World Civilizations Syllabus!

Hi everyone!
I'm Professor Williams, and this is World Civilizations class! If you really like ancient history, then this is the class for you. We'll touch on fascinating civilizations such as:

• Central/South American civilizations: Aztecs, Mayans, Incas
  
• European civilizations: Ancient Greeks, Ancient Romans
  
• Middle Eastern civilization: Sumerians

We will not be covering Egypt, as there is a separate Egyptian studies class.

We'll talk about how these civilizations operated from day-to-day, touch on mythology, and eventually talk about their downfalls. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. (Kudos to those of you that got that reference.)

Quick Rules:

1. I do not accept late homework, unless you have a valid reason for not doing it or missing class.
   
2. Interruptions/side conversations will not be tolerated, as they distract other students from learning the material.
   
3. You may eat a small snack in class, but only if it doesn't distract other students.
   
4. Be respectful of me and other students.
   
5. I use the baseball rule: three strikes and you're out (for the day). It will be your responsibility to make up any notes/homework you miss out on due to your dismissal from class.

I like to make lectures fun, so the material isn't drier than saltines.
I can't wait to get to know all of you!
