1 From Antiquity to 16th Century Contours of World History 16W:167:001 (HIST:4107:0001) Class Time: 3:30 4:45 Tu Th Professor: Michael Andrew Žmolek Telephone: michael DEO: Stephen Vlastos, History Department Chair Phone: (319) Classroom: 140 Schaeffer Hall (SH) Office: 274 Schaeffer Hall Office Hours: 3:00 4:30 W F (or by appointment) Office: 280 Schaffer Hall The study of World History is an extraordinary journey, one that should elicit fascination and enthusiasm for the subject. While a survey course such as this one encompasses such a vast array of history that it is not possible to become engaged in studying the full complexity of each of the civilizations we shall examine, it is also true that few courses offer the opportunity to think about human history in its broadest totality or to gain a broader perspective on the evolution of early human societies.

2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES In the past, interaction between civilizations was limited by deserts or cut off entirely by oceans. Today, different societies and civilizations are becoming increasingly interconnected through trade and ever improving communications technologies. Thanks to the emergence of the internet over the past two decades, a virtually limitless amount of historical data is available to each of us at the touch of a button. At the same time, the volume of new data from archaeological discovery concerning civilizations that were once obscure to us, such as the Maya or the Indus Valley Civilization, has also vastly increased. Becoming familiar with the contours of world history will provide you with the mental framework for organizing an otherwise overwhelming amount of data about dozens of major civilizations and thousands of smaller societies. As we move through time and space, you are encouraged to think of yourself as an explorer on a project of discovery. Because we will of necessity devote limited time to each society we discuss, this journey may seem like one involving multiple brief stops along the way. This should not deter you from thinking of this as a romantic journey, for if you find that a certain historical people catches your eye and fascinates you, you will have the opportunity to sustain that fascination throughout the course by making your newfound love the topic for your writing projects. As you develop ideas for your essay by exploring one or more specific societies more carefully, you may discover things that you would like to share with others in the classroom, where together, we may be able to put what you have brought to our attention in context by considering the differences and similarities of past societies from one another as well as from the society we live in today. By studying development and interaction between historical civilizations and the very meaning of the concept of civilization, this course will challenge students to develop critical thinking skills in terms of learning how to analyze, interpret and synthesize a variety of often complex data about very different societies, thereby also developing an appreciation for the methods and techniques of historical inquiry. This will include engaging in original texts from different historical societies to interrogate their meaning and articulating the result of these inquiries in written form. Upon completion of this course, you will have developed your own mental framework of the contours of world history and a working familiarity with the social, political, economic, technological, religious and intellectual contributions of most of the world s civilizations and cultures. This means that, going forward, you will be better prepared to make informed inferences and deductions about different societies by referring to their knowledge of world history rather than relying upon supposition. By the end of the course, you should have a general working knowledge of all the early societies and be ready to move on to I, which will deal with societies from the early modern period to the present. 2
3 EVALUATION Classroom Attendance and Participation You are expected to complete the assigned readings prior to arriving in class and be prepared to discuss the content. If given, pop quizzes will count toward your participation score. Your participation in this class by way of questions, comments and shared insights are a vital part of the learning experience. Book Review During the first half of the course, you will be expected to select a book relevant to the course and write a book report of at least three pages. Your textbook includes suggested titles and your instructor will provide additional suggestions. An A book report will be at least 4 pages in length. 3 Hour Essay During the second half of the course, you will produce a short essay on a topic relevant to the course. Students taking 3 credit hours will turn in an essay of at least 4 pages in length. The essay will cite no less than three scholarly sources, either journal articles or books. These three citations must be non internet citations; additional citations of internet sourced material may then be included. An A essay will be at least 5 pages in length. 4 Hour Essay Students taking 4 credit hours will produce an essay at least 7 pages in length with a minimum of 5 non internet citations. An A essay will be at least 8 pages in length. Formatting Written assignments will be typed using 12 point font, double spaced and on plain white 8.5 x 11 paper. Exams The Midterm Exam will cover Parts II IV of the course. The Final Exam will cover Parts V X of the course. Collaboration You are encouraged to collaborate with your fellow students in reviewing the reading material and discussing the course content. Exams and assignments, however, are an evaluation of how well you have comprehended and synthesized the course content as an individual. While you may discuss the essay questions you are given for take home assignments with your colleagues, you are expected to do the writing on written assignments by yourself.

10 POLICIES & PROCEDURES Administrative Home The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the administrative home of this course and governs matters such as the add/drop deadlines, the second grade only option, and other related issues. Different colleges may have different policies. Questions may be addressed to 120 Schaeffer Hall, or see the CLAS Academic Policies Handbook at Electronic Communication University policy specifies that students are responsible for all official correspondences sent to their University of Iowa e mail address (@uiowa.edu). Faculty and students should use this account for correspondences (Operations Manual, III.15.2, k.11). Accommodations for Disabilities A student seeking academic accommodations should first register with Student Disability Services and then meet privately with the course instructor to make particular arrangements. See for more information. Academic Honesty All CLAS students or students taking classes offered by CLAS have, in essence, agreed to the College's Code of Academic Honesty: I pledge to do my own academic work and to excel to the best of my abilities, upholding the IOWA Challenge. I promise not to lie about my academic work, to cheat, or to steal the words or ideas of others; nor will I help fellow students to violate the Code of Academic Honesty. Any student committing academic misconduct is reported to the College and placed on disciplinary probation or may be suspended or expelled (CLAS Academic Policies Handbook). CLAS Final Examination Policies The final examination schedule for each class is announced by the Registrar generally by the tenth day of classes. Final exams are offered only during the official final examination period. No exams of any kind are allowed during the last week of classes. All students should plan on being at the UI through the final examination period. Once the Registrar has announced the date, time, and location of each final exam, the complete schedule will be published on the Registrar's web site and will be shared with instructors and students. It is the student's responsibility to know the date, time, and place of a final exam. 10
11 Making a Suggestion or a Complaint Students with a suggestion or complaint should first visit with the instructor (and the course supervisor), and then with the departmental DEO. Complaints must be made within six months of the incident (CLAS Academic Policies Handbook). Understanding Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and threatens the well being of students, faculty, and staff. All members of the UI community have a responsibility to uphold this mission and to contribute to a safe environment that enhances learning. Incidents of sexual harassment should be reported immediately. See the UI Comprehensive Guide on Sexual Harassment for assistance, definitions, and the full University policy. Reacting Safely to Severe Weather In severe weather, class members should seek appropriate shelter immediately, leaving the classroom if necessary. The class will continue if possible when the event is over. For more information on Hawk Alert and the siren warning system, visit the Department of Public Safety website. Student Resources: The Writing Center: helps all in the University community improve their writing, including attitudes and self confidence about writing. We also assist with reading. The Speaking Center: students/speaking center is available to help students who would like to work on any aspect of oral communication, including: effective classroom participation, delivering oral presentations, speech anxiety and much more. Tutor Iowa: is an excellent resource to find academic assistance and mentoring for your University of Iowa courses. *These CLAS policy and procedural statements have been summarized from the web pages of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and The University of Iowa Operations Manual. 11
