Most of your readings are from Howard Spodek’s The World’s History and are listed by page numbers. In addition, supplemental documents can be found on your World History Documents CD-Rom.
 
Reading assignments should be completed before class. On those class days when a CD-Rom document has been assigned, please bring a copy of that reading to class.
