March 31, 1965 THE CAMPUS ECHO PAGE FIVE History Dept. Sets TV Plans The History Department of North Carolina College will of fer several telecourses in history- next year. Dr. Thorpe, chairman of the History Department says that plans are now being made to teach Social Science 110 and Social Science 120 (Foundation of Western Civilization) by tele vision. Right now, there are only two courses being taught by tele vision, English 110 and English 120 (English Composition). The addition of history will be the second area of study taught on television. Thorpe said that the tele course will most likely be a multiteacher situation in which several areas of history will be taught by individual teachers. He indicated that one teacher would teach Ancient Civiliza tion while another would teach the French Revolution. Department members are now engaged in weekly meetings, but major decisions will be made during the summer. How ever, there is already in pre paration a telecourse study guide for students taking Social Science next year. Thorpe did not indicate who the television teacher would be because of the lack of training history teachers had for this type of work, but he did say that the number of teachers would be no more than five.
