Course description
This course will examine the changes in the Late Roman world that fostered the evolution of the political and religious institutions of the modern world. In this period, the Roman Empire weakened in the West and strengthened in the East. Christianity changed from a minority underground religion to the major imperial faith. Two major legal codes (those of Theodosius and Justinian) were issued and shaped both European and Islamic laws. Aspects of life (religious, political, economic and artistic) in the years from 300 AD to 550 AD will be studied in detail. Questions such as “Did Rome Fall?” will be examined in contemporary accounts and modern analyses.

GRADING


WEEKLY ORAL PRESENTATIONS =150points
BIBILOGRAPHY (10 items required) & OUTLINE = 100 points
PRESENTATION OF PAPER TOPIC = 60 points
ATTENDANCE AND DISCUSSION = 90 points
FIRST TEST = 150 points
FINAL EXAM = 150 points
FINAL PAPER = 300 points


Ultimately, the student’s grade is based on the professor’s assessment of the student’s work.
94-100 = A, 93-90 = A-, 87-89 = B+, 84-86 = B, 80-83 = B-, 77-79 = C+, 74-76 = C,
70-73 = C-, 67-69 = D+, 64-66 = D, 63-60 = D-, below 60 = F

ORAL PRESENTATIONS Students will make weekly presentations on assigned topics. These topics will focus on the assigned readings, both primary sources and secondary analyses. A schedule will be established for these presentations.
BIBILOGRAPHY AND OUTLINE Students will turn in a bibliography of ten items. Each item should consist of the correct bibliographical citation for the book or journal article (which could be from a print or electronic format) and must go beyond the assigned readings. This bibliography is for the final paper. Students will also turn in a five point outline with an introductory thesis statement that explains the main argument of the final paper in draft format as assigned.

PRESENTATION OF THE PAPER TOPIC
Students will make a fifteen-minute presentation to the class of the main points of their paper topic. This presentation will include giving each member of the class a handout which should list the proposed title, the student’s name, a thesis statement of approximately 25 works, an outline of five points (either phrase or sentence outline), and ten bibliographical entries the student plans to use in his/her final paper. The fifteen minute presentation includes time for class interaction and questions.

TEST AND EXAM There will be a mid-term test and a final exam. These will be designed to assess the student’s comprehension of assigned readings from both the ancient and modern authors. These tests will focus on the major issues and arguments of the common readings.

FINAL PAPER Papers should be 15 pages, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, in a 12-point font. In your papers, you want to explore some question that can be answered by the primary sources and/or archaeological reports. Thus a paper that analyzes a narrow topic in depth is far preferable to some broad survey. In developing your argument, you should quote five passages from one or more primary source(s) which can be from our readings in class or from other ancient authors located in print volumes or from online sources. You must fully document these sources by ancient authors and titles, book and section numbers, translators, the modern title, publisher, place and date of publication, and page numbers. You may use either footnotes with a bibliography OR parenthetical citations with a list of works cited. You are encouraged to look at modern historians who have written articles and/or books on the topic. These must also be properly cited by footnote or parenthetical reference. All works used in the paper must be given proper credit.

Consult TURABIAN for examples on how to do this.

Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense.
Definition of Plagiarism from To The Point and the College Catalog:

Plagiarism is the act of appropriating and using the words, ideas, symbols, images, or other works of original expression of others as one's own without giving credit to the person who created the work. If students have any questions regarding the definition of plagiarism, they should consult their instructor for general principles regarding the use of others' work. Among sources commonly used for documenting use of others' work are the style manuals published by the American Psychological Association, the Council of Biology Editors, the Modern Language Association, and Turabian's Manual for Writers of Term Papers. The final authority concerning methods of documentation is the course instructor. Specific instances of plagiarism include, but are not limited to, the following:
a) Word-for-word copying of sentences or paragraphs from one or more sources that are the work or data of other persons (including books, articles, theses, unpublished works, working papers, seminar and conference papers, lecture notes or tapes, graphs, images, charts, data, electronically based materials, etc.), without clearly identifying their origin by appropriate referencing.
b) Closely paraphrasing ideas or information (in whatever form) without appropriate acknowledgement by reference to the original work or works.
c) Presenting material obtained from the Internet as if it were the student's own work.
d) Minor alterations such as adding, subtracting, or rearranging words, or paraphrasing sections of a source without appropriate acknowledgement of the original work or works.
3. Falsification
Falsification involves misrepresentation in an academic exercise.
Misrepresentation includes, but is not limited to:
a) Falsely attributing data or judgments to scholarly sources.
b) Falsely reporting the results of calculations or the output of computer programs, or materials from other electronic sources.
c) Presenting copied, falsified, or improperly obtained data as if it were the result of laboratory work, field trips, or other investigatory work.
4. Resubmission of work
No student may turn in work for evaluation in more than one course without the permission of the instructors of both courses.
Penalties for plagiarism can include, but are not limited to, a zero on the work in question, an F in the course, and referral to the Office of the Provost. ALL sources which you use (books, articles, internet) must be cited properly.

THE WRITING CENTER
The Writing Center, located in the Library Annex, offers peer tutors trained to discuss your writing with you. No matter where you are in the writing process (brainstorming ideas, understanding assignments, or revising rough and final drafts), the tutors in the Writing Center can assist you. These tutors are your peers, and so they would not grade or proofread your paper for you, but would instead coach you in becoming a stronger writer. I encourage you to use the Writing Center as much as possible. You can make an appointment with the Center by visiting their website, www.smcm.edu/writingcenter and clicking "Schedule an Appointment." At the same website, you can find helpful resources on many writing-related topics.


STANDARD REFERENCE WORKS:
See the Oxford Classical Dictionary (1 vol., 3rd ed.) [OCD]; Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (3 vols.) [ODB]; and Late Antiquity: A Guide to the Postclassical World for articles that indicate current trends in historiography and refer you to important bibliography. These reference works are available in the Reference section of the SMCM library. At the front of these volumes is a key list of abbreviations of journals and other works that you will need for preparing the annotated bibliography and research paper.

JOURNAL ARTICLES
Journals at SMCM (on the second floor of the library near the stairs at the rear of that floor) include Archaeology, American Journal of Archaeology, American Journal of Philology, Arethusa, Classical Journal, Classical Quarterly, Classical Review, Greek Roman and Byzantine Studies, and others.
