8-1 Discussion: Making Connections

Now that you have reached the end of this course, reflect on your experiences of conducting historical research and connecting the past with the present.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

1.  How has examining your beliefs, assumptions, and values related to your historical and current events impacted how you process information in your daily life? For example, consider claims made by politicians, news headlines, tweets by celebrities, or articles shared by your family on social media.

2.  What changes, big or small, have occurred in how you apply historical inquiry skills to classes, your personal life, and/or your career?

Be sure to provide specific examples to support your points.

For your response posts, address the following:

1.  What perspectives have your peers offered that you had not previously considered about the value of identifying one's beliefs, assumptions, and values?

2.  Suggest other ways historical inquiry skills might help your peers in their personal, professional, and academic careers.

Remember, this assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates. If you refer to any module resources, be sure to include an attribution (or citation) for the resource.
