World History
This course covers the development of world civilization, from prehistory
to the present. In addition to surveying world history, students will
explore answers to the question, "Why study history?" in an attempt to
establish the relevancy of history for application in life and career.
The question, "How does a historian establish the reliability of a historical
account?" will also be examined with a view to applying the critical
thinking method to dilemmas in life. In answering that question, we will
look at the New Testament as the foremost example of an ancient text
with sterling credentials. We consider the use of archaeological findings,
evidence from within a text, evidence from outside sources, and
attestation from manuscripts, to establish the credibility of a historical
account.
Finally, we will also cover practical "lessons in history" which may be
applied in exercising one's citizenship (understanding the news, voting,
etc.), and in various professional fields.
New for 2007-2008: Video lectures and online discussions covering
critical thinking questions and lessons in history (practical application)
Tracks
This course is offered in 3 versions: Track II (the basic course--"history for
non-historians"), Track I (College Prep.) and Honors. The tuition for all
tracks is the same.
This course is approved for credit by SCAIHS.
(South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools)
Money-back guarantee:
You will receive a full refund if, during the first month of the academic
year, you withdraw your student for any reason. (This gives you a
month-long, risk-free, no-cost trial of my tutoring services.) Refunds will
normally be given, for any reason, on a pro-rated basis after that point,
based on the amount of time remaining in the course. For example: If a
student is withdrawn at the beginning of the 2nd half of the course, half of
the tuition will be refunded.
