You made it to the end of the term! For this final assignment, please write a 400-600 word reflection (2-3 pages) reflecting on what you have learned in this course. This reflection will be worth 5% of your final grade.
I hope that by this point in the term, you understand that history is more than a list of names, dates, and facts about the past. History is also about interpretation, thinking like a historian, drawing connections, examining our assumptions, and looking at how things change over time (just to name a few!). Over the course of this semester you have learned a lot of details about US history and honed your analytical and interpretive skills. Hopefully the course has also prompted you to think about why history is important and how the past shapes our lives in the present. This reflection is an opportunity to think about what you learned and why it matters.
Your reflection should include specific details about the course and what you learned. This can include discussion of specific ideas, concepts, assignments, materials, skills, etc.
Questions to Consider in your Reflection
Use these questions to guide your reflection. You don’t need to answer every single one, but your reflection should address at least 3-4 of them.
What are your biggest takeaways or insights from this course?
How has learning more about the past influenced how you understand the present?
What lessons or skills from this course will you apply in future courses or other areas of your life?
What do you think you will remember from this course in five years? Is there one story from the readings, lecture, or videos that will stick with you? Explain what it is and why it matters to you.
Is there an assignment, discussion, or achievement that you are especially proud of from this course?
What was a challenge you faced in this course? What did you learn from that challenge?
Note: this assignment is less formal than a traditional essay, so it is fine to use I and the first-person. You should still proofread your reflection for spelling and grammar mistakes before submitting it.
Reminder: you cannot include AI-generated writing in this assignment. If I find that the assignment included AI-generated text, you will earn a zero on this assignment and will not be permitted to redo it.
