COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The syllabus will give you an idea of how your grade will be determined, along with other essentials such as required texts and contact information. You will be asked to do about twenty to fifty pages of reading per week, and you will need to turn in about eight mini-lecture essays that range from about two to three pages in length, along with a final exam essay.
Your final grade will also be based on discussion and participation. Discussion and participation will be conducted through asynchronous discussion board postings. Our History 108 course will have its discussion board hosted on Blackboard.com.
