This course is a survey of the development of the Western World from Medieval Europe to the European Renaissance and Reformation (400 B.C.E.-1600 C.E.)through looking at the dominant artistic, religious, political and philosophical movements during this period.
This will include the development of Christianity and Buddhism, the Medieval Era, the European Renaissance and the Reformation.

If you are interested in art, philosophy, religion and/or politics, this class will provide you with a greater understanding of how we have come to be where we are today.
Finally, though this is an online course, we will be utilizing a variety of methods of interaction in order to reinforce learning and prevent stagnation. The point of these varied activities is to maintain a lively and interactive atmosphere with the advantage of being able to complete many of the assignments at your own pace. |
