고전 세계 I 그리스와 로마 역사

Explore the rich history, culture, and achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans. From the grandeur of the Parthenon to the political intrigue of the Roman Republic, our class will take you on a journey through time.

This course will explore the world of Ancient Greece and Rome through primary documents and images.  This course is interactive and discussion based.  Students will be provided with prior reading assignments to prepare for in class discussion.  We will discuss the development and characteristics of each of these civilizations, as well as key points in their history.

Learners need no prior exposure to the Classical world to benefit from this course, although I would recommend my course on Ancient Civilizations and evaluating primary documents as useful.  I enjoy teaching students how to do real history instead of simply memorizing facts, so we will actively engage with primary documents to help understand the historical circumstances we are discussing.  

What to expect from this course:
-an understanding of the development of the Greek and Roman civilizations
-an appreciation for the contributions of the Classical age
-improved skill at evaluating and analyzing primary documents
-an understanding of the major philosophies of the Classical age
