Depends on how narrowly the topic guidelines are in line with the assigned books or articles. I've taken history classes where the assignment was mostly dependent on a novel or a memoir we were reading so there was little need to do outside research.

I remember our history teacher was convinced Hitler enstablished the fourth reich.

Got these gems from my 11th grade AP US History teacher

>Abraham Lincoln was an unrepentant racist

I was told to write a paper in a class where we had earlier learned about descartes. We were told to not plagerize ideas and that we had to come up with our own.

>>390875
forgot the other one:

>Stonewall Jackson was a coward who got shot by his own men
>The union army shouldn't be glorified because most of them didn't care about slavery

The French were never racist and marrying outside of your race wasn't seen as a big deal

>>390736
NASA is pretty irrelevant, though.

>Foucault's panopticism is reflected in reality

Suits of armor were so heavy they needed to put on their horses by a crane and if they fell down they'd suffocate

Yeah, the fucking retard administrative head of the Universities' Socialist party who sat in on an Internationalist Marxist course and when a previous member of his party told him why he left, he just outright said no, you're wrong, nobody in the party would ever do that.

>I can see Marxist historians saying that about Aristotle, but Plato
Have you ever fucking read a Marxist historian? The patrician idealism embodied in Plato and Aristotle's works are in no way connected with the proletariat's abolition of the state and capital with armed self-defence.

… you really wasted your degree didn't you?

>>390862
The format of the readings for the class is that we would have a number of very objective accounts of the events being studied (it was sort of a survey of 20th century Slavic Europe), and then a number of more philosophical/opinion-oriented papers that only represented a small range of mostly overlapping narratives and opinions on events of that era. The issue is that it was never really recognized that we were looking at only one very academic, very far left and in some cases somewhat uncommon viewpoint of the history of that time.

We also had to very loudly espouse the viewpoints of the teachers in our papers. I got a slap on the wrist for saying something like "In terms of the letter of the law, male and female workers in Yugoslavia had equal rights," and not adding right afterward a disclaimer that women were discriminated against anyway (even though that was literally the thesis of my paper).

>>390919
Sounds like Foucault gave you a reach around after school and you're forever indebted to him.

Yeah, it isn't like Chris Hill or EP Thompson revolutionised social history. It isn't like the other valid option is the Annales. It isn't like EH Carr wrote "What is History?"

Nah… you would have "wasted" your degree by reading the seminal texts that informed all contemporary methodology and which would have allowed you to distinguish Perry Anderson's schematisicm from Hayden White's idealist bullcrap. What a waste that would have been.

>may not be anywhere close to Marxist but he's closer than
Re-read this until you become aware of the contradiction of approaching an unapproachable limit.

Yes, precisely. There is no way in which Hobbes is "more" of an anarchist than Luther.

>>390992
Are you the poster that when asked for recommendations of Marxist historians will always reply "EP Thomspon" like seriously dude get off his dick.

Pre colonial slavery came in several strata. House/estate slaves had it a way less shitty than field slaves, who were better off than the ones in mines and quarries.
Some Hellenic slaves and later Islamic slaves in Egypt and under the Ottomans were much better off than the majority of their country.
Sicinnus is a perfect example.

Colonial slavery was comparatively homogeneous in its shittiness and they were never allowed to rise to high positions as pre-colonial slave, like commanding armies and the like.

Some idiot got mad when the professor said light objects fall as fast as heavy ones, and kept trying to explain how wrong that was, and he ran up to the board and started writing equations (don't remember because I'm not actually sure what they meant) and started rambling about hoe Aristotle's In the Heavens was void and stars burning because of the air proved he was right or something, and everyone laughed at him and the professor told him to shut the fuck up. It was a good day.

A few quotes from my AP Euro teacher:
"The Muslim equivalent of achieving nirvana is crashing into the World Trade Center."
"North Korea is best Korea"
"Today we will be talking about functional regions. It's like that School House Rock song, 'Conjunction junction, what's your function.'"
That class was a joke and that man was a fucking goldmine for stupid shit to say, with none of it ever being ironic.

2 weeks ago, I literally had a 5 minute conversation with a food truck worker over how annoying some Baptist waving a sign and speaking into a bullhorn preaching how Evolution was a lie, Obama is a Muslim, and the world is going to hell soon, was being. The same group did that a month earlier. Occasionally a group called Jews for Jesus would pass out bibles and pamphlets to students on the way to class (not aggressively though) and I've been approached by a few Baptist missionaries as well. The only time I've ever seen an atheist forcing his opinion on someone was some of them conversing with the loud-mouthed Baptist, and a booth set up at the university club fair that required you to go up and imitate conversation.

Musicians - Routinely raped by fat lazy turks.

Manual labour - Pulling an oar half the year under brutal conditions, routinely raped, let off the ship forced to build shit in brutal conditions.

Reminder that Hitler could have gone to that art school to become an architect but he was too much of a pussy to go back to secondary school

>In his first examination, he had passed the preliminary portion; which was to draw two of the assigned iconic or biblical scenes, in two sessions of three hours each. The second portion was to provide a previously prepared portfolio for the examiners. It was noted that Hitler’s works contained “too few heads”.[6] The institute considered that he had more talent in architecture than in painting. One of the instructors, sympathetic to his situation and believing he had some talent, suggested that he apply to the academy's School of Architecture. However, that would have required returning to secondary school from which he had dropped out and which he was unwilling to do.

>>393601
It was an optional course, I took it because I had nothing else remotely interesting to take. Pretty good choice actually, because we did nothing but watch Hollywood movies about the Holocaust and then write a one-paragraph response to them afterwards.

I remember that she also restricted the class to only juniors and seniors, because sophomores and freshmen would be too young to experience "the graphic nature of the Holocaust"

They gave him a chance to improve. It was "come back next year." Hitler did, after doing zero practice.

Islamic Slavery was better then Western slavery

In fifth grade, my teacher believed every time someone flashed a light, a polar bear died somewhere on the planet, due to global warming.

In highschool, we had this optional religion class where the teacher was basically a lady with a masters in theology who had to teach us about most major religions; she gave a few classes on Christianity which were spot on, then, instead of spouting shit she didn't know, just played us a few movies; she played one about 9/11 to cover the topic of Islam, then a documentary on Manson to cover New Age shit, then The Last Sammurai for all things eastern.

In college, I've had my share of retarded shit; "literary language" teacher explaining how Homer invented rhymes, some others spouting retarded shit about Middle Age French poetry, and this one teacher with a moon tattooed on her forehead, which was teaching a "Communication" class; she made us leave the college and stand in the grass in a huge circle, then hold each other's hands, saying she was teaching us how to properly communicate from soul to soul; I dropped out of her class at that point and came back to watch them with a few friends from afar; they were literally walking around in circles while speaking in tongues (her instructions), then talking to random people about their lives. Fuck liberals.

I also had this actually good philosophy teacher in college who had like ~17 children and told the ladies in the classroom to just drop out of college already and create families, while making long maieutic-like speeches about the inferiority of homosexuals. He actually knew his shit and offered some of the most interesting readings of Plato I've come across. He read all of Greek philosophy as leading to Augustine and being already Christian, though.

What this kind of thing misses is that both PhDs and departmental job postings for teaching or research faculty are hyper specialized. A PhD in History sounds generic until you realize the dissertation and major concentration are meant to shape a historian into someone ultra specialized in one small area and only a few research universities are hiring in that specific area at any time. If your specialty is 20th century Military Administration in Sub-Saharan Africa you're not going to be able to get a teaching job in Critical Theory of 19th Century Indigenous Latin American Culture Studies.

There's actually much more stress than you'd think for an academic department in hiring new faculty. They're beholden to donors, grants, their own academic strengths and weaknesses, the geographic availability of certain research fields or related centers/institutes/museums. Other departments want to bulk up in one research/teaching area and see others as cursory, others are trying to fill quotas of faculty for their preferred theoretical school, and others want to homogenize their department across one theoretical or subject area.

This. Not everyone plays video games. A huge portion of the world, including the English speaking world, doesn't play video games and couldn't tell you the difference between a Super Nintendo and a PS4, much less tell you the names of any famous video game characters.

For the Adelaide lads, how good is history there? I was at Adelaide for a year doing undergrad BSc before I figured out that geology was what I wanted to do and transferred to UTas. In the sciences at least it seemed that the quality of teaching didn't match with all of the back patting that students gave themselves for attending the uni.

The Congolese eat pygmies and rape babies because Belgian road networks were set up in an exploitative fashion.

I thought the whole point of going to higher education is to continue what you have already learned. He had skill beyond most people; he should have just gone to Architecture school like he was told and settled for that.

Well, back in my middle school, and in Social Science lesson class, our teacher decided to tell us about a particularly strange event in his youth in Borneo when he was proposed by a Djinn princess to marriage. He was charmed and even become sickly, before his father take him to local spiritual guru to be healed.

It was a spookiest last day of the class ever.

My problems with the history course I took were more related to the lack of things we were taught than stupid things were said.

I fucking hate how public schools have taught civil rights in the USA.
Every year this bullshit
>be in class
>all white classroom except for me, the mexican and two asians
>teacher points out the same "whites only" and "colored" and "no blacks" signs
>exclusive emphasis on blacks
>ask about treatment of other ethnic groups/races
>never get answers
One teacher even said "Well lots of hispanic people are practically white."
>as a child, my dad moved to Mexico during the civil rights movement to avoid being treated like shit by Americans
>come high school google becomes a thing
>find out about George Takei growing up in a Japanese Internment camp
>find out about Operation Wetback

I've heard a variation of this, with the extra idea that because uni + art school @ at the time had Jewish admin that was why Hitler became genocidal against Jewish Germans

I am uncertain whether it was intended that way, but there is a reason why it's often linked to the problem of universals. It perfectly illustrates what happens if words and categories are taken as absolute truths by someone. And Catholics were pretty keen on the whole 'categories being sewn into Creation by God' business.

In contrast, my AP US history teacher taught us to analyze primary and secondary sources for bias, along with textbooks and even his own lectures, since he admitted he had a liberal bias himself. Not a stupid liberal bias though. In fact, the examples he used to teach us what is usually evidence were excerpts from Howard Zinn's trash-tier history book A People's History of the United States, which is pretty much openly biased in favor of socialism.

If you're applying for a job teaching junior college, tech school, or advanced diploma students, your specialty doesn't matter but you can teach all of these with a general subject area Master's.

Large research universities on the other hand will expect you to have a Phd built around a specialty that you research + teach grad students and advanced undergrads while teaching 1 or 2 entry level classes to freshmen.

>tfw American instructors would come up to Canada from the States, and assume that our race relations are the same

On three different occasions I had instructors who insisted on viewing things from an "African American" perspective, even though the content had nothing specifically to do with American blacks and the minority audiences were largely ethnically East Asian, South Asian, and Hispanic.
