It is a sweep of time with breathtaking changes. From a small band of colonists maintaining a precarious existence on the edge of a vast wilderness, to a heavily industrialized and urbanized nation of 300 million, the odyssey of the American people is full of drama and conflict. The journey is not yet completed, and an understanding of our history provides the key not only to our past, but also to who we are as a nation today, and who we might become in the future. As Kierkegaard observed, "Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards."

Each mid-term will count as 30 percent of your grade. The final examination will count as 40 percent of your grade. All examinations will be of the essay type. You are responsible for all lectures, readings, and films on your examinations. Bring a blank green book (do not put your name on it) for each exam. Class attendance is not mandatory. In fact, students are only required to be in be in class three times during the semester: for the two midterms and for the final. This extremely tolerant attendance policy means that students must be in class on the scheduled examination dates. In other words, examination times are not negotiable, and all students will take the examinations on the date scheduled except for those with medical problems documented by a doctor's note. Weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, conferences, athletic contests, early job and vacation opportunities and other occasions are certainly worthy events, but if they interfere with scheduled examinations, then this class is probably not for you. In other words, if there is the possibility that you might have a scheduling conflict, drop this class. My office is in 211 Trinity. The phone number is 898-5386, and I am on voice mail.
