Description:	This course uses role-playing games to explore the reputation and the reality of the medieval Vikings. The games will include a Viking raid on a monastery and establishing a new settlement. You will act out a specific role, such as a Viking raider; the games require your active participation.
Learning Goals:	Students will become aware of the responsibilities to community shared by all humans, regardless of geographical location or language of origin. Students will read complex texts and learn to summarize, identify and explain key points, and identify questions raised by the texts. Students will defend their ideas before the rest of the class by actively participating in class discussions, and will lead class discussions on occasion. Students will develop their own ideas when writing about the primary texts and make convincing arguments, using textual evidence, for those ideas. Students will learn correct citation techniques for the texts covered in the course, and will produce properly formatted and cited essays. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
