Additional sources may be sought from books and peer-reviewed journals, including online peer-reviewed journals.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

As mentioned above (see "Ziele, Inhalte und Methode"), students should come out of this course with a solid understanding of the major periods of the history of South Arabia from the Bronze Age to early Islam, together with a working knowledge of the material culture, society, and religious traditions of South Arabia during the time-fame covered in the course. Grading will be based on in-class participation and performance in the presentation and final paper.
The grading system is as follows:
5--0-52: not enough (not keeping up with readings, presentation and/or paper unorganized and full of inaccuracies)
4--53-65: enough (reading only when you feel like it, presentation and/or paper somewhat better organized but still has inaccuracies)
3--66-77: satisfactory (keeping up with the readings but without retaining information, presentation and/or paper passable but still not that great)
2--78-90: good (keeping up with the readings, presentation and/or paper could be improved in terms of organization but otherwise okay)
1--91-100: very good (keeping up with the readings, presentation and/or paper has only minor errors, if any)
