You will find in my classes the grading evaluations are quite liberal. I encourage class participation and discussion. From discussion springs a widening of intellect and knowledge. As we learn our History, we hopefully learn from our History.

Signing up for History of the Ancient World, please!

Oh. Right. May I request permission to leave early on Thursdays to make it to Advanced Negotiations at 3 PM?

You may. I would remind you of class participation being vital...

This humble one would like to sign up for East Asian History, that I most certainly would.

Sir, is there any chance you do correspondence or something like that? I am really interested in East Asian History, but there would be a scheduling conflict in a major way.

Let's meet and talk. I'm sure something can be arranged.

World History please

Can I join World History too?

World History, please, if it's still available? I'm really very good in that subject.

i would like to join Intro to World History...but it overlaps with my Asian Languages class by half an hour... would it be acceptable for me to duck out early so long as assignments are completed?

Acceptable, simply remember class participation.

Ooo, East Asian History sounds like it could be really cool.

I think I should probably take some sort of history course, given that I know nothing about this world and should probably learn something, but the only thing available in my schedule is East Asian History.

*shrug*

Why not? Sign me up, please.
