Abstract

This essay proposes that history departments rethink and restructure the typical history senior seminar course to reflect better the range of activities and careers that history majors pursue after graduation. That is, this paper proposes the design of a capstone course consisting of a series of activities that reflects better the preparation a baccalaureate degree in history provides and, in addition, allows for formative as well as summative evaluation. This design also would allow students to select their own theme around which to organize their assignments.
