Course description: This course will survey the history of the world from the beginnings of civilization in the Near East to the European encounter with the non-Western world. Topics covered will briefly cover the history of early civilizations in the Near East, China, India, Japan, and sub-Saharan Africa, the classical cultures of Greece and Rome, the world of the Middle Ages, the emergence of European monarchies, and the impact of the Renaissance and the Reformation.

This class is intended to be a brief overview of World History.

Course Prerequisites: None

Grade Evaluation:
• Class participation 50%
• Written assignments 15%
• Exams 35%

Course Text: TBA



Note: This particular class, with its large assemblage, will have more subject matter to cover, so there won’t be the indepth study as are the other two history classes.

For the moment, this is check in to see who’s paying attention, regular classes to start on Monday.

(Latecomers - Sign up still open.)

Charlie slides into his seat with seconds to spare.

Phoebe enters and takes a seat near the middle of the class. She smiles at Charlie and takes out her notebook.

[bloodyrockgod]

He smiles back, drumming his pencil against his notebook.

Lisa strides in, takes a seat at the front of the class, and meticulously arranges her notebook and pens on her desk.

*sits next to her, and arranges his notebook likewise*

Lisa turns to him and smiles slightly, pleased that someone else in class appears to be as dedicated to their studies as she is. She clears her throat and introduces herself quietly.

Hi, I'm Lisa.

*sits in the back where he can watch everything with an enigmatic grin*

*sits in the seat next to him* Hey there, Xelloss. ;P

[absolutesnark]

*sits in the back so she can hide*

[demonbelthazor]

*walks in, notes both Phoebe AND Piper*

*mumbles* This could be interesting....

*walks by Piper, flashes her a smile, then sits in front of her but behind Phoebe*

[absolutesnark]

*notices Belthazor and smiles back*

[demonbelthazor]

*leans back toward Piper*

I gotta leave halfway through class to see Professor Amidala. Can you take notes for me?

[absolutesnark]

Sure! *said entirely too enthusiastically*

[demonbelthazor]

*gives Piper another killer smile*

Thanks. You're a lifesaver. Let me know anytime you need a favor.

[absolutesnark]

*blushes slightly*

No problem. I'm happy to help.

[demonbelthazor]

*at close to 2:00, looks around, then whispers to Piper*

Can you keep a secret?

[absolutesnark]

*peers back*

Um, sure I can.

[demonbelthazor]

*makes sure no one is watching, then winks at Piper and shimmers out of the room*

[absolutesnark]

*blinks*

Wow, that is so cool.

Susan again sits in the rapidly-filling back row, waiting for others to file in. It isn't the best spot*, but it'll do.


*The best spot, being of course, off to the side and out of view of anyone who might try to copy her papers or annoy her with questions like "Which class is this again?". It wouldn't hurt to be near a window, either, to shoo away small pests.**

**And fling larger ones out the window if absolutely necessary.

*back row, taking notes*

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

*sits towards the back, feet up on the desk*

*notices Deirdre taking notes*

Oh, MAN. Did I miss somethin' already?!

[deirdreofamber.livejournal.com]

I just like to take notes, not always on the subject in class. *smiles*

*takes a seat and takes notes*
