ROBERT HOPKINS ALLISON JACKSON HERBERT JENSON JOHN KOCH ,. 4. if Q JACQUELYN KYLE SONIA MAHLER SABBOTT ORRICO JAMES SOCHAN 1- Power to the peoplel History Department Challenges Students A continual emphasis on student involvement was a way to achieve the History Department's goal of enabling students to become intelligent, thinking individuals. This approach was based on the assumption that the best way to learn is by direct experience. To be prepared for a future position in our society, the students must be presented with opportunities to assess themselves and their world and to develop qualities of self-reliance and critical perception. These aims were ambitious, but were beginning to be realized this year. Students were given the opportunity to teach classes and related their opinions based on substantial evidence. There was an increased use of independent study assignments and video tapes which gave the students a chance to work on their own, at their own rate and in the field which interested them most. A good background in methods such as these will encourage students to continue their efforts in independent inquiry when they take their places in society.
