    COURSE OUTLINE

    COURSE TITLE: Readings in Philippine History

    COURSE DESCRIPTION: This new General Education (GE) course for learning Philippine history emphasizes the
    importance of studying history from primary sources. The students will be exposed to sources from eyewitnesses or those
    who have a direct participation to the historical event under study. A scholarly reading of primary sources will be
    guided by critique, i.e., external and internal criticism. Debates on historical events will also be covered in this course
    to show the difficulties of dealing with primary sources and their interpretations. Issues that have a widespread impact
    to Philippine society will also be discussed in the special topics and mandated topics (Agrarian reform, the progression
    of the Philippine constitutions, and Taxation). Finally, the course will allow the students to creatively explore the writing
    of local or oral history.
