Course Description
This course covers American History from the Pre-Columbian period to the present. It provides a thorough examination of the major social, political, and economic events, issues, and themes of the period. The main theme of this course will be the exploration of American democracy- how it has been defined by various groups, how those definitions have changed over time, and how those competing definitions have been reflected in policies and actions. We will also consider the role and various definitions of capitalism as they relate to the changing ideas about democracy.
Prerequisite: ENGL 0990

Keep in mind, my goal as a professor and teacher is to help your student PREPARE for the rigor and expectations of college. If you have questions about grading, assignments, etc. ask me!

Cell phones and electronic devices may only be used at appropriate times under the direction of the teacher. Inappropriate use of electronic device will result in said device being confiscated and given to an administrator.

Attendance and timeliness is important. Students need to be responsible, but I will work with students if needed quarantining, isolating, etc. is required. They will not be penalized, but will be expected to make up all work missed.

If a student is in Isolation or Quarantine I will work with that student to complete their work on Canvas for the days they missed, including adjusted due dates as needed.

The award of credit in this class is subject to the conditions outlined in the Bingham High Attendance Policy.

As a wide variety of differing opinions will be shared throughout the year; rude, derogatory, or condescending remarks will not be tolerated. All students want to be heard and treated with respect; give that respect and it will be reciprocated.

Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in any way and will result in failure for that assignment and if the instructor so decides, failure for the course.

Students agree to follow Covid protocols in the classroom and hallways. Following these protocols protects all students and keeps us all where we want to be—in school.

From time to time films and documentaries will be used as a curricular tool. The appropriate academic use of film can help students synthesize multiple components of study into a more unified and coherent understanding of a complex concept. A list of films is happily provided if you email me at my school address. Films or clips from films with a “G”, “PG”, and “PG-13” rating that have SPECIFIC ACADEMIC MERIT may be used.

I am excited to spend time with your student this year exploring American History! If there are any concerns or issues I should be aware of, please let me know in the comments below or email me. Thanks!
