제공되는 성적

This class is part 3 of the American History classes I offer. Some knowledge of America from 1789-1865 is recommended before taking this class.

Given the sheer breadth of this course, it would be unreasonable to list all sources used in the development of this course.  Please know that I am a certified, experienced, and qualified social studies teacher, with 15+ years of experience. All of the sources I've consulted and any that I would recommend to learners will be reputable and based on historical research.  A large variety of sources will be included in this course.

Outschool works hard to ensure that classes include multiple viewpoints and provide high-quality content, however, class design and content is commonly stolen by other teachers/organizations, so I am hesitant to provide more detail regarding my sources or how I incorporate them. Great effort has gone into designing this class and incorporating a large variety of resources and materials. Therefore, I am providing a general list of sources that I use, but not the specific resources, and any adult (or learner) needing more details about the sources used for class content can contact me and I'm happy to share more specifics.
