Final Project Reminder
BLOCK CLASS... Given your class vote and decision to do a final project instead of a final exam, remember that your final projects MUST be submitted by 2:30 this afternoon or they will be considered late and will get a 0. The end of the quarter is at the end of the day today. Looking forward to seeing your projects and hope you enjoyed the quarter. Thank you for all of your hardwork. Good luck in your courses for the rest of the year and I hope to have you in class again sometime in the future.
History Quotes
We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
-Gerda Lerner
History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.
-Henry Steele Commager
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
-Robert F. Kennedy
