{"ModuleCode":"GEM1034","ModuleTitle":"Jr Sem: The Crusades in History","Department":"College Of Alice & Peter Tan","ModuleDescription":"The Crusades have arguably had a greater impact on inter-faith relations than any other single historical event. This module seeks to understand the original Crusades in their political, social, and religious context and to understand how they have shaped relations between followers of the three Abrahamic faiths, particularly in the modern period. The course will seek to move beyond stereotypes to have a greater understanding of the issues involved, in the belief that a more balanced view of history promotes greater religious harmony in society.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-3-4","Preclusion":"This module is currently open only to students of the College of Alice & Peter Tan, University Town","Types":["GEM"],"CorsBiddingStats":[{"AcadYear":"2013/2014","Semester":"1","Round":"3A","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 1","Quota":"2","Bidders":"1","LowestBid":"399","LowestSuccessfulBid":"1","HighestBid":"399","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [P]"},{"AcadYear":"2013/2014","Semester":"1","Round":"3A","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 2","Quota":"4","Bidders":"0","LowestBid":"0","LowestSuccessfulBid":"0","HighestBid":"0","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [P]"},{"AcadYear":"2013/2014","Semester":"1","Round":"3B","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 1","Quota":"1","Bidders":"1","LowestBid":"1","LowestSuccessfulBid":"1","HighestBid":"1","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [P]"},{"AcadYear":"2013/2014","Semester":"1","Round":"3B","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 2","Quota":"4","Bidders":"1","LowestBid":"1","LowestSuccessfulBid":"1","HighestBid":"1","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [P]"},{"AcadYear":"2012/2013","Semester":"1","Round":"2A","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 1","Quota":"2","Bidders":"2","LowestBid":"5","LowestSuccessfulBid":"1","HighestBid":"400","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"Returning Students [P]"},{"AcadYear":"2012/2013","Semester":"1","Round":"2A","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 2","Quota":"2","Bidders":"4","LowestBid":"126","LowestSuccessfulBid":"399","HighestBid":"400","Faculty":"Non-Faculty-Based Departments","StudentAcctType":"Returning Students [P]"}],"AcadYear":"2014/2015","History":[{"Semester":1,"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Thursday","StartTime":"1600","EndTime":"1900","Venue":"CAPT-SR5"}],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"b556316f-b48d-48cf-9336-f1195595de55","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"GEM1034","CourseName":"JR SEM: THE CRUSADES IN HISTORY","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1404183360000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2014-07-01T10:56:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1417795200000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2014-12-06T00:00:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Daniel Jew","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"ffef56bd-c3e8-40b5-bc0e-66ff72675cb6","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"e9541715-b805-42d8-8f0f-c79d968baa33","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Daniel Jew","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"ffef56bd-c3e8-40b5-bc0e-66ff72675cb6","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":"You are very welcome to:

\r\nAs part of CAPT’s focus on community outreach and community engagement, this seminar is focused on relations between the Christian and Muslim faith communities. The Crusades have arguably had a greater impact on those relations than any other event in history. This semester we will study the Crusades and the way they have been perceived by people from different countries and different faiths in later generations. We will work on clearing up misunderstandings and misperceptions from the distant past up until the present to have a better and more accurate understanding of the Crusades' legacy. We will look at different episodes or "snapshots" of world history to understand relations between the Christian and Muslim worlds.
\r\n
\r\nThis seminar will consist of a combination of short lectures, discussions, and student-led debates. The lectures help explain the history of the Crusades as well as the historical events in later centuries which revived the memories of the Crusades among Christian and/or Muslim communities. Generally speaking, each week's debates and discussion will cover the topic of the previous week's lecture, so that you will have a chance to digest and reflect from one week to another, and to prepare for debates.
