Do not be afraid to give your opinion, interpretation, or disagreement. This class should increase your understanding of the past, but also broaden your historical perspective as it relates to contemporary issues and ideas. If you need to speak with me please do not hesitate to make an appointment. I have several office hours scheduled, but if you cannot make these hours please contact me so that we can find a better time to meet. In this class, your silence can prevent your success.
Attendance is mandatory.
You are expected to attend all lectures. If, however, you miss a class it is your responsibility to get lecture notes from another person.
