Spring 2006
History 152: World Civilizations II
Instructor: Colette Higgins
 
CLASS SCHEDULE
(Last Updated 1/9/06)
This schedule is tentative, but will be followed as closely as possible. The instructor reserves the right to alter this schedule. If changes are made, students will be informed.
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.

**If I am not in class within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time, then class is considered canceled.**
