HIST 200 - Intro to Historical Resrch and Writing
Credits: Three (3)
What do historians do? How do they work? Why do they work the way
that they do? In this course we will explore the intellectual
skills that historians use to do their work. These skills are of
use not only for professional historians but for many other areas
you may pursue in life. Some of the skills we will practice
include: using libraries, finding aids and information technology;
presenting research orally and in writing; reading critically,
thinking analytically and writing persuasively; learning various
approaches to the study and interpretation of history; discovering
the attitudes and values shared by most historians; and developing
an understanding of the ethical considerations in historical
scholarship.
