CLAS 3031EX - Rome's Twilight Study Tour

External - Quadmester 4 - 2019

Explore the world of Late Antiquity first-hand by visiting key monuments, sites and museums in Milan, Ravenna, Aquileia and Rome - all cities which in the 4th century CE were home to Roman emperors. This intensive overseas study tour provides a first-hand experience of Late Roman material culture, particularly of the fourth and fifth centuries CE. Not only style, but forms of elite art changed radically in Late Antiquity. The museums of Milan, Ravenna and Aquileia as well as their accessible remains provide valuable insights into the changing tastes of this late Roman world. Plans, models and CGI are useful visualisations, but part of the professional development of an archaeologist is to experience and understand the difference between them and the often disparate fragments on which they are based. For art historians and historians, understanding what artefacts and monuments can tell us about the past is also an invaluable skill. Moreover, nothing compares with the emotional impact of experiencing the Roman world directly. Students will develop skills in observation, reflection, induction, and deduction on archaeology-specific issues in an international context, through museum- and site-based studies of published artefacts, artworks and/or sites. In Rome, students will not only study the material at the Crypta Balba museum but also explore Late Imperial buildings here as well as in nearby Ostia. We will also visit the Bay of Naples. Whilst best known for its early Imperial cities - Pompeii, Herculaneum - this region also has its share of Late Antique monuments, including painted tombs in Naples, whilst the National Museum of Naples is one of the world?s greatest archaeological collections. Finally, day visits to the 1st century cities on the Bay of Naples will allow students to form their own comparisons and contrasts with the Late Roman cities previously explored.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
