Course Outcomes

Interpretation of Classical Scholarship

Successful students learn how to evaluate specialized scholarship under the direction of departmental faculty and library research specialists, who introduce students to their own research agenda in the process.

Developing and Expressing Original Interpretations of Classical Texts

Successful students will be able to write analytical papers or the equivalent that apply close readings to Classical literary texts to develop and clearly expression original interpretations of these texts.

Strategies in Scholarship

Successful students acquire strategies in how to find, read, comprehend, and write about the most important scholarship in more and less particular sub-disciplines of classical scholarship.

Preparing for the Capstone Essay

Students develop a learning environment with an individual faculty mentor to define and begin to answer a particular research question that will be interesting and answerable in a capstone essay to be written during the senior year (Clscs 497).
