What classes are you taking?

[Caladan]

Thats not too bad, i think i have about 22 hours contact time for my subjects. However, mine involve labs which are both time and mind draining. With your kind of degree do they let you do many hands on activies?
I remeber during my finals last year i spent about 20 hours a day in my room, not fun.

Well, we had a month of excavation on the summer after the first year of the degree, and we were supposed to have another month of excavations that makes you qualified to run a dig, but it seems to be facing some problems this year, and we might miss it. other than that we go on archaeological tours around Israel. we also had typology classes in which you learned the basics of identifying and drawing pottery.

Is it Sex Ed? Or like..a human sexuality course?

I can't wait to take a couple human sexuality courses. I find it fascinating.

Caladan: Your classes seem fabulous. I'm just a tad jealous

My courses this semester:

Honors Intellectual History II
Basically an English course, though it is quite interesting. Right now, we're studying A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Much better than Intellectual History I, but that's because of my previous professor, who was, for lack of a better word, an idiot.

Race and Judaism
A Jewish Studies course about relations between the different Jewish "races" (Ashkenazi/Sephardi/etc.), where Jews have "fit" into the racial spectrum of various classifications, and where Jews actually belong in this racial structure, if the structure even exists. I have a brilliant professor in this one.

Hebrew II
A language course, it's modern Hebrew as spoken in Israel, as opposed to religious or Classical Hebrew in the Torah, the Talmud and the various prayers. Since most of what I know is Classical Hebrew, and since I already speak a form of Jewish English as my first language, it's not especially difficult.

Honors Art of Acting
Basically, a combination of introduction to theater and a social study of the actual art itself. Excellent class, with a brilliant professor.

As a note, by complete accident, all of my professors are ethnically Jewish (though only one of them, religiously so).

I took part in some very interesting courses during this degree. I had a course about art, myth, and propaganda in Rome last semester which was fascinating and touched imperators like Augustus, their deification and the mythical propaganda around them. I had a fascinating course about Greek literature in the semester I just finished where we touched anything from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to Sofocles and Aristophanes , one of the best courses I took (well had to take) was the development of archaeological thought, a brilliant course about the different philosophies of archaeology that the different eras produced.

Now you're just rubbing it in

But truly, those classes sound like tons of fun! That's the kind of stuff I would like to take Perhaps if I have enough electives left :yes:

Go for it, me and my friends from the department dug up courses related to our field from plenty of other departments: medical studies, ecology, classical studies, history, Hebrew culture, Art.

What is "Attic Greek"?

 

[Caladan]

What is "Attic Greek"?

Attic Greek is the prestige dialect of Ancient Greek that was spoken in Attica, which includes Athens. Of the ancient dialects, it is the most similar to later Greek.

Technically, I am still in high school, but we were given a free collage course and I just finished and it was communication foundations, I officially believe collage is going to suck.

Unfortunately, it all depends on what college you go to and what you major in. Not all majors are created equal, nor are all schools.
