Day 1 Notes (Wed Jan 23)
by Dr. H - January 23rd, 2019
Welcome to our class!
What to do for Friday, Jan 25th:
Bring your textbook to class on Friday
Read the syllabus. Read it twice.
Explore the course Blackboard environment and course website
Read Hewitt & Lawson, EAH (Exploring American Histories) Chapter 14 section on “Emancipations”
Write a practice PSA paper and either bring it to Friday’s class or upload it to the Pre-PSA assignment portal on Blackboard by start of class on Friday. For your document, use the one you got in today’s class, or any one from Chapter 14 of the textbook, or one from this online collection of documents. For more info on what a PSA Paper is and how to write one, see p. 3 of the syllabus, the PSA Papers section of Blackboard, or the PSA Papers tab, above. You might not be able to fully cite the document you got in class (not all of them had dates / authors), so just do your best with making a footnote for it this time around.
If you can’t obtain the textbook this week, there is 1 copy on course reserve at the Library circulation desk. You will need your OneCard to check it out, and you can use it for up to 2 hours at a time during regular library hours.
Thanks, all! ~ Dr. Hangen
