Course Overview
History is the subject that provides the context for our existence; it helps us to understand the ways things were in the past, are in the present and might be in the future. Put simply, history is what it means to be human. The discipline of history is our attempt to investigate, study, explain and reinterpret the past. We frame our investigations and explanations in terms of: cause and consequence; continuity and change; significance; perspective; and, evidence.
The aim of this course is to provide students with the skills to become successful and competent historians. We will study a variety of recent historical events to provide interesting and engaging contexts to develop these skills.
