Goal 7 – History of Western Civilization, HIST 110

While HIST 222 focused on United States history, this class served to focus on modern western civilizations and European History, while also giving connections to the United States. Overall, this class looked at western civilization and events such as the french revolution, the era of enlightenment, and later the world wars and Cold War era.

While this first class was primarily lecture-based, this teacher fostered student discussion, and had us look at history from a teacher’s perspective. While this did serve as a content review, I found that I was also able to see what instructional methods work best for teaching certain concepts, such as mnemonics, or games that would help teach new key words.
