历史 & 人文系

The 历史 Department at Knox strives to teach students to “think like a historian.” The development of historical thinking skills aids students in their understanding of primary and secondary source research and encourages them to think independently and critically. The 历史 department achieves this goal through critical analysis of sources, 学生讨论, 以及写作的发展. The 历史 department also works to create 21st Century learners by encouraging a collaborative environment amongst students and allowing students choice in creatively expressing their knowledge.
