You should do all assigned reading before each class meeting. Be aware are complicated readings assigned each week. This task is not daunting if you can actively read ca.20 pages before each class (ca.1.5 hr). Most readings for this course derive from the textbook and sourcebook (or CR), with additional primary (ancient) texts found on Blackboard and the course website.
