• Student Learning Outcomes This course is both a
  lecture course and a discussion section. While I
  will lecture for some period of time at almost
  every meeting, each student will be responsible
  for participating in the accompanying discussion
  section. Our major goals for the semester are
  not only to become familiar with the American
  story and the many facets and quirks of American
  history, but also to utilize a variety of primary
  sources in interpreting and analyzing the
  American story, and to learn to think critically
  about the analyses and interpretations of other
  historians (secondary sources).
• In particular, each student will be able to do
  the following upon completion of this course
• Analyze and synthesize Modern American historical
  sources to formulate a historical thesis.
• Explain relationships between the causes of
  historical events in Modern America and their
  effects.
• Apply the lessons of historical events in Modern
  America to the present.
• Describe historical actors and events in Modern
  America and explain their significance in
  historical and historiographical context.
