Tell me about your background in ancient Greece and Rome. What related courses have you taken, at Wellesley or elsewhere? What related reading have you done? (interpret "related" broadly: many modern works, like Walcott's Omeros, are relevant) Movies, perhaps? travel?
Are there particular topics you'd like to see covered in ClCv 102, e.g., literary issues, historical questions, religion, archaeology?
How do you learn most effectively and most pleasurably? With images? written texts? discussion?
Describe yourself as a member of a class. For example, do you participate regularly? do you tend to be quiet but speak up if you're called on? do you enjoy working in small groups?
Any other things you'd like to mention as we get started?
Thanks!
