Ancient History of the Middle East

Ancient History - Middle

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the ancient histories of the region in western Asia that is today called the Middle East. There we find the earliest cultures in world history documented with an abundance of sources, including numerous written texts, which allows us to study the first attestations of many elements of life we take for granted, such as writing, cities, laws, empires, and much more. The course aims to provide you with a knowledge of the most important empirical data about these histories and to confront you the impact some of the developments made on human life as well as the difficulties we confront trying to study them.

Literature Humanities II

In Literature Humanities, students make sense of literary texts together, on paper and in discussion. We read significant and challenging books that require collective exploration in a seminar setting to be best understood and appreciated, books that enable us to ask questions about literature and how it works, about our place in histories and traditions, about ourselves as beings and members of a society. We read with and against the grain of canon and tradition, and we pursue understanding together, in a shared classroom community, to learn not only how to be better readers and writers but also how to be in intellectual community with one another. Over the course of the semester, students become acquainted with specific works of literature; they become aware of those works’ relations to one another; and they become conversant in the questions those works ask and the questions they make it possible for us to ask.

ELEMENTARY ITALIAN II

Ciao!
I am so thrilled that you have chosen to study Italian at Barnard. This class marks the beginning of your journey through the wonderful language, history, and culture of Italy. I am hopeful that our time together will be fruitful, informative, and fun.

This document outlines the course objectives, requirements and policies for Elementary Italian 2.  I have chosen to outline these policies in English so that they are as clear as possible, but
Italian is the official language of the course
, and classes will be conducted accordingly. Some English will be used at the beginning of the semester as we get to know each other, but it will be phased out over the course of our time together.
