BA History (Experienced student)

[grogers14]

Also, can anyone recommend the quickest/easiest History courses? I am fairly adaptable topic-wise, my knowledge is pretty broad. Weakest in Asian history probably. I am juggling trying to finish a 15000 word dissertation for my MA...

I took 

HTY489 History of Infectious Disease (Favorite course I've taken in all my college coursework because I love medical history)
POS343 Marxism 
POS335 Modern Political Thought
HTY439 The Vietnam Wars 
HTY/POS370 The Arab-Israeli conflict 

And they were all short and all with Dr Zaborney. 2-3 "Units" each and only 2 "Milestones" and then the finals were a mere 1500 word essay in APA format.  His style is more so let the student enjoy the class and just demonstrate they at least learned something. For POS335 Modern Political Thought, the prompt in the final assessment is so, so , so vague and I think it was on purpose so students could just write about close to anything they want as long as it relates to the course.  He also checks the online courses EVERY day which makes them go faster. In YourPace, one of the major factors in your speed is the waiting on professors to grade. Zaborney is fast, but , some of the Humanities  & Bus. professors take a little longer.

Interesting that he wants APA and not Chicago. I am much better at APA so I am not complaining. Guessing you were the polysci concentration?

I did the BLS program with the required minor in MGMT, but I added a minor in Social Studies since I was only four classes away. A majority of the courses require APA, so youre in luck !
