Document Summary
288, 295-308, 310-314, 317-331, 341-347 (skim), 366-375 (b) henry kissinger, world order [2014] 234-261, 266-269, 276-279, 283- All graded pass/fail, all but 4 are un-failable unless you write gibberish, admit you didn"t do any reading, etc. Focus on a thoughtful chat with your neighbor, followed by a brief tweet- like submission. (don"t write three paragraphs - keep it relatively short and sweet) 20/24 passed places you comfortably into the a range at a 95. Just assume you passed if you submitted it and didn"t say, i have no idea he"ll only release grades for exceptionally good/bad answer. A young(er) kissinger on us foreign policy. Very solidly on the side of realism and teddy roosevelt. Woodrow wilson was bad, didn"t understand balance of power/realpolitik. Kissinger eventually softened on wilson, saying wilson had a flawed genius in foreign policy. Only us president to have an earned phd. But while he was less racist, still pretty racist.
