Course Description: This course is a survey of the major events and themes of the history of Europe since 1815. Through readings in secondary and primary sources, lectures, and discussions, we will examine the significant people, events, and social changes in western civilization in the past 200 years.<\/p>\n
Goals of the Course: In this course, students will gain an understanding of the broad themes in European history over the last two centuries.<\/p>\n
Grading: Participation will be evaluated on three tests and a final exam, and on course participation. Each test counts 20%, the final exam counts 30%, and participation counts 10%.<\/p>\n
Instructional Format: The course will consist largely of lectures, with parts of some days set aside for discussion. Students are expected to read the assigned texts and come prepared to discuss them.<\/p>\n
Absence Policy: Missing more than 3 class sessions will result in an attendance warning and will have a negative effect on your grade.<\/p>\n
