Welcome Fall 2012 students!
by Dr. H - June 13th, 2012
This website serves as the hub for Tona Hangen’s sections of US History II (HI 112), the US Since 1877. In Fall 2012 I will teach one section, on MWF at 8:30 am. The course number is HI 112-07 or HI 112-H1 if you’re taking it for honors credit.
Our textbook this term is David J. Trowbridge, A History of the United States, Vol II (Flat World Knowledge, 2012). The book is FREE (to read online) or you can purchase one of several different pricing options for mobile, downloadable or print versions. It will not be available for rent or sale in the bookstore; instead you should access the book online or purchase your preferred format directly from the publisher. Click on the title or the left sidebar link to learn more.
From this site, you can download the syllabus or access it online, stay up to date with course news and any changes, see the guidelines for the course papers and projects, and follow links to my recommended history and writing resources on the web. You can also add the course’s Google calendar to your own; just click on the “About & Course Calendar” tab above.
This site is a blog, meaning it updates frequently and you should bookmark it or subscribe to it using an RSS feed reader (such as Google Reader). Please check it often or make sure that you subscribe to its updates to stay on top of our coursework. I leave up the previous semesters’ information as an archive for my past students. You can safely ignore any post not tagged “Fall 12.”
If you have questions about the course before we meet in person on Wednesday, September 5th, please feel free to email me, at thangen (at) worcester.edu
