HIST 2062EX - Trump Unlocked: Modern America

External - Semester 2 - 2018

The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States undoubtedly marked a new departure for the country and the world. How did America get here? After beginning with an investigation of the current situation, the course traces the development of distinct conservative and liberal worldviews, and the Republican and Democratic parties to which they have been attached. Christianity, capitalism, democracy, race, ethnicity, gender, and even music and entertainment all are analysed across the twentieth century for the role they played in creating `two Americas?, each with their own perspective on American life and history. From the Gilded Age, to F. D. Roosevelt, to the Cold War and the sixties, to the 1980s and Ronald Reagan, right through the Obama years, students will study American mentalities and how they developed during the `American Century?. Along the way, students will realise the contested nature of the historical enterprise, and understand that professional historians, and even themselves, are part of the great debate that is American history. We will conclude by considering how the past shapes the present.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
