This course focuses on way too many different subjects at once. There are five assigned textbooks, so each is given about 3 weeks to fully digest in this course, and all of them have plenty of assignments requiring extensive reading and retention of information.

The course teaches through example on how to construct a historical argument. It runs the gambit on the many overlooked traumas of different historical tragedies and ties together different times, different places, different issues in the best way to deliver one hot take on the underlying issues. The focus of the course is on how to properly do the same with a subject of your choosing.

The class is only worth 3 credits, but takes as much time and effort as any two others in this program, so don't take this in a semester that has any other heavy classes.

A lot of discussion posts but overall an easy class

While 105 and 305 are supposed to be pretty similar, 305 at least with Musgrave had no assignments leading up to the final project. It was essentially just show up, discuss some article readings, then write a final paper on whatever we wanted that we saw as a "contemporary issue". Just had to show up and didn't really talk during discussion, paper was pretty easy ~6-8 pages if I remember correctly.

Pretty boring to listen to, very knowledgeable though.
