Thinking like a historian: Writing historical narratives, wikis, and doing history
History isn’t simply an unchanging factual account of the past; it is a narrative reconstruction of the past or a story told about the past, which is created following certain, often unspoken, rules. Historians sift through the surviving evidence of the past and weigh it. In the process they have to deal with ambiguity, uncertainty, and contradiction. Learning how to do this last task is a major goal of B301 The Crusades. Students do not simply “learn” history; they “do” history, that is, create historical narratives themselves, and in the process become more experienced in working with the complications provided by evidence.

NSSE: National Survey of Student Engagement
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) obtains, on an annual basis, information from hundreds of four-year colleges and universities nationwide about student participation in programs and activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. The results provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college. Survey items on The National Survey of Student Engagement represent empirically confirmed "good practices" in undergraduate education. That is, they reflect behaviors by students and institutions that are associated with desired outcomes of college.
