Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Recommended preparation
There is no required preparation for this class, but a general knowledge of United States History, 1750-2000 would be very useful for understanding the Northwest as a case study.
Class assignments and grading
Students will be asked to read, discuss, and write reviews of three books in addition to our basic text. Students will write a midterm and final exam. Students will apply their learning to a paper or project, due the last week of class. This project may take the form of a lesson plan, exhibit or website, that is the equivalent of a 10-page research paper, complete with bibliography and notes.
