The Aeneid of Virgil , tr. Our readings in Greek and Roman epic will be supplemented by visual material which provides a context for the poetry and its mythic sources. When you view the syllabus on Netscape, simply select the name of the image and it will appear. The two examinations will cover the literarature as well as supplementary readings and materials covered in lectures and discussion. Exams will focus not only on the content of the materials but also on your ability to organize, interpret and articulate your understanding of them.
Careful preparation is required.
Be sure to bring one or two examination bluebooks to each exam. Quizzes Although almost every class will involve some discussion, some days will be given over entirely to discussion of one kind or another. These will be announced beforehand. Discussion provides an opportunity to present responses to the readings, to review questions and problems encountered in your readings, and to discuss ideas and materials not covered in lecture periods. Format for discussion classes will vary.
