I took a survey course in European History.  The first quarter
covered the end of the Middle Ages through the Renaissance.

My TA gave our section the following class assignments,

	o Discuss the relationship between European serfdom and
	  modern rural land practices in Guatemala and Honduras.

	o Identify some of the immediate and underlying causes of
	  the rise of the Bourgeoisie in the 13th-16th centuries
	  and their effects on the working class.

	o Compare the role of the Church in the lives of individuals
	  in the 13th-16th centuries with the role of the state in
	  a Marxist society.

These were the only assignments given by the TA during the quarter.
Approximately 30% of class time was spent discussing the events in
Nicaragua.  We did not cover Da Vinci, the Hapsburgs, New World Explo-
ration, Rise of Spain, the Protestant Reformation, or anything else.
