Basis for SHU Grade in the Course
Grades will be based on class participation here and in Greece, that it: being in class, being able, not only, to understand what is being discussed, but also being able to participate in the discussion, attendance here and in Greece, a midterm, an on-site oral presentation, and a final exam. Three absences are allowed; more will affect the grade by 1% each.
The midterm will cover all ten chapters of the book. It will be identification and short answers. The oral presentation will be a short presentation designed to introduce your fellow students to a particular archeological site or building in Greece (e.g. the Grave Circles at Mycenae or the temple of Zeus at Olympia) It will be about 10 minutes. There will be an example given by a student with the first few weeks of the semester.
