Reading requirement:
Writing Assignment: Due, Sunday January 14, evening.
Please send your response to me via email (it may be as an attachment, or
just within your email message - and you may choose similarly for all written
assignments for this class).
What about history interests you? Did you have other history classes,
either at college level or in school, which you found particularly interesting?
Which and why? (Your responses to these questions will help
me determine foci for the rest of the course). For the "weekly" writing
assignments, a page or two is normally sufficient, for me - but if you get
"carried away" I won't penalize!
