Course Description: This course surveys ethnic groups in America from pre-contact to the present,
including Native Americans, European Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos,
emphasizing the forces prompting emigration and immigration, their roles in shaping American society
and culture, their reception by and adaptation to American society, as well as an examination of
contending theoretical models of the immigrant experience in America.
Course Mode of Operation:
Our course is completely remote, and flexible. Short framing lectures are recorded and made available
via Canvas. Students should watch the lectures before doing the each set’s readings, as they will
provide context. The lectures can be found under the “Pages” tab on the course website. On Tuesdays
at 4:00pm, I am available on Zoom for enhanced discussions. These discussions are not mandatory.
Students will submit all their work using Canvas.

Other Required Course Readings: There are numerous primary source documents that are found on
the course website on Canvas. Please consult the second half of syllabus for the list of weekly readings.
Note that there are also numerous videos that you must watch.
Big Questions:
Over time we will track the following questions: What is an American? Who is American? Who is an
“other”? Why are some considered Americans and “others” not? How do “others” become Americans?
How have “others” resisted their otherizaton?
Student Learning Outcomes (Things you will learn/things you will have to demonstrate):
1. Mastery of Basic Historical Knowledge: You will demonstrate factual and chronologically accurate
knowledge of key events, issues, trends, and people that are connected to the ethno-racial history of
the United States. This SLO is measured using a combination of assessments, including: class
discussions, multiple-choice questions, identification questions, and essays.
1. Develop Analytical Skills: You will demonstrate the ability to interpret historical information by
applying analytical skills used by historians—such as synthesizing evidence from both primary and
secondary sources, comparing and contrasting multiple perspectives, contextualizing information,
and/or identifying causes and effects of change and continuity—to the course content. This SLO is
measured using a combination of assessments, including: class discussions, primary source and
secondary source assignments, essays and a presentation.
1. Connect Past to Present and Future: You will appraise the value of historical knowledge for
understanding more recent and/or comparable racial/ethnic issues, events, and trends. This SLO is
measured using a combination of assessments, including: class discussions, essays and a
presentation.

Grade Dispute Policy:
If you have a question or concern about a grade you received on a test or paper, I ask that you run
through the following steps:
1. Take 24 hours to read and absorb my comments.
2. After 24 hours, email me a detailed summary of your concerns (including specific questions).
3. Come see me (with test/paper in hand) during my office hours.
4. If you have a major concern, I’ll re-grade the test or paper. It should be noted, however, that if I regrade the paper/test I am truly re-grading it. In this scenario, I reserve the right to not only give the
paper/test a higher grade, but also, a lower grade if warranted. Put another way, if you ask for a regrade, it is conceivable that your grade could lower.
5. If you are still not satisfied after a re-grade, go to http://www2.smc.edu/catalog/2012-2013/031_1213_catalog.htm (http://www2.smc.edu/catalog/2012-2013/031_12-13_catalog.htm) to learn your rights.

OTHER GUIDELINES/RESOURCES:
PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism—the use of another’s ideas, words or entire papers as if they were YOUR
own—is a serious offense. You must write your own paper. An essay that is plagiarized will receive an
F and be reported to the chair of the English department for disciplinary action. If you borrow the ideas or
the words of critics, you must express their ideas in language that is thoroughly your own and
acknowledge the borrowing through documentation of the source: via in-text citations (MLA). We will
examine the proper MLA procedures for citing quoted material and creating a Works Cited page
throughout the semester.
