About the Course

This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part One begins with the political and economic revolutions of the late 1700s and tracks the transformation of the world during the 1800s. Part One concludes as these bewildering changes seem to be running beyond the capacity of older institutions to handle them. Throughout the course we try to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? And the answers often turn on very human choices....

I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this course and how valuable I've found it. I'm doing a social sciences degree and this course has helped me contextualise the things I'm studying.

Perhaps the reason why I really like this course is that I am very excited about learning world history. But the course content and the way professor delivers lectures is amazing.

The course structure is unclear, and the concepts are thrown at me. The test questions focus on deep memorization rather than developing historical skills. Additionally, the tests are mostly MCQ, which does not help improve my writing skills. Overall, the course practice memorization instead of developing a comprehensive understanding of the cause and affect of the historical events.
