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 Notetaking
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. |
