The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the three Abrahamic religions. The beliefs,

will discuss the mutual influence and development of the three religions. Both similarities and biases
between them will be discussed. The third part of the course will focus on the ways that the encounter
with other cultures further shaped each of the three religions. Particular attention will be given to shifts in
Judaism and Christianity that resulted from reaching out to the New World.

The Abrahamic Religions in Casablanca - Monday, Oct 10
We will visit a site of worship for each of the three Abrahamic religions: the Hassan II Mosques, the
Cathedrale Sacre-Coeur, and Temple Beth-El. This will provide an opportunity for comparative
observation of the architecture, symbolism, and worship in each tradition. Students will get a chance to
experience the coexistence of the three traditions in Morocco.
Objectives:
Students should understand the similarities and differences between the three traditions.
Students should become familiarized with major symbols of the three traditions.
Students should come to question the widespread dichotomy between the Judeo-Christian and the Muslim
worlds
Assignment:
During the field class students are asked to take a photo of two religious elements for each religion (total 6
photos). Elements could be anything related to religion: ritual, symbol, drawing, architecture, outfit etc.
while taking photos make sure that you understand the nature of the element you are photographing.
Document the information on spot. Make sure photos are permissible. You can consult the relevant chapter

1. Description of the photo – context, meaning, religious category etc.
2. Reflection on the different meanings of these elements for the religious practitioner and for the student.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha: New Revised Standard Version (found in ship library) to
better understand the chosen story. Your essay is like a travel blog that focuses on the biblical story that you
chose.
During your field experience, document four visualizations of the story. These visualizations must be
diverse: either found in different continents; in different religious traditions/denominations; or in different
settings such as popular vs. religious culture, wall painting vs. video clip etc. make sure that you document
as much information as possible on these visualizations on spot.

ATTENDANCE/ENGAGEMENT IN THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Attendance in all Semester at Sea classes is mandatory, but it is at the instructor’s discretion to assign a
grade to the participation and attendance requirement.
Students must inform their instructors prior to any unanticipated absence and take the initiative to make up
missed work in a timely fashion. Instructors must make reasonable efforts to enable students to make up
work which must be accomplished under the instructor’s supervision (e.g., examinations, laboratories). In
the event of a conflict in regard to this policy, individuals may appeal using established CSU procedures.
LEARNING ACCOMMODATIONS
Semester at Sea provides academic accommodations for students with diagnosed learning disabilities, in
accordance with ADA guidelines. Students who will need accommodations in a class, should contact ISE to
discuss their individual needs. Any accommodation must be discussed in a timely manner prior to
implementation. A memo from the student’s home institution verifying the accommodations received on
their home campus is required before any accommodation is provided on the ship. Students must submit this
verification of accommodations pre-voyage as soon as possible, but no later than July 19, 2016 to
STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
The foundation of a university is truth and knowledge, each of which relies in a fundamental manner upon
academic integrity and is diminished significantly by academic misconduct. Academic integrity is
conceptualized as doing and taking credit for one’s own work. A pervasive attitude promoting academic
integrity enhances the sense of community and adds value to the educational process. All within the
University are affected by the cooperative commitment to academic integrity. All Semester at Sea courses
adhere to this Academic Integrity Policy and Student Conduct Code.
Depending on the nature of the assignment or exam, the faculty member may require a written declaration
of the following honor pledge: “I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance on this
exam/assignment.”

You are allowed, even encouraged, to form study groups. However, all work turned in (papers, quizzes,
exams) MUST be your own work. College rules on plagiarism will apply to all of your written work, and
any violation is a serious offense. Plagiarism includes copying another student’s work in any capacity; and
copying an author’s work without proper citation. This latter category includes directly quoting a work
without reference, and inappropriately paraphrasing (simply changing a few words rather than presenting
the thoughts of the author in your own words). Please consult the College Handbook and the instructor if
you are unclear about what constitutes plagiarism. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. For the first offense,
you will receive a zero for that assignment. Any second offense will be reported to the authorities, a letter
will go into your permanent file, and you will fail the course. No exceptions.
THE ACADEMIC STUDY OR RELIGION
While this course makes no presuppositions about your faith-perspectives, it does insist that the variety of
confessional stances be respected. You are not asked to ‘believe’ all materials presented, but you are expected
to know the theories and to be able to engage them critically.
Primary texts, movies and other documentations are to be respectably yet critically evaluated. RESERVE BOOKS AND FILMS FOR THE LIBRARY
