I have scrambled all week getting ready to take a Module test for this class. Keeping up with the homework for the next module [...]

Shakespeare’s Histories Research Paper
January 28, 2010 — RedfokkerMy “fun” class this Winter term is ENG 202 “Middle Shakespeare”. It is not officially a history class, but my instructor, Peter Jensen is one of the most interesting I have had. His lectures are peppered with historical tidbits that get my History Geek juices flowing. I have researched more about Elizabethan England over the [...]
Journal of Military History
January 21, 2010 — RedfokkerAgain, I have gone too long without posting. I’ll have to make a strict goal about this… One of the premier Christmas gifts from my wonderful wife this year was a membership in the Society for Military History. Another professional historian association directly related to my area of study. They publish a journal . It [...]

Nontraditional Student Phenomenon – My Research Paper
January 7, 2010 — RedfokkerOne of the major things I neglected with this blog at the end of last term was to post a link to my WR123 Research Writing class project.

Non Trad Teaching Non Trads
October 29, 2009 — RedfokkerOne of my favorite and most useful classes this term is Research Writing WR123. Not only will this class serve me well for the rest of my college career, but my instructor is a fellow Non Traditional Student (well, ex-non trad, I guess…) We have been discussing my topic for my term long research paper [...]
Stop and Smell the Tudor Rose…
October 17, 2009 — RedfokkerHistory, history, history. It seems that I have tended to point all of my latest assigned papers toward my love of all things historical. Being a Non Traditional Student majoring in History, it just seems natural to me. I will be spending the better part of this weekend writing a paper for my ENG 201 [...]
Non Trad Students Unite!
October 11, 2009 — RedfokkerNon Traditional College Students are a unique bunch. There are more and more of us at colleges all around the USA. What I find troubling is that the great resource sites on the Internet are not reaching the majority of the Non Trads out there. I am tuned into this niche on the WWW and [...]
