Quiz 4

2) Please refer to the learning outcomes in your syllabus for this class. Did the course meet these outcomes? Were any of the outcomes not met? In answering this question, cite specific course activities or assignments that stand out to you. After reviewing this syllabus, I have seen that we have covered every learning outcome. We have definitely demonstrated knowledge of political, economic, social, religious, intellectual and artistic experiences of people around the world over time. We began in the Paleolithic Era, and ended in the Post Modern Era. That is a huge gap in time, especially when thinking the Paleolithic Era began 200,000 years ago. To see how far we have come as a species is also very impressive. Not only have we evolved into the humans you see today, but our technology has come very far as well.
