Review:

I'm beginning my third seminar (out of 6).  The program has signicant writing requirements, and weekely participation requirements.  You will find yourself challenged and wanting to put in the effort.  Norwich's teachers seem to be tuned in to online learning and so far have been helpful. You will interact with them a great deal in discussions and by email.  They call you at the beginning of the seminar to say hello and get to know you.  Frankly, although the school makes them do this, it is a nice touch to have the professor's actually show an interest in getting to know their students. 

This is a structured program, and there are no real electives as each seminar is provided to you in full.  The long paper that we've had for each of the first two seminars has been student's choice, and I expect that to continue.   

This isn't just about battles and leaders.  It is a broader course discussing the use of history, the study of history, and critical thought.  

The support people at the school have been very responsive and friendly.
