Students should demonstrate their understanding of who Ibn Battuta was and why he is used as the theme of the chapter. His vivid accounts of the Muslim world are among the most important accounts of the period. Students should examine the way he describes the Delhi Sultanate and the kingdom of Mali and describe the relationship of the leadership to the people, governing styles, women, and the practice of Islam.
