In the space of eighteen weeks we will cover over four-hundred years of fascinating history. Every class meeting is essential. You must attend class regularly and arrive on time. You are responsible for all material covered, regardless of whether you are present in class or not. There are no make-ups and no extra credit.
Exams begin promptly at the scheduled class time.
Latecomers not only disturb their classmates but risk arriving too late to complete the exam. A schedule of assigned reading in John McKay, et al, A History of Western Society, Volume II, as well as test and assignment-due dates is attached. You need not bring your textbook to class everyday, but because classroom maps are frequently insufficient, you may need the maps that are in the text. Class attendance is mandatory. In the event of excessive absences, the instructor may drop a student from a course or lower a student's grade.
