Credit: 0.5 units
Lessons: 10 lessons, 10 submitted
Exams: 2 exams
Grading: Computer and Faculty Evaluated
Prerequisites: None
Description: Students will study European History from the Industial Revolution to the end of the twentieth century. The course introduces students to cultural, economic, political, and social developments that played a fundamental role in shaping the modern world in which they live. Without this knowledge, we would lack the context for understanding the development of contemporary institutions, the role of conflict and continuity in present-day society and politics, and the evolution of current forms of artistic expression and intellectual discourse. Another course goal is for students to understand some of the principal themes in modern European history, to analyze historical evidence, and to express historical understanding in writing. .
The same textbooks are also used for AP European History (Fall Semester).
