The web resource ClassicsWrites demystifies the process of performing academic research and writing in the field of Classics, and covers topics including how to write a good thesis statement, how to write about artifacts, and how to do a close reading. It is a guide for undergraduates students and TFs working in writing focused courses offered by the department and the senior thesis. ClassicsWrites also guides students on their research process, including how to pick appropriate sources, and how to cite ancient sources. It was created by graduate students Sarah Eisen and Steve Shennan, and turned into a website by Sarah in 2022.
