Basic Information

The place to start is your course syllabus! This can always be found in the Canvas shell for your class. If you are having trouble finding it, ask your instructor.

If your section uses an OER textbook, there will either be a link to click on or a PDF will be provided to you. Otherwise, the library has many of the textbooks for 2-hour in-library checkout, and you can purchase copies at the Viking Bookstore. Some textbooks are available for rent or in e-book form through the Viking Bookstore.

Here are the Student Learning Outcomes for your course:

  • Analyze the motivations, achievements and failures of major historical personages from the Reconstruction Era to the end of the 20th century in the United States (1888-1999).
  • Assess and synthesize important historical problems and decide on possible different alternatives or outcomes of events from the Reconstruction Era to the end of the 20th century in the United States (1888-1999).
  • Evaluate and summarize the lessons of history from the Reconstruction Era to the end of the 20th century in the United States (1888-1999)--and how they served to guide and influence the future generations.

The library has print books and electronic resources for you to use in any research assignments and to help you understand the course material.
