    • Troy . CLASS 55

    Troy and the Trojan War hold a central place in the imagination, from the ancient Greek world to the present. What was the connection between heroic ideals and a Bronze Age world of palaces and archives? This course will consider the Trojan War through different lenses -- the archaeology of Bronze Age Greece, Homer?s epic poems the Iliad and Odyssey, trade and commerce with the Near East, and contemporary re-imaginings.

    CLASS55 . Gallucci R 3 Months Ago

    I have taken Gallucci throughout my four years here (Class 40, Class 20A, Class 50, Class 55). He is an absolute legend. Lectures are not mandatory in order to receive at least an A. Minimal work (a few papers) and midterm/final open note. If you ever get the chance to take his classes, do yourself a favor and DO IT!!!

    CLASS55 . Gallucci R 4 Years Ago

    Didn't go to any lectures and got an A. Midterm and final were very easy. Article summaries graded on completion. I did have to read the book for the book review but got 100% with not too much effort so it was also probably graded on completion. Proofread your work, he takes off points for spelling/grammar. Would recommend, he's a very nice guy.

    CLASS55 . Gallucci R 5 Years Ago

    Dr. Gallucci's course examining the historicity of the Trojan War enriched my memories of the visit I took to Turkey this past summer. The course fulfills both the literature GE area and a writing requirement, and Dr. Gallucci makes it clear that an A is achievable with minimal effort -- graded based on 2 papers, 2 exams, and 8 article summaries.

    Literally showed up Syllabus day, Midterm, and Final. Ended up getting a B+. 2 papers, midterm, final. His tests are all multiple choice. Fairly easy material if you do the reading.
