HST 197/198 (Johnson): Home
Welcome to HST 197 and 198
The purpose of this guide is to help you find resources for your Comparative Review Essay for Dr. Martin Johnson's HST 197 and HST 198 classes.
If you are struggling to pick a topic, your best bet is to run your ideas by Dr. Johnson after reviewing his advice in the assignment description. If you have picked a topic and are having trouble getting started, please feel free to contact me using the methods listed under my picture below. You can also schedule a Research Consultation for a one on one appointment with me any of the librarians.
