Writing Intensive Courses for Spring 2014

The University requires that all students successfully complete a writing intensive course.  All History majors, including those also concentrating in Secondary Education, must take a Writing Intensive Course in the History Department.

Beginning in Fall 2013, the Department will offer one course--Writing and Methods for Majors--that will serve as the Writing Intensive Course for the Department.  In Fall 2013 & Spring 2014 it will be a History 392.  Once it has made its way through the University's formal approval process, it will be History 275.

The focus of all sections of the course will be writing assignments that will help prepare students to succeed in the major.  All sections will have a similar syllabus.  Each instructor, however, will use content drawn from his or her field of specialization to provide the primary and secondary sources for the course.  No sections of the course will assume any previous knowledge of the themes addressed.

For Spring 2014, the Department will offer three Writing Intensive Courses:

1.  Prof. Charles Steinwedel will offer History 392, section 01, on Mondays & Wednesdays from 2-3:15 (CRN 27795). Topic: "Stalinism & the Soviet Union in the 1930s."

2.  Prof. Steinwedel will also offer History 392, section 7 on Mondays from 7:05-9:45pm (CRN 27801). Topic: "Stalinism & the Soviet Union in the 1930s."

3.  Prof. Christina Bueno will offer History 392, section 05, on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:50am-12:05pm (CRN 27799). Topic: "The Cuban Revolution."

Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the course as soon as possible after declaring the major.
