Study Aids-Introduction

This page contains advice for students taking history classes for the first time. Even so, there is useful information on these page for all students, including advanced history students.

If you have never taken a History class before, I recommend beginning with the "Study Aids" section in the first week of class. If you have questions about how to write papers for a History class, see "Writing Aids." If you are interested in learning more about history, consult the "Research Tools."

I update this page frequently, so if you discover errors, please email me.
