Agriculture was more revolutionary than some might think. Using a primary source set—including photos of artifacts from Mesopotamia and an amusing comic—learners consider the impacts of the neolithic, agricultural, and green revolutions. Another essay question asks them to consider what philosophers have had the most influence on history. The exam includes 50 multiple choice questions, many based on documents and images.
