Class meetings will occur twice-weekly for the lectures and
once-weekly in discussion sections.  Lectures are geared to the
political, economic, constitutional, and social basis of American
history from the Civil War to the present, stressing such events,
eras, and movements as Reconstruction, industrialization, political
and tariff reform, populism, the Progressive movement, urbanization
and immigration, the 1929 depression, the New Deal, two world wars,
the Korean, Vietnamese, and Persian Gulf conflicts, and significant
issues and people of recent decades.  Discussion sections may focus on
conflicting historical interpretations.  Two 50-minute essay exams
plus a two-hour final essay exam for the semester, with each exam
covering roughly 1/3 of the assigned literature and lectures.  Final
grades will be based (roughly) on a general average of exam
performance, with some evaluation of student's participation in
discussion sections.
