Warning!

failure to do these homework assignments will affect your grade in more ways than one!  Homework is 10% of your grade and the backbone of this history course.  We cannot cover 100+ years of history in class.  What I give to you during class is an overview of what you should be reading at home.  Therefore, parts of your tests and quizzes will cover your homework requirements. Failure to do your homework may lead to poor performance on test, quizzes, etc.  Enough with the negatives, lets look at the bright side.  If you honestly and faithfully do your own homework, you will find the course to be easy and interesting.
