Ryan Weatherstone was the Spring 2003 Supplemental Instruction leader for History 121. His notes from that semester are posted below.
Ryan was an excellent student,
a history major who earned all "A+"
grades
in the last class he took from me and who later did quite well in law
school. His class notes are good,
but not perfect. I have *not*
edited the notes (or my own
on-line notes, for that matter), and there are typos other
mistakes. Also, I change the lectures a bit from year to year,
and
there may be items here that don't correspond to anything I say this
semester.
I might also add material to a lecture this semester, and (obviously),
Ryan won't have any help for you on this material. Please be sure
*not* to rely on these notes alone. It's best to use these notes
as a supplement for your own, *not* as a substitute.
*Use all online notes with
caution*
