Two papers are required, topics for which will be handed out several weeks prior to their due dates. Additionally, random quizzes will be administered throughout the semester. You are encouraged to look through these questions and use them to study for the midterm and final exam. Also consider them when you are reading through the texts. If you are unable to download the questions on-line, please contact me for assistance.
All texts are also on reserve at the library.
Students are required to bring the text under discussion with them to class. I will let you know weekly in class where you should be in the reading. City of God pp. Thucydides spends much time discussing the democracy at Athens. What lessons does Thucydides seem to demonstrate by writing about it.
