A preliminary short quiz to determine whether you need to explore this Web site:

• Is teaching the history survey easy for you?
• Do the students in your survey seem excited to be there? 
• Do you think being “good at history” starts with knowing information about the past?
• Do you believe that what you have to say on various subjects is so important students should be required to listen to you for several hours a week?
• Do you enjoy reading college level history textbooks?
• Are you confident that what students learn for multiple-choice examinations will be remembered a week after the test?
• Do you believe that if you cover less information in your survey than you do now that the sky will fall, civilizations collapse, and historical ignorance be unleashed upon the earth?      

If you answered “yes” to more than four of these questions, you do not need to explore this Web site.
