NOTE: Every semester about a week prior to the first day of class, I email all enrolled students a letter of introduction and provide some preclass information.  If you are not an enrolled student see the class links or email me for further information.

A variety of instructor designed streamed-media are included in my History 16, History 17 and History 4 courses which makes learning fun, exciting, and "brings history alive."
