BUT ROME IS WITH US, and it is US.
• In our architecture and art• In our literature• In our lifestyle• In our legal system, values and culture• The Roman empire was in the past• But its legacy is still at the core of our culture• This is why the study of Rome is not about the past: it is
about the present.

Assignments and Exams:
• All assignments and exams are ONLINE:• 5 weekly Quizzes = 50% of the Grade• Friday is quiz day. Before the quiz, there will be a review of the week’s material.• Each quiz = 10 multiple choice questions on the work of the same week (Monday –
Thursday) only.• 1 cumulative final test = 50 % of the Grade• The quizzes and exam will be on Sakai with a VERY STRICT time-limit, which is the
only guarantee of an honest exam, and thus no exceptions can be made.• Typically you have 30 seconds to pick the correct answer, plus 1 minute
overall to check your answers and submit. Thus a quiz would be timed for 6 minutes. After that, the system won’t accept your answers.
• The final will be similar in format: 50 questions at 30 seconds each, plus 3 minutes to check and submit.
