Learning unit contents
Two parts: I. Near Eastern History. II. Graeco-Roman History. The first part gives a chronological overview of the Near Eastern history (mainly Mesopotamia and Egypt) from the end of the 4th millenium until the Persian empire (end of the 6th cent. BC). The second part, which is more thematic, confronts Greece and Rome in their political structure and their historical evolution until the emergence of the Roman empire and the setting of its power on the Mediterranean world. A powerpoint presentation supports each lecture and is available on e-campus after the lesson.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To give an overview of the history of the Ancient Mediterranean world, from Sumer to the Roman Empire, with an emphasis on the difficulties of the historian working on these periods (sources, chronology, different interpretations).
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Nothing is required in particular, except notions of chronology and geography already learned. Curiosity, rigour and regular attendance may be helpful...
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
The course will be given at the 2nd Quadrimester, on Mondays from 10h to 12h and on Tuesdays from 14h to 16h (Grand Physique, Bât. A1, 1st floor).
The first class will be held on Monday, February 10th, 2020 (and not on February, 3rd !).
Recommended or required readings
The powerpoint presentation of each lesson will be available. Each one presents all elements for structuring and completing the notes taken by each student during the lesson. Bibliography, glossary, chronology and maps will also be available on the website.
Assessment methods and criteria
The examination of May/June (and August/September in case of failure) will take place in two stages.
1) The first step will consist of a multiple choice question paper (QCM) covering the whole matter (written examination).
2) Only the students who have received at least 10/20 at the QCM will access the second stage of the exam, based on one open question relating to the subject matter of the course and which requires a structured and developed response, supported by specific examples (oral examination).
Important note: the correction of the French language is fully part of the evaluation.
