Basic Information

The place to start is your course syllabus! This can always be found in the Canvas shell for your class. If you are having trouble finding it, ask your instructor.

If your section uses an OER textbook, there will either be a link to click on or a PDF will be provided to you. Otherwise, the library has many of the textbooks for 2-hour in-library checkout, and you can purchase copies at the Viking Bookstore. Some textbooks are available for rent or in e-book form through the Viking Bookstore.

Here are the Student Learning Outcomes for your course:

1. Identify and explain the historical significance of key policies, events and outcomes in World history 1500-Present.  
2. Critically evaluate and interpret specific themes such as politics, religion, and economics during revolutions, industrialization and colonization, and wars and decolonization from a global perspective.  

3. Evaluate and design arguments addressing interactions between nations and the consequences of industrialization and colonization schemes on countries and their inhabitants.

 

The library has print books and electronic resources for you to use in any research assignments and to help you understand the course material.
