The UMUC offers college degrees all over the world.I am an adjunct lecturer
in history and government for
the European Division,
which is headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany. Although I have given
classes in the traditional classroom setting (on American military bases
in Ramstein, Sembach, Landstuhl and Stuttgart), I do most of my teaching
now online.
The following course descriptions and contents have been designed
primarily with the online classroom setting in mind, but both the
methodology and the content are similar in the traditional classroom. Nothing here at
hatlie.de is an official UMUC document or policy.
If you click on the course name, you will be taken to a detailed discussion of that course
with information about content, methodology, textbooks, etc.
