Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Canadian social, political, and economic history from 1867, examining Indigenous/colonial settler relations, immigration, regionalism, foreign policy, economic development, culture, and political movements. Students with credit for HIST 102 may not take this course for further credit. Writing/Breadth-Humanities.

COURSE DETAILS:

In this course we will take stock of the history of the peoples of Canada since the mid-nineteenth century. We will do so by engaging with a variety of topics, eras, sources, types of historical writing, perspectives and worldviews from and about the past, and historical thinking and source analysis skills. This summer you will do this through placing yourself in the role of the teacher (some of you may even have plans to do precisely that when you graduate). The entire course is geared towards you using writing to develop your ideas about how you think History should be curated and presented to stir learning in others.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
