What Actually Happens
Western Civ 1 is basically a history class moving really fast. You cover paleolithic to neolithic man in about a day, and move onto Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilization. Other topics include Persian, Greek (Hellenic), Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Medieval culture. You cover the important people, political situations, and wars (and their deciding battles) in each of these phases. It's very interesting if you like history, but this is not a required course, so don't worry if you don't.
