Paragraph correction necessary - about history
Hello,
May I ask someone to give me some suggestions about the following paragraph? What do you think about it?
Even though some of the classes will take the form of lectures, my aim is to provide the course participants with opportunities for discussions out of which complex questions and better understanding of historical discourse might emerge. I do realize that once one enters into the maze of history, its ways might lead to the state of being perplexed and puzzled. Therefore, it is of utmost importance, and one of my priorities, to provide my students with a vivid and interactive explanations of historical intricacies. I do feel passionate about history and (although with great sadness) I understand that not everyone may share equal feelings about studying history, I intend to instill a bit of my passion into my students. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson’s words “[History] may be instilled into their minds.” During the course we will be paying considerable attention to developing students analytic skills and critical thinking. Thus, a large array of primary-sources is implemented in this syllabus as I am convinced that in order to fully comprehend the social, political and economic changes of the American history, the study of primary texts is essential. It is also my wish, to put special emphasis on what I tend to call “connecting the dots strategy.” It is my belief that once provided with the solid understanding of historical contexts, the students will be able to approach a given theme or topic with more confidence and with what is perhaps even more important - a myriad of perspectives.
Thank you

Thanks AS let me just ask some follow-up questions:
1) What's wrong with explanations? is it because of the "a" in the sentence preceding explanations?
"... to provide my students with a vivid and interactive explanations of historical intricacies."
2) In the following sentence, I assume the mistake is the lack of the word but

Perfect Stranger1) What's wrong with explanations? is it because of the "a" in the sentence preceding explanations?Yes. "a" can only modify singular nouns. If you want plural, you have to omit the article, or use "some" or "a few".
