Delivery
This course will be delivered 100% digitally, through Moodle, Weebly, and Google Drive. All discussion posts and assignments will be submitted through the appropriate tab in Moodle. All course content, outside the text, as well as course information, pacing guide, and assignment details will be posted in Weebly. Document templates for some assignments have been created and can be found in your Google Drive Shared Folder.
Communication will occur through discussion posts and announcements made in Moodle. Communication with the instructor should be made in the General Questions discussion forum, unless the question is of a personal nature. If you have questions about the assignments or content please use the General Questions forum. You may respond to your classmates' posts in this forum as well. Chances are, if you have a question, one of your peers may have the same question, or may be able to clarify something or answer your question.
Workload
This course will require extensive reading and you should plan to spend no less than 7.5 hours completing the readings, assignments, discussions, and review work for each module. Students should plan to work on one module per week, however your prior knowledge of history may mean that some modules are easier than others. I encourage you to work ahead whenever possible.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments, or concerns!
