SCHEDULE OF ASSIGNMENTS, HISTORY 122: Spring 2010
Updated February 19, 2010

Assignments are all up to date, but I am still checking links, adding images, etc. Please notifiy me of problems at hsage@cox.net. There are no “holidays” in distance courses: Arrange breaks according to the schedule.

shuttleCopies of all readings, including documents, are available in print or as downloadable PDF from www.lulu.com/hjsage. Delivery takes about 7 days from when you order, as Lulu is a “print on demand” service. The free version is linked below in sections. The bookstores do not carry this text.

Read Syllabus, Course Policy, Blackboard Instructions, Course Description and Objectives, How to Succeed, Test Taking, Study Hints, Writing Tips, Grading policy & How to Avoid Plagiarism.

Introduction: Review requirements and plan your course. Think about the essays you plan to write and look over practice quizzes & exams. Post Introduction in Blackboard.
