Homework

Selections from each unit of Laseter, approximately 15 pages, per week, of reading

NOTE: High School students taking this class will have higher reading loads.

Writing is an integral part of demonstrating both the assimilation of knowledge and the articulation thereof. Therefore, students will be guided through the process of writing a short (1- to 2-page, double-spaced) review of a book of their choice relevant to the subject matter.

NOTE: High School students taking this class must instead write a 3- to a 5-page book report.

NOTE: Parents may contact the professor to excuse their students from the written assignments.

Weekly, optional review quizzes based on classroom lectures and discussions. Worth bonus points.

Christopher Martin teaches history and theology. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor of History at both Southern New Hampshire University and Antelope Valley College. He holds BA degrees in History and Theology from Christendom College (2007); an MA in History from National University (2012); and a Ph.D. in History from CGU (2018). He has been with Homeschool Connections since 2017, and teaching since 2012. He lives in California, with his wife and three sons. Together, they love to hike and travel.

Dr. Martin believes strongly that history is far more important than we typically assume, and also that it is a lot more entertaining. His classes are therefore both serious, and fun, making sure to cover the essential developments of past events, but also, coloring and animating the past with stories and anecdotes that make them come alive.
