Original PAF: January 2004 CF PAF: 13 October 2006

14. Date of programme review 2016/17 16. Educational aims of the programme The following learning outcomes are applicable to all awards. The programme aims to develop the student’s interest in, and knowledge and understanding of the material culture of Greco-Roman antiquity, and the methods by which it is discovered, preserved and interpreted. Classical Archaeology comprises the study of field and analytical methodologies; traditions and contemporary practices in museology; critical traditions in the interpretation of material culture; the comparative study of art historical genres or themes; the study of Greco-Roman art and material culture in its contemporary social and material context; and the reception of Greco-Roman art in western Europe. The Programme aims to foster respect for the student’s own and others’ culture and values and a capacity for critical reasoning and judgement. The intellectual training also aims to encourage flexibility of approach. A Classical Archaeology honours degree (in common with all programmes offered by this Department) depends on proper interaction between in-depth training in a skill, and the intellectual training common to all Humanities degrees. At the heart of a university education in the Classics Department is the need to teach Greek and Latin, to impart a knowledge of ancient cultures, and to train students’ own intellectual and personal skills. The Department’s aims are therefore: • To train students to think logically, to develop analytical skills, to Assess evidence, to exercise

judgement, and to reach coherent decisions through the study of modules of high intellectual content.

• To train students to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. • To produce intelligent, adaptable, articulate and independently minded graduates who will satisfy

the needs of employers in a wide range of occupations, and who will become life-long learners with an appreciation of the value to society of an education in the Humanities.

17. Educational objectives of the programme/programme outcomes The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding and skills in the following areas:

Knowledge and understanding

The programme provides a knowledge and understanding of the following: 1. The material culture of Greco-Roman

antiquity, the history and methodology of its discovery and preservation;

These are achieved through the following teaching/learning methods and strategies: Skills 1-3, 5-7 are acquired in small-group lectures, seminars and tutorials in each of years 1, 2 and 3 on topics related to classical

2. The similarities and differences between the culture of Greek and Roman antiquity and the student’s own culture;

3. The history of Classical archaeology as a discipline and its relationship to other disciplines in the Humanities and sciences;

4. Complementary subjects related to Greco-Roman antiquity – drawn from such fields as language, literature, linguistics, philosophy, history, or theme-based topics which cross the boundaries between them (e.g. religion, gender studies) – and periods;

5. An appropriate and diverse range of primary materials, e.g. literary, philosophical and historical texts, art objects, artefacts and their contexts, inscriptions, landscape;

6. A range of techniques and methodologies, such as bibliographical and library research skills, a range of skills in archaeological fieldwork and the curation of objects, the varieties of historical method, the visual skills characteristic of art criticism, use of statistics, interpretation of scientific data, skills in translation from and/or into Greek (ancient) and/or Latin;

7. A range of viewpoints on problems of interpretation and evaluation, and a variety of critical approaches to them drawn from different disciplines within the subject area

8. Appropriate personal and professional conduct in the context of the discipline.

archaeology. Skill 4 is acquired through taking modules from programmes in other departments. Skill 5 is addressed through all modules making use of primary materials, in the case of written material either in the original or in translation, in the case of material culture either through reproductions or direct contact in museums. Students are made aware that class contact time is the departure point for their learning, the greater part of which must be self-motivated. Tutors advise on secondary reading, on locating resources, and on securing fieldwork and museum placements. The importance of independent reading and the development of practical skills are stressed at all levels. Learning is enhanced by effective preparation, in terms of background reading, and by participation in archaeological field participation in archaeological field projects or voluntary museum work. Assessment: Learning outcomes are tested through a combination of assessed coursework and final, unseen, examination. Assessed coursework is principally in the form of essays, but may include an element for analysis of ancient sources.

Skills and other attributes

Intellectual skills: 1. A command of the ancient Greek and

Latin languages; 2. Can analyse more abstract texts,

evidence, etc without guidance, using a range of approaches and techniques appropriate to the subject;

3. With minimum guidance can critically assesses secondary literature and important ideas to develop an argument;

These are achieved through the following teaching/learning methods and strategies: Intellectual skills are developed through the teaching and learning programme outlined above. All modules, however taught, involve discussion of key issues; practice in applying concepts both orally and in writing, analysis and interpretation of materials, and individual feedback sessions on coursework and on general progress.

4. Can critically evaluate material to support conclusions, reviewing its reliability, validity and significance. Can investigate contradictory information/identify reasons for contradictions;

5. Is confident and flexible in identifying and defining complex issues within the discipline and can apply appropriate knowledge and skills in addressing them.

Assessment: The assessment methods outlined above demand the development of skills 1-5. 5 will be demonstrated increasingly, from years 1 to 3, but will be most evident in year 3. The compulsory final year dissertation provides the perfect vehicle for all skills.

Practical skills: 1. Can operate in complex and

unpredictable contexts, requiring selection and application from a wide range of methods and activities;

2. Able to act autonomously, with minimal supervision or direction, within agreed guidelines.

These are achieved through the following teaching/learning methods and strategies: All students receive guidance on identifying, locating and using material in libraries and elsewhere. Comprehensive bibliographies are provided for each module at the outset, as are module descriptions and essay titles. First-year students are given a guide to the production of essays, giving examples of citations, notes and critical apparatus, and guidance on attribution of sources. First-year compulsory core modules introduce students to analysis of texts in translation from thematic, generic and methodological perspectives. Assessment: These skills are primarily assessed through assessed coursework, required for most modules and final examinations.

Generic/transferable skills: 1. Can interact effectively within a

team/learning group, recognise, support or be proactive in leadership, negotiate and manage conflict;

2. With minimum guidance can manage own learning using full range of resources for the discipline(s);

3. Is confident in application of own criteria of judgement and can challenge received opinion. Can seek and make use of feedback;

4. Can select and manage information, competently undertaking reasonably straight-forward research tasks with minimum guidance;

5. Can take responsibility for own work and

These are achieved through the following teaching/learning methods and strategies: Small-group teaching in all modules develops skills 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Skills 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are developed through written work and feedback on same. Skills 1, 3 and 6 are relevant to tutorials, seminars and discussions. Assessment: Skills 2-7 are assessed through essays, class participation and oral presentations. Skill 1 is not formally assessed but is inherent in exposure to the subject.
