<sup>''This is the growing list of study terms for [[World History Lectures|World history]], from creation to 1648 (the same midpoint used by the [[CLEP]] exams)''.
This should grow from 339 (175 of them are honors) to 500 terms -- about half basic and half honors -- and every term should be described in the table. '''Either add a description for a term here, or improve the description that exists, or add new terms, or add new terms with descriptions'''. ''An examination on this material will be given in November 2011''.
