More broadly, students will explore themes like politics, economics, culture, migration, and the interplay of identity and power in shaping history.


How is the Class Structured?

The class is divided into chronological units. Each week includes:

-Live sessions: Interactive lectures with Q&A opportunities. After-class tutoring is also available as another course selection on my page!

-Projects: Creative tasks like mock debates or artistic expressions.
-Exam Prep: Regular review sessions, practice tests, and written assignments.


How Will You Teach?

I combine multimedia tools with interactive activities:

-Lecture segments: Engaging and concise, supported by visuals.
-Slides and video clips: To illustrate key events and bring history to life.
-Discussions: Small-group and whole-class formats for deep dives.
-Games and activities: Trivia, role-playing, and scenario analysis.
-Primary sources: Close reading of historical documents for skill-building.


What’s Your Teaching Style?

I emphasize an energetic and inquiry-based approach, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking. My teaching adapts to different learning styles, balancing structure and creativity to ensure all students stay engaged.


How Much Will Learners Interact with You?

Learners will have direct interaction through:

-Live Q&A during lectures.
-Breakout discussions to explore topics in small groups.
-Feedback on assignments to guide improvement.
-Office hours for one-on-one support can also be scheduled on an as-needed basis.
