A.P. EUROPEAN HISTORY Syllabus A.P. European History is a challenging course designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college level course. Students will be exposed to a general overview of the Middle Ages during the summer months and then be expected to demonstrate knowledge of basic chronology and major events from 1450 to the present. Within that chronology, several broad themes will be examined: intellectual-cultural, political-diplomatic, and social-economic history. Emphasis will be placed on skills such as analyzing historical evidence from a variety of interpretations, writing analytical and interpretive essays, and taking effective notes. Units of study will be taught chronologically and will include the following topics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
