Puz at skpuz@csupomona.eduThis section of History 202 will be a totally online survey of U.S. history from the aftermath of the Civil War to the present. Both traditional print materials and online World Wide Web history resources will be utilized.
Significance is placed on ethnic and gender diversity and the democratization of the U.S., on political, social, cultural and economic trends and events which have molded and characterized America as a modern nation and world power. Emphasis will be given to developing the ability to interpret some of the most fundamental issues in U.S. history. Students will be encouraged to think critically about American history and to examine and analyze historical sources of information. This course meets the U.S. History part of Cal Poly Pomona's U.S. History and Institutions requirement for graduation.
This course is the first virtual history course offered at Cal Poly Pomona. As such, it is an experiment in education, mediated through computer networks, electronic mail, virtual collaboration, live online interaction and an electronic dialogue between students and American historians throughout the world.
While the basic structure of the course is set, there is a built-in flexibilty and students are encouraged to suggest changes to improve the content and delivery of the course.
