| Required Textbooks |
Textbook Purchasing Statement: A student attending Lamar State College Port Arthur is not under any obligation to purchase a textbook from the college-affiliated bookstore. The same textbook may also be available from an independent retailer, including an online retailer.
OpenStax U.S. History is a free, online textbook which you will be able to access from Blackboard. There will be required reading materials in addition to your textbook, but all of these will be posted to Blackboard as well. You will NOT need to purchase any textbooks – or any other reading materials – for this course. You may access your OpenStax U.S. History via the following link:https://openstax.org/details/books/us-history You can read the book directly online from the website. Additionally, there is a PDF copy on Blackboard which you can save to your device (laptop, tablet, external hard drive, etc.). Furthermore, there are audiobook versions of the chapters posted by OpenStax to Youtube, and I will post links to those videos in the appropriate Blackboard folders (e.g., during the week in which we read chapter 14, you will find an embedded version of the audiobook version of chapter 14). Be aware that the file for the textbook is massive, and downloading a copy might take a few minutes if your connection is slow. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Additional Materials/Resources |
You MUST be able to access Blackboard and your LSCPA email outside of class time: this is not an option, but a necessity. In addition to the basic course textbook, you will also be required to read and analyze other materials including but not limited to primary sources, secondary sources and other articles or book excerpts germane to U.S. History before 1877. All of these materials will be available to you through the course Blackboard site, and it is your responsibility as a college student to read them in preparation for class discussions, activities, tests, and in-class writing assignments. Make sure to keep up with the course schedule and to check both the Blackboard and your student email account frequently. Additionally, it is incumbent upon the student to bring pencils with them to class during days in which we will be testing. The instructor will not provide writing utensils for you: once again, you are college students, and it is your responsibility to bring necessary materials with you to class. |

| Lecture Topics Outline |
This course is divided into seven modules: an introductory Module, five core modules, and the final exam module (which is essentially just the final exam and last week of class). In order to proceed from one module to the next, you will have to both complete all items in the prior module AND the time must be past 12:00 AM on the first day of the next module. For example, this means that to access Module One, you must do all the readings in the introductory module, complete the Syllabus Quiz, and the date must be 09/01/25. Below is a sketch of the Modules of this course and the basic topics and big assignments we will have in each of them. INTRO MODULE 08/25/25 – 08/27/25…Course Introduction Introduction to the structure of the course, the scope of HIST 1301, the nature of history as a discipline, as well as what primary and secondary sources are. You will also study this syllabus and be required to take and pass a syllabus quiz in order to access the rest of Blackboard.
Readings: MODULE ONE: 09/01/25 – 09/17/25…The Early Modern Atlantic World For the first three weeks of September, we will cover the early modern Atlantic World, including pre-Columbian Indigenous North American societies, West Africa during the late medieval and early modern periods, and the whys and hows of the expansion of the western European empires across the Atlantic Basin. Please note that 09/01/25 is Labor Day this year, and that we will not be holding a class session on that day. You are still obligated to do your readings in preparation for class time on 09/03/25. Readings: Chapters 1 – 3 in OpenStax U.S. History Additional Readings on Blackboard in Module One Readings folders Activities and Assignments: Knowledge Check, Chapter 1 (formative) Knowledge Check, Chapter 2 (formative) Knowledge Check, Chapter 3 (formative) Journal no. 1 Journal no. 2 Module One Test (in class on 09/17/25) MODULE TWO: 09/22/25 – 10/08/25…Empire and Revolution in British North America During the next three-week period, we will focus on the nature, culture and general history of the British Empire in North America, the origins and spread of radical political ideologies like republicanism and radical protest movements like the Patriot movement, and, of course, the U.S. War of Independence. Readings: Chapters 4 – 6 in OpenStax U.S. History Additional Readings on Blackboard in Module Two Readings folders Activities and Assignments: You will receive your instructions for the research assignment on 10/01/25 Knowledge Check, chapter 4 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 5 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 6 (formative) Journal no. 3 Journal no. 4 Module Two Test(initially slated for 10/08/25, but probably will be on 10/06/25 due to Port Arthur ISD scheduling) MODULE THREE: 10/13/25 – 10/29/25…Changes and Challenges for the Early Republic In the third full module, we will study the turbulent early decades of the post-Independence United States. In addition to major political developments like the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and creation of the Federal government, we will look at some of the external military threats and internal divisions that threatened the early republic, as well as at the importation of industrial revolution from England and its technological, social, economic and cultural consequences for the antebellum U.S. Readings: Chapters 7 – 9 in OpenStax U.S. History Additional Readings on Blackboard in Module Three Readings folders Activities and Assignments: Knowledge Check, chapter 7 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 8 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 9 (formative) Journal no. 5 Journal no. 6 Module Three Test (in class on 10/29/25) MODULE FOUR: 11/03/25 – 11/19/25…Antebellum Anxieties In the fourth full module, we will talk about the many sources of friction in U.S. society during the early and mid-nineteenth century. In addition to sectional conflict, which increasingly centered around the moral, economic, social, religious and political implications of slavery, there were other divisions within the U.S. and a host of reform movements which tried to remedy the various social ills of the day. Readings: Chapters 10, 12 and 13 in OpenStax U.S. History Additional Readings on Blackboard in Module Four Readings folders Activities and Assignments: Knowledge Check, chapter 10 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 12 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 13 (formative) Journal no. 7 Journal no. 8 Module Four Test (in class on 11/19/25) MODULE FIVE: 11/24/25 – 12/03/25…A House Divided Against Itself In the final module of the course, we will learn about the social dissolution of the U.S. during the 1850s and how the ever-more fractious sectional conflict of the nineteenth century culminated in the Civil War of the 1860s. Note that 11/26/25 is a campus holiday and that we will not have a class session that day. You are still expected to keep up with your readings for this module, however, as material from those documents will be on the final exam. This is college, not high school, so there is no rest for the wicked until the semester is done. Readings: Chapters 14 – 15 in OpenStax U.S. History Additional Readings on Blackboard in Module Five Readings folders Activities and Assignments: Knowledge Check, chapter 14 (formative) Knowledge Check, chapter 15 (formative) Research Assignment due by 11:59 PM on 12/01/25 12/08/25 – 12/10/25…FINAL EXAM WEEK Our final exam will be on Monday, 12/08/25.

| Major Assignments Schedule |
Below are the due dates for our major assignments. The four module tests and the final exam will be done in class during class time. The Journal assignments are multifaceted sorts of critical thinking assignments which must be turned in on Blackboard before 11:59 PM on the final day of the module (e.g., Journals nos. 3 and 4 are due before 11:59 PM on 10/08/25). Likewise, the research assignment must be turned in before 11:59 PM on its due date. Excepting students with certain kinds of Accommodations Memoranda, students faced with a documented medical or family crisis which the instructor can authenticate by way of contacting and/or meeting with a third party and students who are pregnant or parenting a child younger than 18, all due dates are set in stone and late work will result in a grade of zero. Bear in mind that you still need to complete all assignments for a module before you can move on to the next one, however, so even if you earned a zero for Journal no. 2 because it was late, you will still need to turn in acceptable work before you can access Module Two.

| Final Exam Date | December 8, 2025 - 12:00 PM Through December 8, 2025 - 1:15 PM | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Grading Scale |
Assignments are all graded on a percentage basis, and your grade in the course likewise will consist of a percentage score. Letter grades correspond to the following percentages:
I do not round grades. If you score an 89.5% on an assignment, your letter grade is a B and your numerical grade remains an 89.5%: it will not be rounded up to a 90%/A. You scored what you scored, and that is that. This also goes for course grades: if your final course average is a 59.9%, then you failed the course. A grade of D requires that you score a percentage average of 60%, and 59.9 ≠ 60. |

| Instructor Policies |
Syllabus Policy The instructor reserves the right to adjust this syllabus and all of its contents – including but not limited to assignment instructions, due dates, and course materials – as needed. Should the instructor decide to make any changes to the syllabi, these changes will not be made “quietly:” rather, I will announce via Blackboard and LSCPA email that the syllabus has been altered and what about the syllabus has been altered. This semester (Fall 2025), due to changes on LSCPA campus and other factors, as well as the increasing likelihood of tropical cyclones in this part of the world, you should anticipate that minor changes will occur (e.g., office hours might change, classrooms might change, a class session might be cancelled or an activity/assignment rescheduled due to inclement weather, etc.). Student Email Policy It is incumbent upon you as a college student to routinely check your LSCPA email. I would recommend signing in to check it no less than once every twenty-four hours. You will receive communiques from me through the LSCPA email account. As mentioned above, please note that I will not respond to any email sent to me from an account that IS NOT an LSCPA student email account. You MUST use your LSCPA email to communicate with me. Blackboard Message Policy I do not respond to Blackboard messages, as they are a less reliable form of communication (and in frank honesty, I do not always receive them). Do not send me questions via Blackboard: log in to your LSCPA email account and email me directly. Class Recording Policy Unless explicit permission is provided by the instructor, you DO NOT have the right to record class sessions. Exceptions might be made upon request at the discretion of the instructor or in the event that recordings are necessitated by an Accommodations Memorandum. If you record without instructor permission, you will be counted absent for the day and disciplinary actions might be taken. Phone Use During Class Policy Unless you are explicitly authorized by the instructor to take out your phone OR unless you have an Accommodations Memorandum necessitating your use of your phone as a recording device for notetaking purposes, you ARE NOT allowed to ever have your phone out during class. If you do use your phone for any reason during class time without express authorization of the instructor, you will be counted absent for that class period and further disciplinary action might be taken as the case warrants. As well, since you are not allowed to have your phones in class anyways, I will report you to the high school, district, to dual credit and to LSCPA student services. Classroom Etiquette Policy I take the issue of civility seriously and expect everyone in the classroom to behave civilly toward one another. This means firstly that I will not tolerate any form of discriminatory remarks or actions by any student(s) against any other person(s) on the basis of race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, immigration status, ethnicity, descent, religion, or any other factor whatsoever. I don’t care who you are or what your identity is nor do I care what individual or identity you discriminated against, it won’t be tolerated. Secondly, you will be kind and respectful toward your peers during class discussions and lectures: listen when someone else is talking and show others the courtesy that ought to be shown to you. Unless someone is behaving in a discriminatory manner, you have no reason to interrupt your fellow students – regardless of how much you might disagree with their perspectives. Civil disagreement is crucial to a healthy, functioning republic, so my advice when someone says something you disagree with? Deal with it. The world does not consist of clones of you. Thirdly, you will be respectful of the learning environment. Disruptive students – e.g., students who talk on their phones during class or who talk while other students are presenting – will be reprimanded. If circumstances require it, the instructor will request the offending student leave the room, and will mark the offending student absent for that class session. Fourthly, you will be quiet during roll call unless the instructor has called your name. Students talking loudly during roll call to the point that the instructor cannot hear if another student has responded to their name being called will be found in violation of this etiquette policy and might be counted absent themselves. Finally, if there are any acts of violence or threats of violence by any student(s) against any other student(s) or against the instructor, the offending student(s) will be removed both from the classroom and from the course entirely. If a student violates any portion of this etiquette policy, they can be counted absent for the day, regardless of whether they remain in the classroom or not. If a student’s presence is so disruptive that other students cannot complete their tasks, the offending student will be asked to leave the room, or security will escort them out if necessary. If such an incident were to occur on a test day, the offending student would receive an automatic zero for the test without any possibility of retaking it. Pregnant and Parenting Student Policy In accordance with state law, pregnant and students caring for a child of minority age are afforded certain considerations that other students are not. Pregnant or parenting students are allowed up to five excused absences per course per semester, and while they do not have to present college instructors with the same kinds of documentation required of other students, they do need to inform the instructor that they will be absent as a result of an issue related to pregnancy or childcare. Pregnant and parenting students do not need to acquire Accommodations Memoranda from the Office for Disability Services in order to receive these excused absences, although the instructor must be alerted. Additionally, pregnant and parenting students can meet with the instructor to determine the wheres, whens and hows of making up assignments missed due to pregnancy or parenting issues or crises. A Note on Accommodations Memoranda Students who provide the instructor with an Accommodations Memorandum are entitled to work with the instructor so that they can best implement the necessary accommodations within the confines of the course. That said, the instructor is unable to implement any accommodations if an Accommodations Memorandum is not presented to the instructor. federal law requires that students be afforded the same opportunities as all other students unless certain other legally-defined criteria are met. What this means is that I cannot implement accommodations for you unless/until I receive an Accommodations Memorandum. In accordance with other federal legislation meant to protect students and ensure fairness in the classroom, accommodations are not retroactive, so they cannot be instituted until after I receive the Memorandum from you. A Note on Documentation of Medical and Other Crises If you are absent due to a routine doctor’s appointment, that does not constitute a medical crisis in this course and your absence will not be excused. If there is danger to life or limb, that constitutes a medical crisis and the instructor is willing to work with the student to schedule making up any missed work and to excuse the absence, provided documentation of said crisis is provided. Documentation here means that a third party (no, your parents and family members do not count) has written to me that you were in the Emergency Room, that you had to undergo this or that operation, etc., and that you were incapacitated and thus unable to fulfill your obligations as a college student. Of course, students (and to be blunt, especially dual enrollment students) fake doctor’s notes all the time, so a note from a doctor’s office is just not enough. I will be researching the individual who wrote (or “wrote”) your letter and contacting them and their hospital, clinic or practice directly. If you give me a fake doctor’s note, you will not only be counted absent for the relevant class days but will be reported to your high school, to the dual credit department here, and I will write up a student behavior report for the Student Services department here on campus. If another crisis befalls you – e.g., you are involved in an automobile collision on the way to campus – I will similarly need documentation of that incident in order to excuse your absence or allow you to make up missed assignments. Police reports, an officer to contact, and so on will be required, and I will be getting in touch with the relevant authorities before excusing your absence and allowing make up work. If you cannot provide me with documentation of a crisis, then I cannot excuse your absence and cannot allow you to make up any missed assignments. Late Work Policy Excepting students with an Accommodations Memorandum that necessitates different assignment timelines, students faced with a documented and authenticatable medical or other crisis, and students who are pregnant or parenting a child of minority age, assignments are due when they are due, and that is that. If the aforementioned conditions do not apply to you and you have not finished and submitted Journal no. 2 by 11:59 PM on 09/17/25, then you earned a zero for that assignment. Note that this also applies to tests: as a college student, you are expected to keep track of your schedule and to be in class during test days. If you miss a test and the aforementioned conditions do not apply to you, then you’ve earned a zero for that test. Note that if you miss them, you will still have to complete the Journal assignments in order to progress through Blackboard, though, so you’ll still have work to do, although you will still ultimately earn a zero on it. If you Journal work is inappropriate and does not meet the assignment standards, though, it will be sent back to you, and you will have to do it again in order to get past that assignment and onto the rest of Blackboard. Making Up Missed Assignments For the majority of you, this is a nonissue: you do not get to make up missed assignments. If you missed it, you earned a zero, and that is that. If, however, you have a relevant memorandum clause, crisis, or are pregnant or parenting, you might be able to make up missed work. The specifics will be handled on a case-by-case basis, as no two of any of the aforementioned sorts of conditions are ever quite the same, but provided you meet one of the above criteria, the instructor might allow you to make up missed work as befits your particular situation. Extra Credit Policy and Bonus Assignment Policy I will not create bespoke extra credit work for individual students because they did badly earlier in the semester or failed a test. Please do not insult me by asking me to do so. If you send me an email asking me to create extra credit work for you because “you really need to get a higher grade in the course,” you will not receive a response. The answer is no. I have from time to time offered bonus assignments to the entire class. I do this on a discretionary basis, and typically they take the form of offering x bonus points on an upcoming test if such-and-such bonus assignment is done well. I reserve the right to create classwide bonus assignments that are equally available to everyone. Artificial Intelligence Policy AI use is strictly prohibited in this course, and assignments which are made – either wholly or partially – with the use or assistance of AI software will be considered in violation of the college’s Academic Honesty and Integrity policies. This includes but is not limited to Grok, ChatGPT, Grammarly, and any other AI programs. If I suspect AI use in your assignment, you will be required to come meet with me in my office to discuss your assignment with me. Also, on a somewhat separate note, do you really want the soulless large corporations that create these programs and wrangle them to do your thinking for you? Do you really want Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman or some other Silicon Valley techbro to be the one authoring your thoughts? Consider your own personal dignity before using AI. Plagiarism Policy Academic integrity is essential to truly learning any subject or discipline. You are to submit your own work, not the work of peers, friends, or anyone – or anything – else. By cheating, you not only jeopardize your own academic future, you are cheating your future self out of your own education. All research papers will be screened for plagiarism. For a more thorough definition of plagiarism, please refer to the “Academic Policies” section of the Student Handbook. Below are the consequences for acts of plagiarism in this course:
Blackboard Respondus LockDown Monitor Policy In order to complete your Journal assignments and the Syllabus Quiz, you will be required to download and use the Respondus Lockdown browser and to allow the browser access to your webcam and screen. This is done to prevent cheating and to force you to actually do your own work on course assignments. The following stipulations apply to all assignments done with the Respondus Monitor system:
Be sure you are ready before you do your journal work, and be sure that you set aside time when you have access to a device with a camera and microphone. This device should not be an iPad, as the Respondus system will not work with it (and you will thus be unable to do your work on it). You might need to go to the Library or computer lab if you do not have an adequate device at home. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Attendance Policy |
Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the class period. When the instructor calls your name, you will state it clearly and audibly. You will also remain silent while the instructor is calling roll. If you are not present when attendance is called, you will be counted tardy. Additionally:
Absences will ONLY be excused in the event of a documented and authenticatable crisis or school-authorized academic event. Students who are pregnant or parenting a child of minority age are also entitled to five excused absences in accordance with Texas law. Aside from these such instances, though, there are no excused absences. This is college, not high school: even if the high school excuses your absence for a particular day, that does not mean your absence is excused for this course. Unlike the other grading criteria, your attendance points are yours to lose: everyone will begin the semester with a score of “100%” for their Attendance grade. If you are repeatedly absent, leave early, are often late by more than ten minutes or behave in an uncivilized manner, you will lose points. Your Attendance score will be graded according to the table below:
You read that correctly: if you are absent or counted absent eight times, you will fail the entire course, period, no questions asked. Make sure you attend class. |

| Additional Information |
Below is a list of important dates for the Fall 2025 semester. Some of these dates have no direct effect on this course, but might affect your other courses and the flow of college life during the semester.
Offensive Materials This last bit is less a policy per se than it is a disclaimer. We will be studying history in this course, and since we are doing so at a college level, nothing will be censored. In the context of this class, you are considered to be adults and expected to act as mature adults ought to act. That means that you will likely read about, see, discuss, or otherwise encounter materials that you might find shocking, repulsive, offensive or – perhaps the most frightening thing of all – which cause you to take a step back and question your preconceived notions about people, society, yourself and U.S. history. There's really nothing else to say here, other than that you need to be able to confront ideas and facts that might make you uncomfortable both in order to pass this course and in order to be a functioning, mature adult. Be ready to be offended. |
