Are you ready? ** This course is both rigorous and rewarding. Students take a global view of historical processes and contacts amongst societies around the world and throughout time. The course requires a serious commitment by the student, which includes reading each day in preparation for activities in class. Participation and motivation are the keys to success!

**__You are expected to read one chapter a week, with quizzes on Mondays and tests on Fridays__. **  Even if we are at a different place in class discussion, students should be prepared for the weekly quizzes and tests. Cornell notes should be handwritten in student notebooks, and students should refer to vocabulary, guided questions, maps and visuals in the text.

Students will be supplied with a book, but having a personal copy is not a bad idea. [|On Amazon in paperback]  - $79.57 Access is also available by purchasing the textbook online through [|Register for Online Text]
