Primary emphasis will be on the revolution in ideas and visions of humanity that defined the Golden Age of classical Greece. Class meetings will consist of lecture and discussion segments. Active participation in the discussion periods will count in the determination of course grades. There will be a midterm on April 26, a 5-7 page paper due May 15, and a final examination.
Attendance is mandatory.
I will excuse some absences, but it is your responsibility to inform me beforehand that you are going to miss class. Keep in mind that there are no automatically excused absences, even for official university activities. Papers are due at the beginning of class on Monday, May 15 . You may write on any aspect of fifth century Athenian history, society, or culture, but you must meet with me beforehand to discuss your topic. No extensions will be given .
