As background for a directed studies course, I am trying to gain an idea of how many people taking their first museum studies course (Introduction to Museum Studies or the equivalent) have prior know of how historic sites and/or museums operate. That is, how many have any experience beyond family visits or school tours to historic sites and museums. I am interested in perceptions of both those teaching such courses and those taking them.
