Most students find this chapter very manageable. Much of it is familiar to many, and we tend to know the geography pretty well. On the other hand, the early days of the catholic church, the Eastern orthodox church, the new empires of Byzantium and the Kievian Rus are generally unfamiliar to us. But make no mistake, they are both important in their time, but also in our time.

As Strayer reminded us, look for characteristics of these times, in these places, that might give us clues to the future dominance of the West.

Remember, in this course, hard work pays off in direct results. Let's make this a good one!

Welcome class of 2019. Some years students collaborate in this space effectively, some years not so much. One thing I know, collaboration significantly enhances learning. If you want access to my thoughts, this is the collaboration space to use. Most people propose an answer to margin questions, big picture question, or anything else related to managing Strayer. Other people can then comment leading to a stronger answer. I'll keep an eye on these pages, and pop in when I think you need me.
