Site, History, Type, and Allegory: The Poetics and Rhetoric of the Classical Tradition in Rome Notes on attendance and out of class visits: since each class will involve a substantial amount of walking, we need to begin on time; some classes may not begin at via Monterone but instead at one of our sites; therefore, it is incumbent on you to confirm where the next class will meet before we end the previous class; late arrivals will count as absences, and after three unexcused absences you will be subject to a failing grade for the semester. Out of class visits are required both for your notebooks and for research toward your final project. ORGANIZATION OF SITE VISITS IN AND OUT OF CLASS BY THEMES: SITE in class out of class I.
