I want to eventually go to gradu­

ate school and possibly teach college-level history. The his­

tory seminar class is designed to prepare a person for the

major fields test as well as for graduate school. Although

we don’t meet as a class regularly, we meet with Dr. Wiggins

to discuss our research papers. The course structure is in­

tended to be similar to a graduate course in that the major­

ity of your grade comes from a single research paper.”
