Description
Study of papers and composition of a personal final paper. It is noted that the students' workload is particularly increased because 1) many of the Byzantine texts that students must read are not translated into Modern Greek (the existence of translations would speed up their work), and 2) a large percentage of the secondary literature is in foreign languages.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
