In many ways, we in the western world can trace our educational genealogy back to the Ancient Greeks, whose ideas about the importance of what today we call \liberal education" laid the foundation for many of the grounding principles of K-12 education and college education. This class will begin on campus, studying the Ancient Greek ideas about liberal education and Renaissance and Modern revivals of Greek ideals in an e_ort to trace the thread of Greek thought and inuence over the course of the past two and a half millennia. We will then travel to Greece for a two-week stay in order to explore ancient ruins that will provide us with a deeper understanding of the artistic, political, and philosophical culture that is the base of modern educational ideas { and that continue to inspire both great awe and great criticism today. During our time in Greece, we will both visit great sites, such as the Parthenon and Delphi, and read Greek authors that have long been considered foundational texts of liberal arts education. This course ful_ls the EDU 205 requirement for the Education major, but it will not focus on public school education as do most other EDU 205 courses. Non-majors are especially encouraged to register for the course. Additional fees required. Prerequisite: approved application (available in the O_ce of O_-Campus Study, Room 112, College Hall). Applications were due by March 3, 2008. (Humanities) MACKLER

Hamlet Hamlet, the second most written-about text in Western literature after the Bible, is an elusive entity. Based on an older Scandinavian myth and perhaps a lost play, it has come down to us in no less than three seventeenth-century texts that present today's editors, readers, and theatre professionals with a host of interpretive questions. This introductory writing class begins by investigating some of the major interpretive puzzles and possibilities through a reading of Shakespeare's \basic" texts. We then study several _lm and theatre adaptations of Shakespeare's play and the interpretive choices of their creative teams. Finally, we will discuss other writers' creative adaptations, which re-interpret the characters and conicts in Hamlet in daring and imaginative ways. Through discussion and daily writing assignments, you will develop your analytical and research skills and acquire some of the fundamental vocabulary for literary analysis. A research assignment will introduce you to the library resources and to research techniques in the _eld of literary studies. To perfect your writing skills and master the art of revision, you will keep a writer's journal, use it to draft and revise three formal papers, and generate a _nal project based on two of these papers. Not open to students who have previously completed ENG 111. (Humanities, Writing Requirement) STAVREVA
