History asks "How did things get to be this way?” Through historical research, students will recognise complicated events and explore the causes that led to it as well as the consequences. At the same time, students will recognise that there is far more opinions of the past that meet the eye. This allows students to study different historiographical opinions of events and develop skills to make their own informed judgement. All of these skills are covered in the course as well as an analysis of sources. From these sources, students will question the usefulness of the source alongside their own knowledge. Ultimately, students will become clear thinkers, great writers, articulate speakers and possess the ability to analyse and explain problems.
