The Course
History 101, "The Global Origins of the Modern World" is a general education course. The course is one of two world history courses in the general education program. All students are reequired to take at least one of the world history courses. The required course is usually taken during the student's freshman year. All history department members teach at least one of the world history offerings.
The course in which the lesson study will be conducted is emphasizing the theme of "human rights." One of the proposed outcomes of the course is that students will learn that human rights "are part of older traditions."
This approach to world history is the result of a departmental revision to the world history curriculum. Faculty can now teach world history through an individualized thematic approach.
