Brek-ek-ek-ek-coax-coax... and welcome to Roman Keyline Blog! You have just crossed the river Styx and are ready to join Aeschylus and Euripides in a great line contest. Fortunately for you, you don't have to invent your own lines. Most of the time, I'll just ask you to pick out a great line from whatever Roman writer we happen to be studying in History 422 and explain why this line is key to understanding the whole work or particularly worth remembering and applying to real life.For this first post, you don't need to have done any of the readings. Just introduce yourself and explain why are taking this course.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jazmine Ackerman. I am 24 years old, majoring in History and minoring in Business, and I am a senior (which is a little crazy to say!). I have lived in Aberdeen for practically all my life, with some gaps here and there.
I am taking this course because it sounded more fun and interesting than some of the other options. And, admittedly, I wanted to take my final year at NSU easy. While some may argue I should have taken harder or more challenging courses so I can, "Go out with a bang" (so to say), I am frankly very tired.
Pairing school with working full-time was not a smart move for someone as tired as I already was.
So if me taking a course that will be relatively simple is cowardly, then call me a coward. I can admit it!
I look forward to this class!
Hello, my name is Dwight Kinney. I am in my 4th year of college, but this is my second semester here at Northern. I am majoring in social studies education to become a high school history teacher. I am taking this course partly because I need it for my major but also because I love learning about Ancient Rome. I am looking forward to learning in this class!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Dylan Schimke, and I am in my last semester of college. I am taking this class because I have always found ancient Rome interesting and I wanted to get a deeper dive when we went over it in Western Civ 1. This being my last semester, I figured I should take all the classes I want before leaving because I do not plan on returning to school.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone, I'm Kyle. I'm a sophomore here at NSU, and I am currently undecided on a major, but a history major is definitely one of my main options right now. One thing I know for certain is that I love learning about history. I took Western Civ 1 last year, and I loved it. Furthermore, I want to dive deeper into the study of Ancient Rome, which is mainly why I'm here.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jake Robel, I am a Junior at northern. I'm majoring in Secondary Education in Social Science. I chose this class due to my interest in Rome during my Western Civ I class. This also fulfills some of my remaining history requirements. I think it will be interesting to go even more in depth into such a keystone civilization.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is LilliAnne. I'm in my sophomore year, and I'm majoring in history. I'm taking this class for my major, since I enjoy learning, I have an interest in Rome, and I want to learn more about the civilization.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Xavier Kadlec, I am a sophomore at northern. I'm majoring in Secondary History Education. I chose this class because I have always loved history and all of the exciting stories from the past. I am looking forward to understanding more about ancient Rome.
ReplyDeleteMy Name is Andrew Brennan. I am a junior at Northern and I am majoring in History. The reason I am taking this course is because I have a fascination without ancient societies and it fills a history requirement. There is so much we learn from people before us.
ReplyDeleteHey my name is Mitch Rux. I am Junior at Northern and majoring in Secondary Education in Social Sciences. I am taking Ancient Rome because I love this portion of history, and I have even been to Rome so I'd love connecting the dots to things I've seen and experienced.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Drew Henriksen I'm a junior here at northern majoring in History education. I find this era of history very interesting and i took this class because of that and because I wanted to learn even more than what we learned in your western civ classes.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Emily Ekanger. I think I am listed as a freshman at NSU, but I have already finished a year of college credit in high school, so it's like I am starting as a sophomore. I am taking this class because I love history and really enjoyed the classes I took with Marmorstein before. I think Ancient Rome was an interesting culture, and I look forward to learning more about it.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is miles and I'm a history secondary education major and this is my second year of northern. when i discovered my love for history it was for the ancient empires and really anything that wasn't American history. Rome is no different and when i saw that Art was teaching a class on it, it was a no brainer.
