a brief but dense/pithy well-written cover descriiption (300-600 words) of your learning experience related to the four course objectives. Strive for precision, clarity, and concision at all costs. It is better that the statement be shorter and well-written, than longer and carelessly thought out or poorly written.
Please note: the cover descriiption is NOT an evaluation of your learning experience relative to the quality of instruction. It is an accurate statement based on the evidence that will follow of the ways in which the quality of your work demonstrates the level to which you met the four course objectives.
more in depth info: A descriiption of your quality of learning that is aligned to course learning objectives. It is a pithy reflection of substantial depth (300-600 words). It details specific experiences of investing in the FOUR different course objectives, revealing, among other things, the extent to which the learning was linked to different approaches to learning, including opportunities to engage in independent work, in peer-to-peer work, classroom activities/lectures, and/or an apprenticeship-type collaboration with the professor. (It is not assumed that you will have evidence that learning occurred within the context of all of these approaches to learning. Learning relationships are grounded in different educational theories, but cannot be universally assumed as best ways of learning for all students. It is anticipated that you will discuss your quality of learning relative to the four course objectives)

4 course objectives:
1.Understanding Perspectives on the Past. Students will learn how to locate, detect, recognize, define, and explain assumptions, presuppositions, perspectives, and biases in traditional and non-traditional primary sources, historical scholarship, and our own interpretations of the past. Students will explore the relationship between knowledge of the past and understanding of the present; learn about the tension between objectivity and subjectivity in the pursuit of historical truth; and examine disciplinary boundaries, approaches, and contributions.
2.Using Secondary Sources. Students will learn how to identify and locate secondary sources (this includes advanced library skills that will allow them to identify sources on the same historical topic from a variety of historical approaches) and how to critically read secondary sources (including how to summarize their main thesis and arguments, critique and evaluate them, and identify their place within the historiography). Students will learn common fields, themes, approaches, theories, and methods in historical research.
3.Using Primary Sources. Students will learn what constitutes the historical record and how respect for the integrity of that record disciplines how historians think about the past. They will learn how to locate and identify primary sources and how to critically examine primary sources.
4.Working with Sources. Students will learn how to write a good research question; how to modify research questions if the primary sources are limited or if the primary sources do not support the original view; and how to describe, evaluate, and formulate an explanation of past events. They will also learn how to weave evidence into their narratives and critical analysis of evidence into their writing. This class will encourage students to learn different modes of presenting historical knowledge.
The readings and activities in this course are designed to help you develop the following important skills: thinking critically and independently; evaluating the quality and reliability of information; making sound judgments by examining evidence; expressing yourself clearly and effectively through writing and discussions, and in the various formats that professional historians use to convey knowledge in the 21st century; and working productively with others, including offering and receiving constructive criticism.
