Global II is a challenging course and requires a good deal of effort to achieve success.  Students are required to recall information from Global I as well as Global II, thus, it is important not to fall behind or lose focus.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me through my voice mail, ext.1144 or E-mail at jsabatino@csufsd.org
