Reading List— |
|
It
is important that the student allot sufficient time to complete all the
assignments. On average a student
should be working two to three hours outside of class for each hour in class. That means for this three-hour history
class, you should be working six to nine hours a week outside class. That means taking effective notes in class
and using them at home to advance the learning process. To help in that regard T.A.S.C. has
prepared an online tutorial on Note-taking
that is very helpful. This tutorial will
also give you ideas on how to take notes from the readings as well. Use the online outlines hyper linked to
each of the weeks’ web pages listed below to help you fine-tune your reading
and note taking efforts. |
