The objective of this course is to examine the history of Maryland from
its founding in 1634 to the near present. All texts for the course including
Robert J. Brugger, Maryland: A Middle Temperament, 1634-1980 (Baltimore:
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1988), also available in paperback,
are provided on loan to students in pdf format (for which an Adobe
Acrobat Viewer is requred). CDs containing the texts will be distributed
the first night of class. They will be supplemented with pamphlets,
articles, and document packets available on the web through the teaching
portal: http://www.teachersmd.net.
Students are expected to complete the assigned reading before class.
All students are expected to submit one book report according to the schedule
in the syllabus, and to complete a take home final exam of 10 identifications,
10 short answers, and an essay (from a choice of three). The
final will be distributed at the last class and due back one week later
as an email attachment to the instructor. Students should purchase
in print copies of all copyrighted texts (and assume responsibility for
personal use only of any electronic texts accessed by the password supplied
by the instructor, or on CD loaned for the semester. Students are
expected to have email accounts or access to email accounts and web access.
