The regular format of lessons (90 minutes) are lectures with discussions of set weekly readings. For readings in languages other than English, translations (into English) will be provided. In December, students may also join an optional excursion to Berlin to visit the traveling exhibition Archäologische Schätze aus Usbekistan (James Simon Gallery), where we can view some material discussed in the course in-person. |
