The expected outcome for students at the conclusion of this class will be: 1) the ability to answer questions such as how historians have interpreted the past, and how they investigated "alien" civilizations; 2) the ability to know how and why civilizations developed and changed over time; 3) the ability to know how civilizations interact; and 4) the ability to understand, appreciate, and communicate historical dynamics that students have gleaned from independent exploration and research. Students will be assessed on their ability to write short critical papers, answer essay questions that demonstrate analytical thinking, and on an ability to communicate in a scholarly manner.
