.

This course uses three websites and they are:

World Civilization I:	http://www.cas.buffalo.edu/classes/his/hischaos
	This is the "main" Webpage. It consists of the following: Syllabus-the instructor and teaching assistants' information, class expectations, required textbooks, grading policy, class regulations, attendance policy, and rules regarding plagiarism. Schedule-a weekly calendar of the topics to be discussed, readings to be completed, assignments due, and exam dates. In addition, there are links to key terms to be studied, images that will be discussed in class, and key points of the lectures. Communication-this page links to a separate, password protected website [UBLearns/Blackboard] where you will find special course announcements and, most importantly, power point files for course lectures. Additionally, this site allows students, teaching assistants, and the professor to communicate, share files, virtually chat, and participate in discussion forums, if they so wish. Help-explains how to use the many online tools available for this class. Site Map-a navigation aid to get you through the multiple pages of this site quickly and easily.
