Course Philosophy

¡Bienvenidos! to HIS 4100: A History of the Middle Class.

Education is ultimately about student learning. Sometimes we lose sight of this basic fact. If there’s any benefit to the current COVID/Zoom world of higher ed, it’s that faculty have been forced to re-think instruction and student learning. If you are primarily an online learner, you might feel isolated by the digital environment … but not in this class! Senior Seminar is inherently a community environment. This class is designed for students to learn and work alongside other history majors. At just twelve course participants, this is not a class where you can hide; you will learn to rely upon others for help and support when you need it, step up and contribute regularly, and grow as a historian with your peers.

We have two choices, then: feel overwhelmed by the research and paper writing process, or work together to reach our goals and showcase the culmination of your history training. I hope we will choose the latter and make HIS 4100 a memorable experience for all!
