Topics are directed toward developing student appreciation of the past’s impact on the present and future.
Students develop skills in problem definition, information gathering, application and evaluation, and problem solution. Students develop the ability to read, think, and write critically, and communicate results clearly. The study of history emphasizes acquisition of attitudes or habits of mind that emphasize empathy, objectivity, and ease with ambiguity.
