Libraries:Another on-campus resource is the Cal
Poly Pomona library. It houses a large collection of books, magazines,
journals, newspapers, videos etc. that can help you better understand
the issues discussed in class. Take advantage of these resources and
the assistance of the reference librarians. Through our library, you
can also access the catalogs of several other Southland libraries. Another
worthwhile link to check is the Library
of Congress.
|
Internet:The Internet is a tremendous resource at our fingertips--and only
a click away! Using any of the search
engines, you can type in a key word and find a wealth of information.
It might be worth your while to use the advanced searches to limit the
amount of material. And you need to be careful! As with any text, you
need to read this information critically and with care. You can also
check the History
Department links to some U.S. history resources on the web. And
if you go to the class schedule pages, you can find links to sites relevant
to the topics discussed in class.

How to Study for This Class:Learning how to learn is part of your college experience. Proper study skills and time management are essential to your success in higher education. If you expect to receive an A in a history class, it is not enough to read your text the night before the exam. Instead, you need to keep up with the readings and assignments on a daily basis. Seems like an overwhelming task? The Internet again offers resources that can help you develop proper study habits. The University of St.Thomas Study Guides and Strategies website offers easily accessible advice on study skills, time management, writing assignments, and classroom participation. |

Cal Poly Pomona Resources:Cal Poly Pomona offers a variety of services
for students to help them succeed. Check out the programs at the Learning
Resource Center and the University
Writing Center! You might also find invaluable assistance with the
various student organizations on campus. The Disabled
Student Services offers notetaking, tutoring, exam facilitation
and other services for disabled students.
|
Your Fellow Students:One of the greatest rewards of a university education are the interactions
with your fellow students. Use each other as a resource! Studying with
a group of people provides a great opportunity for discussion and exchange
of opinions that is helpful in understanding the complexities of history.
