I put the example essay from the midterm on WebCT — that way the whole world can’t get to it  — just our class.
The 2nd powerpoint project is due this Thursday at 6pm, just like last week.
Someone showed me that Monday August 6 is the last day of the UTA summer II semester. So we [...]

In case you haven’t already seen it, I have graded your Powerpoint projects. The grades are in WebCT and the Powerpoint file itself should be accessible to you in an email I just sent you. The email has [or should have] a link that you can use to download the file and read my comments. [...]

Check out our WebCT page if you want an example of a Powerpoint project that I would grade as a B+. You’ll also find the webcast of my explanation of the Powerpoint project, as well as the webcast of the silk road lecture.

I’ve posted the Greek Powerpoint on webct.uta.edu. Please let me know if you’re having trouble accessing that site! And here’s another interesting website with primary sources: http://www.ucc.ie/celt/

This material is available in Powerpoint and MP3 format, as well as in the flash-movie slide-show. To get it, log into webct.uta.edu!

For some reason I can’t get the audio track from today’s lecture to play … so we only have the Powerpoint. I put that file — and the two others– into WebCT, if you’re interested!
Don’t forget tomorrow’s map quiz.
I put Paul Halsall’s primary source webpage into the blogroll — here it is again.

Here is Tuesday’s lecture [July 10], which didn’t quite make it to the Harappan civilization of Pakistan’s Indus Valley.But we did look at 3 states that emerged in the 1st and 2nd millennium in the Mediterranean that were NOT river civilizations, yet still created a distinctive identity: the Hittite empire, the Hebrews, and Crete. Here’s [...]

I was trying to clear some space on my laptop and accidentally deleted the recording of today’s lecture on Mesopotamia and Egypt. Tomorrow I’ll get it right. Anyway, for those who wanted the slides, here’s the Powerpoint file.
