Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
A study of the many diverse peoples, languages, and regions of the European continent from the origins of civilization until the mid-16th century. Breadth-Humanities.
COURSE DETAILS:
HUM 105 introduces you to the diverse peoples, languages, and regions of the European continent, from the origins of civilization to the middle of the 16th century. It's a chance to visit the storied civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome; to meet, among others, Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, and Leonardo da Vinci; and to explore the soaring heights of a gothic cathedral and the devastating effects of the Black Death. But it is also a way to learn about the world you live in today. Through themes like mass migration, religious and cultural diversity, and the "many Europes" of the course title, you'll investigate the past in ways that illuminate our present. As you do, you'll learn to read and write about a rich collection of sources (including historical documents, works of literature, art and artifacts); and in the context of small, weekly tutorials, you'll learn to analyze these sources alongside your classmates. In both the skills and the content it offers, HUM 105 gives you excellent preparation for a wide range of upper level courses in the history and culture of Europe and beyond.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
