I is a survey course examining Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance civilizations of the world. This course incorporates our humanities curriculum through an examination of architecture, art, literature and political systems. I concentrates on literature in various genres, styles and authors. Class discussion, thinking journals, videotapes of selected pieces and role-playing all help to enhance the students' reading, writing, critical thinking and discussion skills.
Summer reading is required for all entering freshmen.
Also during the summer, previous grades, test scores, and writing samples will be reviewed.
