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, hybrid learning)
The course will be given at the 2nd Quadrimester, on Mondays from 10h to 12h (A1, Salle Gothot, 1/36) and on Tuesdays from 14h to 16h (A2, Salle Wilmotte, 3/25).
The health situation could lead to changes in the seminar room (follow the bills on the Professor's door).
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The health situation could lead us to organize the course at a distance, using the Collaborate virtual classroom, available under the course tab on Ecampus.
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
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
The written exam in May/June (and August/September in case of failure) will consist of a MCQ covering all the course material (including the course materials available on Ecampus).
The potential impossibility of organizing the exam in person would be compensated by the implementation of strict modalities for the remote MCQ, on Ecampus (timer and impossibility of going back).
