INTRODUCTORY COURSES (100 LEVEL)

The department offers 100-level survey courses dealing with major historical periods and developments. In addition to the study of basic information, students examine conflicting interpretations and historiographical debates on controversial issues, and the diverse scholarly methods used by historians in their study and interpretation of the past. Six credit units earned in any of these courses fulfil the prerequisite for the study of history in any 200-level course.

Instruction normally consists of three hours of lectures a week, and one hour of tutorial instruction in which documents are examined, historical and historiographical issues are discussed, and advice is given on the preparation of essays. Tutorials are designed to help students sharpen their analytical skills and improve their oral expression. The preparation of essays is designed to help students define and demonstrate an understanding of important themes, to develop their research skills, and to improve their command of written English.
