HI108, Regional Studies in World History, is a detailed study of the development and critical events in the history of one of five regions: Africa (stem identifier A), East Asia (E), Latin America (L), the Middle East (M), or Russia (R). The focus on one region enables cadets to develop a deeper understanding of a different culture and unfamiliar ideas and concepts. The course also develops methods of historical research and analysis, critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion. HI108 combines with either HI105 or HI107 to form the plebe history sequence of the Core Academic Program.
