Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This module is red on the Arts and Humanities traffic-light system for the use of generative AI technology. This means you must not use generative AI technology for any purpose when engaging with this module. This includes your independent reading, quizzes, etc. You may NOT share/upload teaching materials with AI.

The module will be taught through a combination of in-person lectures and tutorials, as well as completed guided reading and revision in your own time.

Engagement is essential and throughout the term you will be asked to informally reflect on the various ways you have engaged with the course content and classes in order to learn. Lectures will aim to provide an overview of, and context for, the ancient evidence and modern scholarship that students will read about in their own time as part of their guided study and research. In tutorials/seminars students will work on developing academic skills and preparing to engage with ancient evidence directly and critically engage with sources and modern scholarship. You can also talk through any questions or concerns you might have and explore topics as a group. The aim of these sessions is to help students transition to university study and to begin to work to use different types of ancient evidence and source material more independently.

It may become necessary to deliver the module in a blended or online format. If this happens recorded lectures will be provided, but the default will be in person, face-to-face learning. If you have access requirements or ongoing health challenges that prevent you from attending regularly please reach out to the module coordinator and UCD access as soon as possible to ensure that you have supports in place.
