Class Policies
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory. During each class meeting class work, a quiz, or test will be given. If you miss this work you are counted as absent. Quizzes cannot be made up. If you miss more than four classes, you will be dropped. If you stop attending class after the official drop date, I will have to fail you. If you intend to drop it is your responsibility to do so before the official deadline.Class Etiquette and
Participation
Class participation is required. There will be many opportunities to discuss material in class and to dialogue with other students when appropriate. There will be class work, quizzes and written work that cannot be made up if you are not in class.You must have your reading done before you come to class. If you do not, you will be asked to sit in the back and finish your reading and will not be able to take the quiz for that day. You will also be expected to make comments on the class blog about your reading assignments, the lectures or films seen in class or as related to homework.No food or drinks in the classroom. No cell phones. You will be asked to leave if you bring a cell phone, PDA or any other electronic device that is a distraction.You will be expected to follow DeAnza’s College official policy of mutual respect.
ADA Statement
If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please notify the instructor of this course within the first two weeks of class.
Class Work/Homework/Blog Comments/Final Project
Class work will be assigned and done in class either individually or in groups. It cannot be made up if it is missed. Homework is rare, but when assigned is due the next class day and late work will not be accepted. Periodically you will be required to make comments on articles, videos clips or other material posted on the blog. This is a form of class participation and you will be graded on it.
The Final Project is an ongoing assignment which will be due toward the end of the quarter and will be discussed more in class.
Cheating
PlagiarismAccording to the MLA Handbook, “To use another person’s ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the sources is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft.” (p 30)If you do not follow DeAnza’s Colllege official policy of academic integrity you will be failed from the course and turned into the college.
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM will not be tolerated.
Quizzes and Tests
There will be two exams given in this course, one midterm and one final. There will be ten quizzes. Missed quizzes due to tardiness or absenteeism will result in a ‘zero’ grade for that particular quiz and may not be made up.
Late Work/Missed Exams
I do not accept late work. I do not allow for makeup exams, unless you speak with me personally before the exam date.You may not take the final early. Missed quizzes cannot be made up.
Grading
The course grading will be determined as follows:
Midterm 150
Quizzes 100
Class work 50
Blog comments 50
Project 100
Final 150
Total Possible 600
100 – 98% = A+
97 – 93% = A
92 – 90% = A-
89 – 88% =B+
87 – 83% =B
83 – 80% =B-
79 – 78% =C+
77 – 70% =C
69 – 68% =C-
67 – 63% = D
62 – 60 % = D-
59 % and below = F
All percentages will be rounded down. Example: 79.8 = 79% or a C. (See Extra Credit.) No emailed assignments unless requested by the instructor.
Extra Credit
Every student begins the semester with 20 extra credit points. You may keep these points by attending class. Ten points are lost for each absence. If you have extra credit attendance points at the end of the semester, this is to your advantage. The rounding down policy will not apply to you - your grade percentage for the course will be rounded up (74.5 is 75 but 74.4 is still 74).

If mesopotamia was such a great civilization why is it now gone? not being rude, but just wondering why?? I know some of that area has a new name, but why would they change the name?? I would love to live like some of the people their for a week or two. just to see what it was like for people in those times. now a day if we had to survive on our own, we would be so lost and might die.
ReplyDeleteI really liked hearing about all the different foods and seeing all the ways the prepared it. I would like to see more about the daily life then and now it seems so interesting to me to learn of all the different daily activities.
ReplyDeleteI didn't anticipate the part with the man speaking French without subtitles...
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this video mostly because I learned how much our present day civilization owes to the people of the aincent society. Our time, min into seconds, the wheel, writing, tames nature, they loved the arts and built cities! they were crazy amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteits interesting how some aspects of the lifestyle has not changed. things like the water invention to keep the water cool, or how the markets have similar food. its amazing how much the culture was kept the same. i also thought them finding evidence of buildings on that once lived on land was interesting, and how they were crafty people.
ReplyDeleteyeah that guy speaking french. what was he saying??
ReplyDeleteHistory always repeats itself.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that also means that there is the ancestor, in a sense, towards me, you, Sarah Palin, the Paparazzi, Bono, etc., and etc.
i couldn't understand what that french was saying.....
ReplyDeleteI think it is so awesome to know where the concepts of dates and time originated. And to have invented writing? These people were brilliant! Not to mention hard working - I can't imagine anyone today taking the time and energy to build those kinds of structures without any modern technology. Not to get all philosophical, but the inventions of these people (cuneiform, the wheel, etc) confirms that at one point in history someone did in fact have an original thought. Maybe we are capable of such a thing after all.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Civilization, too bad they died out, and its really unfortunate that we don't have any evidence of how their spoken language would be. By the way, I was always under the impression that the wheel was invented earlier? Or at some other time? Clarification please?
ReplyDeleteMan I really enjoyed the information that was provided by this vide. The people of mesopotamia are extremely stong for their ablility to withstand living in such a harsh climate. The french gentalman was kind of difficult to understand. But overall I would say that this video is cool.
ReplyDeleteLoved listening to the music; kept me interested. The video was short but very informative. The livestyles and culture of the Mesopotamian people were very traditional and old fashion. The village people were very close and comfortable with their living conditions. They practices the same duties everyday; cooking preparing food. It was interesting how they made the bread and cooked it.
