This course teaches students the essential skills of historical research, writing, and analysis. Students will learn how to: locate and critically analyze different types of primary and secondary sources; identify an author’s thesis; evaluate historical arguments and construct their own; use traditional and electronic research tools; and recognize the roles of subjectivity, perspective, and historical context in shaping historians’ interpretations of the past. Students will be exposed to historiographical debates and exemplary case studies; learn proper citation methods; and engage in the process of writing, editing, and revision. The final project will be the production of a major research paper or creative project that demonstrates understanding and application of these skills.
