Syllabus and Information |
||||
|
||||
This course is now being taught in an 8-week format. Assignments have been modified, but the course content has not changed. The requirements are the same as they were for a 16-week course, with modifications. If you are used to 16-week courses, consider this as two courses in the old format. Do not take this course and History 122 at the same time. |

| Instructor: Jud Sage E-mail: hsage@cox.net. I generally respond to email within 24 hours, usually less. In emergency, call the ELI hot line and they will call me. Alternate email: hsage@nvcc.edu. Please do not send the same email to both addresses. Please put History 121 in the subject line of emails, especially when submitting papers, and identify yourself in the message.

TEXT: The text for this course is contained on this web site. All required readings and documents are linked from the Assignments Page. For your convenience, a print version is available at low cost (under $20) from Lulu Publishing, an online, print-on-demand publisher. The print-on-demand system keeps the cost low. This text is not available through the bookstore because it would cost substantially more. If you order a print copy, it will take about one week to arrive. You can pay through PayPal, a very secure online payment system owned by EBay, or use a credit card. Because of the college's contract with the B&N bookstore, they will tell you there is no text for this course. I am not allowed to refer you to any other source of books, but this web site in not subject to college approval. My purpose is to save you money. NOTE: you do not have to purchase anything. The printed version is offered for your convenience, but everything you need is available free on this web site. You can order your print or PDF copy through the Jud Sage storefront at www.lulu.com. |

SKILLS: This course requires intensive reading and good writing skills. You should be able to read and write at a level sufficient to complete English 111 successfully. If your reading and writing skills are not yet ready to do college work, your grade will no doubt reflect that fact. If you have questions in this area, email the instructor. ACCOMMODATIONS: Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is encouraged to contact a Counselor for Disability Services. For additional information, please contact an ELI counselor at elicounselors@nvcc.edu or (703) 323-2425. All information is kept confidential and may increase your chances of success in the academic setting. |

Navigating the Web Site. These pages contain extra links to sources related to American History. All documents assigned for reading or for use in writing essays are on or linked from the History 121 pages. The topics on the assignments page contain the same material as the print version of the text. They are derived from lectures I gave during my 30 years in the classroom.
