WHAT MAKES THIS A SECTION HONORS COURSE –

Key to an Honors Transfer Program class is offering students opportunities for increased activities to engage in critical thinking, writing and research. In addition to your required four site visits and subsequent reports, you will be required to do more readings and consulting of scholarly sources than students enrolled in a regular History 102 class. Please understand this will prove to be a rewarding experience, which will prove to be invaluable when you transfer to a four-year university. I will also be calling on students to engage you on your work with scholarly resources and the additional outside readings that I will be giving you throughout the semester.

Required Texts: Oakes, McGerr, Lewis, et. al. Of the People: A History of the United States, Vol. 2. Fredrick Lewis Allen, Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920’s (this book needs to be ordered on-line or you can get it free from open source). While your in the book store = For class exams you will need three 886 E Mini Essay Books (it contains a place for your in class essay and a multiple choice section).

Course Requirements: 1. Class attendance is mandatory (Four or more absences will adversely affect your final course grade as will excessive tardiness (coming to class more than four times late). The passing of our three scheduled exams (No make-ups for any exam unless an emergency was involved. If an emergency did occur you are to let me know by e-mail immediately). The completion of four site reports worth 100 pts.

Writing Requirement: We will have four written assignments involving your visiting four local historic sites. Each paper will be worth 25 points and will be factored in as part of your final grade. During the third week of the semester I will give you the handout on how to do and write your reports. They will be due on at the beginning of class on Monday June 5, 2017. Please Turn Over --

Drop Policy: It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the class (the only exception being those that will dropped for not attending the first day of class). Please follow the correct procedures and deadlines as outlined in the college’s schedule of classes. Last day to drop with a “W” is Friday, May 12, 2017.

Class Behavior: I am a big believer in running a tight but fair ship. Central to this is being respectful to your fellow students, who, like you, are here to get a college education. Be respectful of them as they should be to you. In that regard when class begins please have your cell phone turned off, do not send or read text messages, and ask permission (before class begins) to leave early. In addition, no lap tops for note taking or taping of lectures without my permission. Lastly schedule your medical appointments around your classes.

Exam Preparation - One week before each exam I will provide you with a study sheet. It will contain four essay questions and a grouping of terms and identifications. On the day of the exam you will get two essay questions (all random). You will select and write on one essay that is on your exam followed by a multiple choice section that will have 25 questions many based on those found on the study sheet.

Thus, Freddy sits with his\her friends (chatting away while the professor is trying to talk), comes in tardy for class (and when he does – he lets everyone know that he has arrived) and then of course – minutes before the class is to end – he starts to puts his things away. Freddy also likes to check his messages and text message back – in the middle of class!!! Freddy also likes to come class when he is really sick – so he can share his flu or cold with the rest of us. Unfortunately for us we have to deal with Freddy and teach him\her that this is college. Please don’t be Freddy – here’s to a great semester!!!

Movie Nights at the Old Town Music Hall

Over and over I’ve heard from students that one of their favorite things about taking this history class was going to the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo. As good luck would have it, the legendary Bill Fields has again kindly consented to put on two special performances for our history classes this semester. If you haven’t been to the Old Town Music Hall this will prove to be a treat. You will feel as if you stepped back in time. The theatre was built and open during the silent movie era. Over 80 years later we will sit where others before us enjoyed the early days of movies and music. On Thursday Night March 16th – and Thursday May 4th (a very movie), Bill will open our evenings together by playing the “Mighty Wulitzer.”

Our nights together = Box Office opens at 6:30 pm Movie starts at 7:00 pm (you earn 7 points by attending).
