History is a struggle of the mind, an adventure.
The objective of this course is to appreciate the importance of history in breadth and depth. Western Civilization, as taught in the Varsity program, is called the Wider West. It is a unique approach to Western Civilization and offers students a broader perspective to the traditional Western Civilization course. It offers you a general frame of reference and should be consulted throughout the semester. Please bear in mind that the lecturer and instructors will work on the assumption that the material to be covered on a given date has been read by the student prior to her or his attendance of the particular lecture or discussion section.
