History students
“I’m glad I took history for many reasons. Firstly, I learned a lot of what has happened in the past that has shaped our world today. I think it’s important to be knowledgeable on what has happened in the past. To know of the people who came before us and the accomplishments and mistakes they made. Secondly, I think I’m a better critical thinker because of this course.”
“I was glad I studied History because it made me a more knowledgeable person about the events and people from back then. It made me understand some things that I was confused about in history. Also, I learned a lot of things through this class.”
“History is a class I took because I was interested in it. I am glad I took it because I learned a lot of interesting things, which I believe I can use in the future. There were many fun, creative assignments, that we did which helped improve my reading and writing abilities.”
“It was time well spent learning history.”
“I didn’t just have to memorize dates and names and places. I got to approach history analytically, and study cause-and-effect relationships between certain events over time. This made history all the more enjoyable.”
