LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR HISTORY The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) has set learning outcomes for all core

mailto:disabilityservices@apsu.edu
mailto:helpdesk@apsu.edu
mailto:d2lhelp@apsu.edu
courses common across TBR institutions. The common desired learning outcomes for this course are as listed below. Students will demonstrate the ability to: 1) Analyze historical facts and interpretations 2) Analyze and compare political, geographical, economic, social, cultural, religious and intellectual institutions, structures, and processes across a range of historical periods and cultures. 3) Recognize and articulate the diversity of human experience across a range of historical periods and the complexities of a global culture and society. 4) Draw on historical perspective to evaluate contemporary problems/issues 5) Analyze the contributions of the past cultures/societies to the contemporary world According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18) are not allowed in the classrooms. While I recognize that extenuating circumstances occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing children with them on occasion, I must enforce University policy and thus will deny any request for a child in my classroom. You should also be aware that minors are not allowed in the academic labs, computer labs, science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in the halls outside classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus, contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
