Computer labs on campus provide free and easy access to students. Student subscriptions to The New York Times are required for this course.
Tests generally consist of identification and essay questions.

Please let me know if you have any problems that affect your work for the course. If an emergency prevents you from taking a test at the scheduled time, you can phone, leave messages at the history department or contact me by E-mail.
