HISTORY 50 – Asian Civilization

For B.S. Nursing Students of MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology

NOTE: Since the normal History 50 course is designed for the rigid training of the History Majors of MSU-IIT, I am still revising and adjusting the History 50 syllabus and is planning to make an entirely new one. The difference is that the old syllabus deals with the ancient history of Asia starting from and mainly focusing on the Chinese and Indian Civilizations (and its influence on Asia in general) towards the coming of Western influences. This History 50 for nursing students will deal most on the Asian culture and the different facets of Asian history. To help you, the students of my class, I created this site to serve as a one-stop shop for sources dealing with Asian civilization.

Since this is a course in the making and most of you are pioneers in taking History 50 as students outside the AB History program, I found it necessary that you must choose for yourselves a topic to discuss on and report on especially with the vastness of the area comprising what is called Asian civilization.

As each group is required to submit a tentative topic and have it approved, the following links may be of great help:

a. Portal to Asian Internet Resources

b. Asian Resources on the World Wide Web

c. Internet East Asian History Sourcebook

d. East & Southeast Asia: An Annotated Directory of Internet Resources

e. University of Washington Libraries-Asian history Sources

f. The Wikipedia Organization-Asia

g. World Wide School Library

For those interested in early Indian Civilization in Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro, and Buddhism:

a. Harappan Culture

b. Mohenjo-Daro

c. Buddha Net
