This was a great opportunity to revisit America's founding documents with some fresh eyes. Looking at those documents both as a student and as a teacher has given me some new ideas to implement in the upcoming school years. I also really enjoyed the opportunity to read both American Scripture and The Words We Live By. I feel that this class will benefit future classes of students until my eventual retirement.

Dr. Carden is an excellent instructor who always chooses interesting and engaging material. The books assigned particular are thought provoking and force me to look at the subject in a new way. I highly recommend this course to my fellow colleagues.

I really loved the in-depth look into our founding documents. It has helped me understand them better, and hopefully in turn be able to improve my ability to teach these subjects.

The course was very informative and provided me insight into the history and beginnings of our government, and how the founding documents are still relevant after all these years to the US and other countries who borrowed from our principle beliefs.

Great course. The only thing it needs are more PPT options for assignments. PPT presentations or Google Slides I create for graduate courses are easily adapted for use in my classroom.

This course was a significant amount of work, but Professor Carden provided quick responses when I had questions. I also enjoyed having options for some of the assignments instead of writing a paper for each course requirement.

Good course that makes efforts to distribute knowledge about three of the main founding documents--Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the US Constitution. I had a good experience that I will be able to apply in my classroom.

This SOC 957 America's Founding Documents course was incredibly informative, beneficial, and enjoyable from start to finish. This course helped to educate and enlighten me on so many topics around the most important figures and documents in our nation's history, and I would definitely recommend to any Social Studies teacher.

This course provided excellent background knowledge on the founding fathers and not only what the laws were but also why they were included. It also provides excellent examples of the challanges the Constitution dealt with over the years as the culture of America evolved
