HIST297B

042276

This course builds upon the skills you learned in HIST 297A: An Introduction to the History of the Middle Ages, which was based on completing The University of Arizona Enhanced Experience for Age of Empires IV. HIST 297B is designed as a bridge course that will show you how refining the skills you developed in HIST 297A can help you succeed in your college career. This is an active learning course designed to be a bit like a research and writing boot camp for historians. You will learn how to: use a variety of databases and other library materials to study history; summarize and critique scholars' arguments; and do original research and share it with classmates through fun and engaging research projects based on playing and making pedagogies. You will be doing just as much learning and research as in a traditional history course. But, instead of presenting your learning and research in tests and term papers, you will present your research through experiential learning activities like cooking medieval recipes, creating medieval objects, or making your own games. You are not just going to be consuming history. You are going to be producing it! Let's make history your story by making history together!
