HIST 215 (American)
Course Content; Lectures were largely sleep inducing but we found that we could get by on the prescribed reading. Tutorials were compulsory. This course definately allowed for in depth study in areas of interest. A good course by a liberal minded lecturer, no dogma, no pressure until the last weeks of the 'dirty assessment hitch' when the 'Research Topic' and the Test on tutorials hit at once. Deadly for insomniacs!
Assessment; 2 short essays, the best mark is taken.
1 research topic, not too straining until combined with
The Test (25%) based on God knows what from tutorials. We moaned about this, so it may not exist next year. This is a valuable course for the 'not so lazy' student.
