The lectures will offer my own interpretation and understanding of the development of civilizations before1500 and are not meant to cover the same material as is in the text or to serve as an explication of the text. Due to the time available, the lectures cannot be as comprehensive as the text so it is essential that you do all of the readings as we go along. The Global Experience, Vol. 5 Riley, 32-34, 36. All changes will be announced in class as early as possible.
Students are responsible for all changes that are announced.
Absence from class is not an excuse for not knowing about a change in the schedule. There will be three in-class hour examinations and a comprehensive final. Each of the hour exams will have two sections. Each exam will have 20 multiple choice questions based primarily on the Duiker text and an essay question, which will be distributed in advance. The comprehensive final will be multiple choice based on the Common Final Identification List in the Workbook.
