Dumbarton Oaks Professor of Byzantine History Angeliki E. Laiou will lecture on the Crusades in B-11. Guessing the Greek...

None of the answers can be taken straight out of the textbook, and you'll find yourself often making educated guesses. On the plus side, you'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's returned—the grading is fairly easy. Another tip: during the review sessions in May, just put on your best sad puppy dog face and appeal...
