Study Guide for Quiz # 4
Humanities 120

 

This quiz will cover Chapter 7 and 8 and the reading selections from Beowulf, from the Qu’ran, from The Arabian Nights, and from Rumi.  Although you are responsible for all the material in the chapters, the quiz will focus on what has been emphasized in class.   The quiz will be similar in format to all the earlier quizzes.

 

I recommend that you review the following:

 1.      Study the map on page 184 and 204.  I will give you a map and ask you to write in the names of some important areas, cities, and bodies of water.  In your studies, you should emphasize the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Black Sea, the Arabian peninsula, Rome, Ravenna, Constantinople, Damascus, Baghdad, Basra, Medina, Mecca, Cairo, Damascus, Granada, Cordova.

2.      Be prepared to name the culture within which various works of art of architecture were produced.  Byzantine and Islamic will be added to the earlier list of choices.  You should also be prepared to identify Hagia Sofia,  Church of San Vitale, the Dome of the Rock, Ibn Tulun Mosque, and the Alhambra by name.

3.      For each culture that we have discussed, review the major historical events.  (You do not have to worry about exact dates.)  For each culture, be sure that you understand the relationship between religious and philosophical ideas and art and literature.  There may be questions taken from the website.

4.      Be sure you can identify the following people: Diocletian, Constantine, Arius, Athanasius, Odoacer, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, Leo III, Justinian, Anna Comnena, Charlemagne, Muhammad, Khadija, Fatima, Ali, Abu Bakr, Saladin, Ibn Rushd, Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Khaldun, Muhammed Al Razi, Rumi.

5.      Be sure you know the cultural terms listed at the end of the chapters.

6.      There will be an emphasis on understanding the basic ideas and practices of Islam.
