University of Maryland University College
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.
