 | The
History Guide - By Steven Kreis. «The History Guide has been created
for the high school and undergraduate student who is either taking classes in history, or
who intends to major in history in college. The purpose of The History Guide is to better
prepare yourself for your history classes and to make your time in class more enjoyable
and proficient. The History Guide contains the complete content of three undergraduate
courses in European history which will certainly be of use to those of you studying such
topics at the college level or in A.P. European history classes. Upon its completion, The
History Guide will contain nearly sixty lectures in European history from ancient Sumer to
the fall of Soviet-style communism in 1989. Parents engaged in home schooling their
children will find much that is of interest and I urge you to contact me if there are any
details I can help provide to you. The History Guide also contains an intellectual
autobiography. If you are thinking of pursuing graduate work in history, then you should
definitely read it carefully before you jump in over your head. This site has been
developed in the Socratic spirit of wisdom and knowledge. If I can't share the knowledge I
have amassed over the years then that knowledge has certainly been ill-conceived. Feel
free to send me your comments. Enjoy! This is for you!» |

«World Cultures is the culmination of over two years of web-based
teaching and learning. The site combines the reading and course materials of two World
Cultures courses taught using web-based materials since Fall of 1994. The site is now
expanding into a larger resource for a larger population and distribution of students and
will eventually consist of a rich anthology of readings, a complete set of textbook
materials, a set of interrelated learning modules, and a finished glossary. In this second
stage of development, World Cultures is metamorphosing from an individual project to a
collaborative and collective one. Textual submissions of reading material, glossary
material, textbook material, graphic design, learning modules, and classes are encouraged.
Please refer to the submissions policy below. Purpose. World Cultures has been
designed for freshman-level students; the readings require college entrance- level reading
skills and college-level self-motivation. World Cultures is not meant to be a text, but an
interactive reading environment that rewards independence, interest, self-direction, and
intellectual interaction with the authors of the material. The entire design is oriented
to teach independence, interactivity, recursive reading and learning skills, and
constructed knowledge. Although designed for university freshman students, the texts,
glossary, and learning modules are intended to be accessible and usable for high school
level students and advanced undergraduates. In order to increase usability for advanced
undergraduates, bibliographies of works consulted are being assembled for textbook
entries, glossary entries, and learning modules. For reference purposes, individual
authors and translators will be indicated at the bottom of each selection. For copyright
information on texts or GRAPHICS, please consult the copyright notices»
