Welcome Spring 2012 students!
by Dr. H - December 21st, 2011
This website serves as the hub for Tona Hangen’s sections of US History II (HI 112), the US Since 1877. In Spring 2012 I will teach one section, on MWF at 10:30 am. The course number is HI 112-11 or HI 112-H1 if you’re taking it for honors credit.
Our textbook is James Davidson, et al., Experience History: Interpreting America’s Past, ISBN 978-0077368326. There is one copy of the book on reserve at the library circulation desk, so in case you can’t get your copy before the course starts, you can check it out on 2-hour reserve.
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 that’s tagged at the bottom with “Fall11” or “Spring11” or “Fall2010,” since your posts will be tagged “Spr12.”
If you have questions about the course before we meet in person on Wednesday, January 18th, please feel free to email me, at thangen (at) worcester.edu
