In this class we've studied prehistoric art up to early renaissance. This is my very first lecture class and has about 100 students in the hall. Things move quite quickly. So you either have to be a fast typer or just really well prepared - I tend to fall under the former category.
Other than the piles on historic knowledge embedded in my brain, I've learned it's best not to sleep during class and that if there's one place to have a cell phone go off that certainly isn't the place.
The picture is the Winged Victory of Samothrace from 3rd century Greek art. Was meant to represent the Greek goddess Nike (or Victory).
