Course Description:
Everyday Life in Greece and Rome
focuses on various aspects of daily life
in the ancient world and a comparative examination of
human activities in the
ancient and modern worlds. The course surveys
topics like urban vs. rural life, travel, economy
and trade, writing, education, slavery, etc. Many types of
evidence will be discussed, including readings in translation from
several ancient Greek and Latin texts, painting, sculpture, and
archaeological remains. |
A word on academic honesty:
We view academic dishonesty as a threat to the integrity and
intellectual mission of our institution. Any breach of the academic honesty
policy – either intentionally or unintentionally - will be taken seriously and
may result not only in failure in the course, but in suspension or expulsion
from the college. It is each student’s responsibility to read, understand and
comply with the general academic honesty policy at Monmouth College, as defined
in the Scots Guide (http://department.monm.edu/stuserv/student-handbook/academic.htm)
and to the specific guidelines for each
course, as elaborated on the professor’s syllabus.
The following areas are examples of violations of the academic honesty policy:
1. Cheating on tests, labs, etc;
2. Plagiarism, i.e., using the words, ideas, writing, or work of another without
giving appropriate credit;
3. Improper collaboration between students, i.e., not doing one’s own work on
outside assignments not specified as group projects by
the instructor;
4. Submitting work previously submitted in another course, without previous
authorization by the instructor.
(This list is not intended to be exhaustive.)
Caveat:
This syllabus is subject to
revision by the instructor, provided that written or verbal notice is given in
class.
