“Are there any interesting history courses without any prerequisites offered in the Winter term? Thanks!”
[deleted]: “HIST 282: History of South Asia (1750-2000) is being offered for the first time in a long time.”
Anyone taken HIST 252 (Roman History), HIST 263 (Age of Revolution), or HIST 282 (History of Modern South Asia)? If so, how was it? Trying to decide between those electives. 1 point, 0 comments
