This course will include lecture and discussion. The lectures will cover all of the required materials. There will, however, always be time set aside for discussion, the free and lively interchange of facts, ideas, and opinions.
Good discussion is based partially on knowledge of the facts.
You must know the basic facts of this course to do well. The quality of the discussion is based largely on your willingness to participate. Honesty is the expected standard. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The reality of History becomes a lie.
