THREE GREAT WAYS TO GET IT "CHEAP" and save a
bunch of money
1. FH Bookstore "may" have
used.
2. Go Online to Amazon
and get it used. Do it now before they are gone. I saw
at least 15 for under $10.
3. And/OR Use the EBook - You
only need the First 6 Chapters GO HERE
<
https://www.cengagebrain.com > Then put
in the author's name: Jackson Spielvogel, and the edition you
want is Here < https://www.cengagebrain.com/shop/isbn/9780495099741 >.
The 6 chapters you need are $5.49 each
or $38.
READ IT AS A NOVEL. DO NOT MEMORIZE BUT THINK.
Pay careful attention to each chapter's introduction and conclusion -
Introduction, xxix-xxx - read twice! You will only use the first 6 chapters
- to the end of Rome
B. Look AT THE AMAZING ANCIENT WORLD WEB BOOK- The Substitute for Classroom Lectures HERE
C. Send form and your email to professor quickly. DON'T WAIT until class begins OR YOU MAY BE DROPPED.

GRADING IN THIS COURSE REQUIREMENT: YOU MUST SUBMIT ALL THREE ASSIGNMENTS - 3 MINI PAPER EXAMS AND 1 OTHER BOOK PROJECT. IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN "F" IN THE COURSE.
GRADES: !!! THERE ARE ONLY 4 "THINGS" YOU NEED TO DO DURING THE QUARTER

2. Other Book Analysis: 25%
FOR THOSE NEW TO ONLINE COURSES: THIS COURSE COMPARED TO A "REGULAR" College DAY COURSE?
In the Web Course, students have more
time flexibility
. However, there is NO flexibility on the dates when exams
and paper must be submitted. This course is a "regular" course.
Assignments must be in on time or receive an very reduced grade, even if a
student is "on vacation."
STUDENTS SPEND THE 40+ HOURS
"INCLASS" ON THE WEB BOOK AND WILL NEED TO SHOW THEY DID
. The "in -class" is, of course, in addition to the time they spend
"out-of-class" doing their papers and exams.
