Any of the papers could be easily swapped for exams and visa versa. In the first half of the course, we concentrated on papers later on we moved to hour exams, because of extensive writing commitments in other courses. We already owned this course, so there were no extra costs you might also find the free program Bones, Stones, and Genes: The Origin of Modern Humans useful, although I have not watched it. We began the course before Professor Aldrete, using the last few lectures of Major Transitions in Evolution (Great Courses #1518). All of the courses go on sale at least once a year, so it may be worth while joining their mailing list and looking for sale and coupon offers. At this time, History of the Ancient World is not available by subscription, but that could change. You can buy the Great Courses as DVDs, online streaming (by the course), or by subscription. My children are very familiar with Greek myths and legends and the Roman world, so we did not cover any of that material. Here’s what we used to accompany this and turn it into a challenging high school course. The biggest problem I find using them is narrowing down the reading list to something achievable for my students. The Great Courses lectures are aimed at introductory college level and come with lengthy reading lists. All of the book links are available in my store – please consider buying from there, as it helps pay for this syllabus at no cost to you. Please bookmark the page to be notified of updates. I will publish it now, but continue to update the links and add the specific exam questions.
