Learning History Straight from the Source’s Mouth

By Kallie Hagel on Feb. 12, 2025

"This feature from the 2015 "Honors Link magazine" showcases an honors history 202 course that reimagined how students engage with the past. Instead of relying on textbooks and lectures, instructors Thomas and Anne Bahde filled tables with primary sources — original letters, maps and documents — and let students uncover history for themselves. This hands-on approach resonated with both history and non-history majors, bringing historical moments to life and reflecting the HC's dedication to interdisciplinary and experiential learning." — Ava Wittman, HC Student Writer
