Intended for first-year students, this discovery seminar explores medieval manuscripts in Special Collections. Over the course of the quarter, students will learn how to handle manuscripts, understand their production, and interpret their decoration. We will examine a range of genres, including: Paris Bibles, Books of Hours, scientific notebooks, Qurans, and choir books. We will also consider how medieval book-making practices carried over into print—still shaping our experience of the written word today.

Prerequisites: Freshman standing.

ARTH105P . Badamo H A 20 Days Ago

She was a great lecturer, really clear and easy to follow lectures and knows SO much information. Lectures are definitely mandatory to do well. Class is graded by just a few assignments, which she graded leniently and tests are not too difficult if you do a bare minimum of studying.

ARTH105R . Badamo H A 4 Months Ago

the midterm and final combined were 50% of the grade, the rest of the class is P/NP assignments. so. much. information. you need to be an expert on the subject matter to do well on the exams. the final had me praying to god and calling on my ancestors. she's very passionate about what she teaches, but the course content needs to be halved. run.

ARTH105P . Badamo H A 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Professor Badamo was excellent. We had weekly readings that were easy to understand and informative, and the lectures followed the readings. The course included 2-3 exams, and she provided a helpful study guide for each. We were also assigned a group project at the end of the quarter, which I enjoyed.

ARTH1050 . Badamo H A 2 Years Ago

Sort of baffled by the bad reviews. I thought her lectures were clear, and she was very interested in our success. You really do have to take good notes, and pay attention to the readings (1/week), but I didn't find it more difficult than usual. Study guides are extremely similar to the actual test. She is clearly passionate about this subject.

ARTH1050 . Badamo H A 2 Years Ago

I took ARTHI105Q and I really enjoyed the content. The lectures were easy to follow and she provided outlines before. There were 2 midterms (so easy) MCQ, SA and vocab matching. The final was a group presentation but she gave you plenty of time to work on it. Reading is important and shows up on tests. But overall really great class.
