Tutor: Jim Moloney
This class covers the broad spectrum of history from Ancient Times to the present, sometimes with a broad brush and other times through minute by minute detail. The class has a "learning by doing" philosophy. Members are encouraged to contribute on history topics of their own choosing by researching the topic, then preparing their talk and presenting it to the class. Talks are typically an hour in length. Lively class discussion is strongly encouraged. Over the year, everyone has the chance to give a talk if they so choose (it is not obligatory).
