Reading List—U.S. History II

It is important that the student allot sufficient time to complete all the assignments, more especially so because of the short nature of the summer semester. On average a student should be working two to three hours outside of class for each hour in class. That means for this three-hour history class, you should be working six to nine hours a week outside class. Since this is an online course, short term, students should be working on their own at least fifteen-to-twenty hours a week. That means taking effective notes from the reading, exploring the websites posted on my website, and exploring the Internet on your own to bring new material to the learning process.
