COURSE INTRODUCTION

History is the study of change over time. It covers all aspect of human society. History deals with all
aspects of human past e.g. political, social, economic, scientific, technological, medical, culture,
intellectual, religious, military etc. History involves the analysis and interpretation of the human past
thereby enabling us to study continuity and changes that are taking place over a time. It is an act of
both investigation and imagination that seeks to explain how people changed over time. Historians use
all forms of evidence to examine, interpret, revisit and reinterpret the past. These include not just
written documents, but also oral communication and objects such as buildings, artifacts, photographs
and paintings. Historians are trained in the method of discovering and evaluating these sources and the
challenging task of making historical sense out of them. Historical discourse gives an understanding of
the past which enables us to appreciate our present and shape our future. Besides, history provides
background information for other disciplines of social science and humanities.
