I. Course Structure:

            Our primary goal for this seminar is to explore the evidence (archaeological, iconographic, literary, and epigraphical) for seafaring in the Mediterranean from the Iron Age until the Roman Empire.   Our secondary goal is to locate this evidence within a framework of broader historical subjects (trade, economy, commerce).  For some of you, this course will require additional reading of a supplementary nature (see IV).  Each class will begin with a general historical introduction, followed by 3-5 oral student presentations and discussion of the material presented.  Everyone in class is expected to arrive prepared and participate in these discussions.

 

II. Course Requirements:

(i)                 Research Paper: A paper of approximately 20 pages based on a thoughtful, well-focused topic and including original research.  The paper will follow the format of the AJA.  A one-page abstract of approximately 200 words with preliminary bibliography will be due in class on March 2nd.  The final paper is due by 5:00pm on May 4th.  

 

Evidence of plagiarism will result in a failing grade.  As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one’s own the ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another.  Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely communicated.  For more on plagiarism, academic honesty and integrity, see: http://library.tamu.edu/aggiehonor.

 

(ii)               Presentations: Oral reports on assigned material should move from the general to the specific and may include supplementary handouts.  As bibliographical references are listed in alphabetical order, it will be up to the presenter to decide how his/her material is best organized.  The ability to organize and present data effectively and coherently is the key to success in delivering oral reports and writing research papers. Students are welcome to include additional sources in their presentations, but not to the exclusion of assigned bibliography.

 

III. System of Grading:

Final grades in this course will be calculated according to the following formula:

paper abstract (due 3/2): 20%

(6) oral presentations:  40%

research paper (due 5/4): 40%

 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities.  Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities.  If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Department of Student Life, Services for Students with Disabilities in Room 126 of the Koldus Building, or call 845-1637.
