Who’s the guy with the reedy voice doing voice-over? Not very Lincolnesque, is he?

Kidding aside, that’s so awesome.

Seriously, may I please be a reader for this course.

Nice – I am unfamiliar with the course number system in the UC; is this a first-year/undergrad survey course?
At our campus (and system, for that matter) our 100-level courses are generally very wide-ranging surveys – World History I and II, Western Civ I and II, etc.
US to 1870 and US since 1870 are in the 200-level. The WW II survey is a 300-level; war and conflict generally are 400-level.

This class will be an upper-division course, TF. Which is to say, it’s not an introductory survey. Those courses carry one- or two-digit prefixes in our department: 17a is the first half of the US survey, for example.

Thanks for the response; can I ask what texts/ readings you assign?
Always interesting to compare approaches.
