This article presents information on United States History Survey. Several authors help understand the problems that are faced in teaching and testing surveys. However, their papers also reveal that common understanding does not necessarily lead to uniform remedies. Each of them offers a particular way of tackling the problems of survey teaching; together they offer a range of issues to think about as people debate ways to teach this primal course. A scholar contends that people should adopt the web as organizing framework. The author think that the Web and its notion of interconnected people, events, ideas, and places at a time and over time is quite appealing as an organizing assumption.
