Suggested Time Commitment

The course involves a large amount of reading and analysis in the relatively brief period of six weeks. If you are unable to set aside time for reading on a regular basis it will be difficult for you to complete this course satisfactorily. It is necessary to keep up with the readings for the units, one per week, for the duration of the course. In addition, you will find that you need to work through each reading a number of times in order to understand all the following:

1. the order of events and developments, and the reasons for them
2. the links, if any, between events and developments
3. the consequences of events and developments, both long and short term,
4. the culture of which they are a part.

It will be useful if you make notes under these headings when you have read each assignment. I will look for evidence, wherever appropriate, from your assignments that you have understood each of the aspects listed above.

Moodle also contains a link to a short file about writing essays for this course. On the website for the Department of Classics, Queens University, you will also find a link to Queen's policy on Academic Integrity.
