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.
