How to get an "A"

Despite what you and your parents may think, history is not just about memorization. It is about understanding what brought you here in this time. Life just does not happen in a vacuum or as I prefer to call them, epistemological eruptions! (Come to class to find out what that means! OH YA!!! Extra credit for anyone who brings in the meaning and shares it with the class!) Gaining a full knowledge of this requires a bit of work on both our parts! Here are some suggestions in which to earn yourself an "A"!
