The History Department of the College of Staten Island CUNY invites applications from qualified adjuncts to teach the following four undergraduate course sections at its Willowbrook Campus in the fall 2017 semester (fall 2017 semester begins August 25, 2017).

 

HST 260, U.S. HISTORY: FIRST ENCOUNTERS TO THE PRESENT (4 hours, 4 credits)

Course meets Monday/Wednesday 10:10-12:05 pm (first class meeting Monday, August 28, 2017).

Adjunct would be expected to use a required syllabus and suggested readings, teaching one of a number of sections of the same course.

Abbreviated Course Description: A one semester survey of United States History. While designed to contribute to the liberal arts general education of CSI students and to the training of history majors, the course will be especially valuable to students intending careers as elementary and middle school social studies teachers, since it is based on the content and skills required of elementary and middle school social studies teachers in New York City and State.

Course meets Tuesday/Thursday, 4:40-6:20 pm (first class meeting Tuesday, August 29, 2017).

The course will focus on the prevailing colonial influences on modern institutions; Cuba, Venezuela, and Brazil as developmental models; and on United States-Latin American relations.

Section 12180, course meets Mondays: 4:40-6:20 pm, and Wednesdays: 4:40-5:30 pm (first class meeting Monday August 28, 2017).
