deeper understanding of the processes that have led to the development of the world in which we live.Learning about the ideas, values, fears, and dreams of the people of the past helps develop historical empathy, promotes intellectualdiscourse, and builds cultural literacy. Understanding the connection between ideas and consequences makes us better-informeddecision-makers and enhances our ability to distinguish the important from the unimportant, to recognize patterns, and to appreciatecultural differences. The study of history prepares us to participate in events of local, state, national, and international significance.History courses in high school teach us to recognize relevant information and make sense of it through summary and explanation.History courses in college teach us to apply information in order to solve a problem. In the process, we learn skills.SKILLS EMPLOYERS WANT(Forbes 2015)SKILLS OF A HISTORIAN Critical thinking and problem solving Collaboration Reading Comprehension Communication: verbal and written Research Data AnalysisWHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A B.A. INHISTORY?ADVANCED DEGREESGraduate School (M.A. & Ph.D.)Law SchoolTeaching CredentialLibrary Science SchoolOther graduate degree Decision making and problem solvingCollaborationCommunication: verbal and writtenPlanning and organizationResearchData AnalysisField-specific knowledgeComputer literacySales and MarketingREADY FOR A CAREER?Jobs to consider: educator, researcher, editor, informationmanager, analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker,consultant, congressional aide, foreign service officer, intelligenceagent (CIA/FBI/NSA), foundation staffer, information specialist,journalist, legal assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, publicrelations staffer.Careers for History ory-majors
