COVID
Please check the ASU COVID page for the latest updates: https://www.appstate.edu/go/coronavirus/updates. [Inside ABH, face masks must be worn per ASU policy] Please note: Spring 2021 semester will begin fully online until ASU re-opens classrooms for face-to-face instruction.
HIS 4100 is your capstone history course. Because this is a small class, with a fair amount of work and shared discussion, arriving on time is essential. It is disrespectful to show up while someone else is speaking, disturbing his or her train of thought. Please extend the same courtesy to others that you would expect when you are the one speaking.
The course is a marriage of a seminar and lab format, which means that attending each class is crucial to everyone’s success. We will meet twice a week early in the semester, and then move to a more irregular schedule (a mix of once and twice a week). Plan to spend 6-8 hours each week on your class research and writing assignments.
Students who miss more than two class sessions will see a reduction in their Participation grade and will need to meet with the instructor to discuss a plan of study going forward.
- If there is a situation interfering with your progress, and that does not allow you to join remotely via Zoom, contact me immediately so I understand what is happening on your end. Communication is essential.
