Online Classics Courses
Classics is the study of ancient Greek and Roman culture – a history intertwined with the history of the world. Whatever your goals in University and beyond, you can make Classics and the study of the ancient world part of them.

What to expect from your online Classics courses
Wondering what to expect from your online courses? UWinnipeg is using the categories Hybrid Online, Online Asynchronous and Live Online to let you know.
Online Asynchronous:The course is completely asynchronous. All materials will be made available online on Nexus for you to access and study independently. There are no expectations for you to virtually ‘attend’ any classes or sessions.
Hybrid Online:The course is a hybrid of synchronous and asynchronous study. Some materials will be made available online on Nexus for you to access and study independently, but you will also be expected to virtually ‘attend’ some classes or sessions (e.g., group discussions). Any of these ‘live’ sessions would occur during the dates and times listed for the course on WebAdvisor. More detailed information will be available on the course outline, or you can contact the instructor if you have any questions about how the course will run.
Live Online: The course is completely synchronous. You will be expected to virtually ‘attend’ all classes according to the WebAdvisor schedule as though the class were in-person.

Computer workstations and study carrels
There will be computer workstations and carrels set up this term for students who need them, for example, if you have an in-person class preceded or followed immediately by a Zoom class, if you have internet connectivity issues, or if you simply need a quiet space to study. Students are able to book two sessions per week.
Students who wish to access computer workstations or study carrels must pre-book space using thisonline form.
Cleaning happens regularly, but students may be provided with wipes, etc. or can bring their own.
Find more information on theOn-Campus Learning FAQpage.
Writing Centre (Tutoring)
As students are working on assignments and papers are due, the Writing Centre is here to help. The Writing Centre (3G10—3rd floor of Graham Hall) will be offering both in person and online/remote free tutoring this term. Students from all departments are welcome to bring their writing assignments to the Writing Centre for a free consultation with a tutor. Tutors do not edit or fix papers, but help student writers develop the skills to “fix” their own papers.
Students are welcome to email supervisor Kevin Doyle to make a Zoom appointment with a tutor:rhettutor@uwinnipeg.ca
