Description
Teaching Delivery: This module is taught in 20 bi-weekly classes (one 2 hour and one 1 hour class per week).
Content: This module is a compulsory first-year module within the Classics and Ancient World degree programme. It aims to introduce first-year students to the different approaches adopted by the three disciplines of archaeology, history and literary studies. Classes will discuss various methodological issues important to the study of these three disciplines, at introductory level. It is taught by different members of staff from the participating departments (Greek & Latin, History and Archaeology), who will each teach classes in their own field. The module is intended to introduce and support the first year studies, teaching basic analytical techniques which students are then expected to apply to other modules, as appropriate to the particular discipline.
Skills: Students will improve their understanding of methodological approaches to source material in the fields of literary studies, archaeology and history, and will develop their ability in the close reading of evidence (both textual and visual), oral presentation and written analysis.
