這雖然是一門通識的歷史課程，但本課程將不講授政治朝代興替，更不需要背誦條約、戰爭或是事件與人物。「歷史（HISTORY / HERTORY）應該是屬於你 / 妳的故事。我們將從日常生活中所得所見的角度來解釋為何現代世界會演變成這樣。本課程的所有議題，在過去的施行上十分具有成效，大多數的學生都感到生動且前所未聞，並能從中學習到有用的知識與思維的方式。

Although this is a common historical course, this course will not teach political dynasties, nor will it require memorization of contracts, wars, events and characters. "History (HISTORY / HERTORY) should be your story. We will explain why the modern world has become like this from the perspective of what we have learned in our daily lives. All the questions in this course have been very effective in the past implementation, and most students feel dynamic and unprecedented, and can learn useful ways of knowledge and thinking from it.
