I&#8217;ve tagged all their posts with &#8220;Fall10.&#8221; Spring 2011 students can safely ignore anything that was written before this message (12\/22\/10), since I&#8217;ll re-post new information for your sections as we go along. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The required books for Spring 2011 are: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shi and Mayer, <em>For the Record: Documentary History of America<\/em>, Volume 2. 4th ed (Norton, 2010) &#8211; ISBN 9780393934045<\/p>\n<p>Davidson, <em>Experience History<\/em>, Volume 2. 7th ed (McGraw-Hill, 2011) &#8211; ISBN 9780077368326<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I highly recommend that you own a copy of Diana Hacker, <i><a href=\"http:\/\/bcs.bedfordstmartins.com\/writersref6e\/Player\/Pages\/Main.aspx\">A Writer&#8217;s Reference<\/a><\/i> (ISBN 978 0312450257). This should have been assigned in your English Comp class, and will be a handy reference book for the writing you will do in this class and throughout your college years. The section on <a href=\"http:\/\/bcs.bedfordstmartins.com\/resdoc5e\/RES5e_ch10_o.html\">Chicago Style<\/a> (CMS) will help you with history-style footnotes and citation. In addition, I often find myself referring students back to her &#8220;Glossary of usage&#8221; and her advice on eliminating passive tense. While the Hacker is not a required text, I do assume that all my students have a copy and that they can make use of it. It is available in the university bookstore every semester. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the course website for Tona Hangen&#8217;s sections of US History II at Worcester State (HI 112-02 and HI 112-H2) meeting in Room S-105, MWF at 9:30 in the Spring 2011 semester.
