What do your classes cover?
For my U.S. history courses the focus is on the significant events in the history of the United States from the Pre-Columbian era to the present day. At the end of the class students will have a better understanding of the political, economic, diplomatic, social, and cultural history of the United States.
For World History-students will study major turning points that shaped the modern world, including the cause and course of the two world wars. They trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of the current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations.
