The class has two main goals.  One is to provide students with a basic factual knowledge of the origins of the international politics/relations of the modern world.  Just as important, however, is the ability to use this information productively to evaluate, synthesize, or interpret key facts and ideas. The instructor will provide websites for students to read to gather information, and also present factual information in class. Students will learn how to integrate factual data into some basic understanding of how the modern world arose and the world issues which concern policymakers and citizens today.  This class will thus emphasize the development of cognitive skills such as primary source analysis, logical inferences, and map construction and interpretation.
