Dear Student,

Welcome to Session 8 of World History: The Early Modern Period. You can access all course materials for this micro-course on the website at anytime: http://course.oeru.org/whme101/

Congratulations on reaching the final session of the course! In this session we learn about two different kinds of revolutions to the political revolutions we examined in Session 7 – the scientific and industrial revolutions. Over time, these revolutions have profoundly changed the everyday lives of peoples everywhere – the kinds of work we do, our understanding of how the world works, our access to medical treatment and more.
Begin Session 8 here.
