Response to HUM CC rec'd 2/27/09 res:

  • What exactly must be done to get an S versus a U?
    Students are assigned readings before and translation/essay tasks after each meeting; they also should write at least one large essay on a topic from history and/or methodology of our disciple. Single instructor grade translations/essays, the faculty coordinator of the course grades the final essay.
  • A brief statement of rationale addressing how students are evaluated, perhaps explaining how the course is taught (i.e., why there is no syllabus attached)
    The course deals with the methodologies and the histories of the many subdisciplines that make up Classics (i.e. Greek and Roman Literature, Greek, Latin and Italic linguistics, Greek and Roman religions, epigraphy, palaeography and codicology, Late antique, Early Christian Patristic, and Byzantine cultures, Medieval Latin). A senior faculty member is in overall charge of the course, as main instructor in the history and methodology and as coordinator of the course; this faculty member is also responsible for the final evaluation of the students, by setting and grading the final essay and by evaluating each student in collaboration with all the other teachers. Each sub-discipline is co-taught with the coordinator by a regular faculty member that represents his/her field; this faculty member sets specific assignments, evaluates the success of the students, and advises the main instructor on the success of individual  students. Since the course will have a very flexible configuration  that depends on the group of faculty members that teaches it, a precise syllabus is impossible.
  • Are you intending to change the credit hour to flex (from 3 cr to 1-3, for example)? Credit flexible 1-3.
