H370 Research and Writing3 credit(s)
This is a junior-level course required for those intending to major in history or history/social science. It is also recommended but not required for those intending to minor in history, and for those who are social science education majors. It serves as an introduction to the critical thinking skills and dispositions used by historians as well as some of the basic research techniques employed by historians in research papers. The course requires students engage in their own research and writing, but focus on a broad topic of the instructor’s choosing that will enable the instructor to introduce students to various source bases, research methods, argument strategies, and theories/ epistemologies that may inform their senior theses. Students are encouraged to start developing their senior thesis projects, especially as a way of transferring the knowledge gained from studying the course’s topic to a topic of their own choosing so it can dovetail with the senior thesis course. Prerequisite: H270 .
