Welcome to Strayer class of 2018. Studying is "merely" the manipulation of data. Arrange, and rearrange, write it out and chart it out, think about it and talk about it. The more you do of that, the more you'll understand, and then therefore be able to analyze and synthesize the content. (The translates in to getting a good grade on the test.)

One more piece of advice about boredom, the more interested you make yourself become about a topic, the more interesting the topic becomes. Control your own mind!

Class forum anyone? Well, remember, it's just
one test this week on Tues/Wed; and it's a 
"hybrid" test, multiple choice and margin questions.

Here you go for those four people who have figured out my assertion that this helps, and for the six of you who actually think I know what I'm doing  and read on the weekend. I'll check in occasionally today.

Here for those who want it...
In this chapter, you should focus on how Strayer presents three main ideas.
1. A refocusing of racism in the 19th century West.
2. The variable impact of Industrialization on Asian empires.
3. The reasons for the collapse of the previously vibrant Ottoman and Chinese empires.
4. The reasons for Japan's rise to its position as an industrial superpower, and to compare Japan's experience with that of China.
Happy hunting!

An open letter from the Strayer Blog:
Miss me? I just want you to know that I've slaved away, week after week, trying to help you with the Strayer tests in Mr. Bingham's class. But did you appreciate me? Did you bother to visit? God forbid you should post a comment here! So, I took some time off, let's just say I don't remember much and I don't want to talk about it. I'm back if you really want me. If not, I'm thinking of spending a little time Vegas.
Sincerely,
Your Lonely Friend

Silver, Fur & Slaves: Strayer 15

Wondering if I was here? Well yes. I am. So get to work! I'll tell you right now, every version of this test is a @#&*!

So anyway, this chapter contain two absolutely-you-will-see-this-on-the-exam items, the silver trade and it's impact, and the Atlantic slave trade (slavery part deux, the racist kind).

Hopefully you'll see quickly that this is an economically themed chapter. Remember, it's all about the booty! Yes, of course, slavery is a social issue with repercussions in our own times, but the causation, the motive, is economic.

I'll answer some BPQs, but I'd really like to see more of you take advantage of this thrilling opportunity to interact with me and your fellow Whappers out side of class.

Political & Economic Structures in the Early Modern Era, Strayer 14

21/11/2014

Okay folks, you have nine days to tackle your first non-curved test. Here we begin a real acceleration of the data we need to deal with as the Columbian Exchange, the revitalization of Islam through the Turks, and Russian expansion into Siberia turn up the pace of change. This is not a thematic chapter. A good approach to digesting these societies is to create a SPICE chart for each, then load up with details/evidence.

I'd wish you luck, but luck has nothing to do with this!
