1. This course focuses on cultivating students' ability to analyze the trends and characteristics of world history, and strive to establish a set of historical perspectives to construct historical structures, and evaluate the direction of world history in the future.
2. I hope to guide my classmates to understand the development process of world civilization, think about the evolution of its history, and look at history from the perspective of "great history" to cultivate a grand world view.
3. Training students' ability to think independently and cultivate their concern for the human world to establish an independent personality that is both rational and sensible.
4. Use cross-history, cross-cultural and cross-social approaches to describe the formation of world history for students.
5. Learn how to find and solve problems by guiding students' ability to think critically and interest in exploring historical and cultural issues.
Course content:
1. The "world" has gone from the local development of different regions, countries, and civilizations to the connections and interactions between the world today. All of this has its own material, political affairs, thoughts, and social and cultural connections. This course explores the process of the formation, transformation and development of the origin of human civilization to the late medieval world, hoping to cultivate students to understand and explore the main elements of world development.
2. The course is carried out mainly on the guidance and discussion of knowledge and Chinese-English related articles based on the origin of human civilization to the late medieval world history, and is written based on multimedia teaching and discussion, experience and experience reports. Please read the designated reading data in detail, search for related background knowledge, and establish organizational and critical abilities. Students can also help each other and inspire thinking in class discussions to have a deeper understanding and mastery of world history knowledge.
