    GER 0102 - BEGINNING GERMAN 2


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    This is an elementary language acquisition course and aims to teach students how to carry out various functions likely to be necessary in dealing with others in the target language. The course aims to develop all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and deals with culture as an integral part of each skill. The language acquisition exercises are supplemented by an integrated and systematic presentation of grammar. German 0102 is a pilot course to test a model of introductory German with three contact hours per week. The goal is for students to achieve the same proficiency level as those that take a course that meets five times a week. To that end, the pilot course will entail more extensive use of electronic resources and independent study.

    HIST 0103 - EUROPE IN THE 18TH CENTURY


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. There was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face on the throne of England; there was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of state, preservers of loaves, and fishes that things in general were settled forever. This course surveys the political, economic, social, and cultural history of Europe in the eighteenth century. Focusing on the major transformations of European society from the Age of Absolutism through the Age of Enlightenment to the Age of Revolution, the course explores local and interconnected histories of Britain, France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Austria, and the Dutch Republic. The course engages five major themes: ‘Power, Politics, and Warfare’, ‘Social, Demographic, and Economic Change’, ‘Culture, Religion, and the Public Sphere’, ‘European Expansion Overseas’, and ‘Revolutionary Europe.’ Readings include primary and secondary sources. The course is open to students of all levels.

    HIST 0202 - WORLD WAR I


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    The 1918 Armistice which ended World War I failed to give concrete victory to either side. The treaty of Versailles not only failed to resolve the issues, but proceeded to compound the problem by adding new injustices to old ones. The “twenty-year truce” between the wars is usually studied in an attempt to understand the rise of Hitler, Hitler’s redress of the Versailles treaty, and all that followed. It is imperative to understand the causes which enveloped the world in the first World War, the course of the war and all developments which led to that infamous treaty. This course will endeavor to expose all these issues for a better understanding of the First World War and all that followed.

    WWI and WWII are increasingly being viewed as one conflict interrupted by a twenty year truce. The view by many is that the issues of 1914 were never fully resolved by the war and further complicated by the 1919 settlement. The shortcomings of 1919 grew increasingly obvious as the 1920s and 1930s progressed. Events seemed to draw the world inextricably toward Sept 1, 1939. WWII is discussed in the global context in which it was fought but concentrates on the European theater. The course ends with Potsdam 1945.
