History course

History course objectives: 

• Periodization: how change occurs over time and how events create historical causation.
• Geography: how societies are influenced by their geographical location, natural resources, and physical relationship to other parts of the world
• Ideas: how philosophical, political, scientific and religious ideas have influenced the past.
• Diversity: how race, gender, class, ethnicity, and religion create “histories” rather than a monolithic past.
• Factual: how people, places, spatial relationships, and events create historical change.
