Courses
The Making of the Modern World is a six- course sequence required of
all Eleanor Roosevelt College students. It is designed to encourage
them to think historically, comparatively, and in an interdisciplinary
manner about world cultures. Disciplinary perspectives include literature,
history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, political science, and
fine arts. Students will examine and interpret primary documents and
artifacts from diverse eras and cultures, as well as learn about them
from secondary sources. All six quarters of the sequence will include
lectures, discussions, and writing assignments. Courses in the sequence
may be taken for a letter grade only.
Students in the Making of the Modern World 2 and 3 (offered in winter
and spring quarters respectively) fulfill their University of California
composition requirement by receiving intensive instruction in university-level
writing. Subject matter for writing instruction is drawn from or related
to course material. Instruction in writing is provided in discussion
sessions, which meet twice each week. Each of these two writing-intensive
quarters carries six units of credit. Students must have satisfied
the universitys Entry Level Writing requirement in English composition
before enrolling in the Making of the Modern World 2 or 3.
