Question 1: Consider the following statement: The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important
factor leading to the settlement of Alaska Native land claims. Is this conclusion consistent with the
evidence presented in this learning block?
No, I do not think it is consistent with the evidence presented in the learning block. The Native's support
was a big turning point for the settlement for Alaskan Native land claims.
Question 2: Consider the following statement: ANCSA was a fair settlement for Alaska Natives. Is this
conclusion consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block?
Yes, I do think it is consistent with the learning block. Financial and economic benefits continue to
provide the Natives with stability.
Question 3: Consider the following statement: ANCSA led to economic benefits for white Alaskans as
well as for Natives. Is this conclusion consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block?
Yes, this is consistent with the learning block. The Alaska fund provides financial economic growth all
parties.
Question 4: For an American Literature course: What skills from this course would you use to develop
a brief essay on the significance of Walt Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," a
poem written in the summer of 1865?
I would read the poem then research Walt Whitman to get a sense of why he wrote the poem.
I would cite the poem when it relates to the argument I am making.
Question 5: For a Sociology course: What skills from this course would you use to produce an
annotated bibliography for your course research project?
I would learn about APA formatting and how to properly write and annotated bibliography. I would
utilize Shapiro library for all my needs.
Question 6: For a Business course: What skills from this course would you use to decide between two
different investment proposals?
I would determine the importance of each proposal through research to see which one to choose. I
would weigh the pros and cons and determine which one I could thoroughly side with, providing
arguments and evidence of my choice.
Question 7: How can history serve as a lens for the rest of the academic program you'll pursue at
SNHU? Has this course changed the way you think about what you want to study? Why or why not?
Please respond to this question in two to three sentences, using proper grammar.
My degree is in Business Administration - Entrepreneurship. While you think that history wouldn't
necessarily correlate with business, it does when you look at far international trade has come, how
finance programs and access to supplies has changed over the years. I haven't changed my thoughts on
my field of study.
Question 8: What did you learn about one of these topics or historical events that was new or
surprising to you? Explain in at least two to three sentences; be sure to use proper grammar.
Women's suffrage and the Nineteenth Amendment. I learned that women have been fighting for rights
for centuries. That most of the women involved volunteered their time towards the cause because
funding was extremely limited.
Question 9: In one paragraph, explain which parts of your historical investigation and analysis were
most interesting to you. Which parts were less interesting? Be sure to use proper grammar.
One part I found interesting was historical complexity. I know that nothing is ever as it seems and there is
always "more to the story", but I didn't realize how much that was. Had to learn about one thing, to
understand fully the next. One thing that wasn't as interesting were the politics I had to investigate. The
choices our government makes baffle my mind. We have come a long way in legislation but where we
came from is an embarrassing place.
