  • Identify, analyze, and critique historical arguments (as presented by our authors and classmates).

  • Develop original historical arguments using primary and secondary sources (in class discussion and in our informal and formal writing assignments).

  • Communicate historical knowledge, interpretations, and arguments clearly in writing, discussion, and oral presentations.
