SUCCESS IN THIS COURSE
UNDERSTANDING HISTORY AND THE STUDY OF HISTORY
History
is not about “memorizing” data, facts, names, and dates. History is about knowing and understanding
the past and its impact on the present: what
happened, when and where, who was involved, what motivated
the participants, why events happened,
and the consequences and significance of those events/actions.
In order to be successful in this course, you must know the “who, what, when,
where and why” but also the “connections” between people and events, the
“motivations”, and the “consequences (short-term and long-term)” of the events
of the past. Memorizing can be helpful,
but it will not give you a complete understanding
of history.
USING THIS
STUDY GUIDE
The
questions in this Study Guide are designed to help you achieve a greater understanding of the past. Some of the questions are easy to answer; some
require you to analyze what you have read and arrive at the best
answer. Some answers are short; some are
long (multi-part).
The
study questions in this guide are provided to help you achieve success on the
exams and in this course and are not
to be turned in to me. I don’t review your answers, but will be happy to discuss with you, any that you don’t
understand or feel unsure of. All
answers are to be found on the Textbook.
Do NOT “Google” the
questions. Find them in the textbook.
MORE STUDY
TIPS
Here
are some other suggestions for achieving success in this course:
§
Read
the chapter first, to get a good overview
of what the chapter is about. Pay attention to the chapter subheadings
(subtitles). They are often clues to the important themes
of a chapter. Similarly, pay attention
to the opening paragraph of each section - here you will usually find the thesis, or "main point" of a
section.
§
Then
read the chapter again, answering the study questions.
§
Write
short but complete answers to each of these study questions. Use a “bulleted”
format (that is, a “list”) for your answers. Some students use index cards,
writing one question/answer on each card.
§
Don't
just highlight the answers in your textbook - write them.
§
Read
with a dictionary. Look up any word
whose meaning you don’t know.
§
Approach
this course as you would a job. Set aside a specific time each day - or every
other day - to work on reading and study questions. This is your work schedule; honor it as you
would your job schedule.
§
Work
on the reading and study questions gradually, completing small amounts of work
each day (or every other day). Research
shows that people retain information better if they work for no more than 2
hours at one task. For example, on
Mondays from 2-4 pm, read half the chapter.
On Tuesday, read the other half.
On Wednesday, write out the first 20 study questions; on Thursday, the
next 20, and so on. Don't try to do all the reading and the study questions the
night before the exam.
"Cramming" is not an effective, nor is it a successful study
method.
§
If
you have any trouble understanding the questions – or finding answers, or if
you are unsure of your answers, contact me for clarification.
Additional
Study Tips are
available in the dark blue section of the Course page in Blackboard, and other “Success Tools” will be posted in the
“Announcements” link for this class in Blackboard.
