This course enhanced my knowledge on the subject of American history to a greater extent. The historical events, important people and chronological issues of United States were taught in a very interesting manner. The best thing about this course was that it allowed me to dwell on the political issues of our country which shaped some of the most important historical decisions made in our country. Furthermore, another interesting thing about this course was the style in which this course was taught to us; that was so inspiring that I have become particularly interested in American history and politics and have also started to study different books written by renowned authors of this subject. The course can be improved further if visits to historical places are added for the purpose of additional research and study on different aspects of American history.
