The Scientific Revolution

Use these questions to help you identify the significant information in your reading. We will not cover all of the material in class, thus you should either be outlining or answering these questions as you read to help yourself retain the information. If you have questions on assigned reading, or are having a hard time answer any of these questions be sure to bring them up in class the day after the reading was assigned. This type of textbook work is an expectation, as this is a college class I will not be collecting it, however if you do not do it you are not likely to pass this class or the AP European History Exam.
