Final Examination and Term Paper
A. Final Examination
On this study tour we encountered many different kinds of sites, artifacts, and buildings. Choose three of the following categories/genres and write briefly about each, citing as many examples as you can of each from what we have seen.
Mention and describe some important examples of each, including their dates and location. Describe and discuss their function, history, and place in Greek life. Be sure to tell how each example typifies (or deviates from) its genre. You do not need to be exhaustive; hit the highlights, and concentrate on what you experienced on this trip. Get the information across efficiently.
You may use sources other than your memory and notes. Please include a bibliography of all sources you consult. Check Mullins Library; it's full of good sources. Feel free to ask for suggestions on bibliography.
