| Title | A Documents-based Approach to Asian History |
| Description | An intensive introduction to the methods and practices of history, designed to prepare students for future independent work. The focus is on interpreting primary sources on three topics: 1) Did Marco Polo go to China? 2) Did the Jesuits in China go beyond early European knowledge of Asia? 3) Why did China lose and Japan win the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95? |
| Prerequisites | Priority will be given to sophomores and prospective history concentrators. The class will cap at 20 students. |
