Prerequisite: ENGL 106 or appropriate placement score or EAP 113 and EAP 117 Students can earn 6-credit hours (3-credit hours for ENGL 121, Composition I and 3-credit hours for HIST 141, U.S. Since 1877). U.S. History comes alive and makes more sense to people when they can see the big and little events in light of their own family's stories and memories. Not only will students study the expected topics (World War II, Viet Nam, the Great Depression), they will also explore the history of private life: what people ate, wore, worked and played at in any given era. At the same time, students will work on writing their own family's history. Instead of approaching Composition I as a series of unrelated essays, students will learn to write by focusing on how class readings and discussions related directly to their own and their family's lives. Through narrative, analysis, and research, they will create a document that their family can rely on and refer to over the course of generations to come.
