SYLLABUS

MAJOR UNITS

Part II: 19th-Century Revolutions of Modernization

This syllabus is interactive. Syllabus topics, numbered consecutively and listed under the major units on the right, are linked to online notes and various activities for class meetings and virtual sessions. It is your responsibility to read the assigned textbook [TB] sections and sourcebook [SB] documents listed in the syllabus for these topics. The online notes are interactive. That means there are tasks you are asked to do as you work through the notes and a pop quiz to test your understanding and progress. Make regular use of the learning aids found on the textbook website and listed in the notes for each topic.

In addition to the sourcebook, make a practice of using the rich collection of online primary sources in Paul Halsall's Internet Modern History Sourcebook
