Course Description and Objectives: This course is the second of a two-semester introduction to the ancient Greek language and historical texts written in it. The course will begin with the alphabet, elements of ancient Greek grammar and syntax and then proceed to increasingly complex readings from historical texts. The objective is for students to be able to read, understand and use historical sources written in Ancient Greek.
Course Requirements and Methodology: Due to the complexity of the subject, students are expected not only to attend all classes, but also to study and prepare the assignments for each class. Preparation for each class is taken into serious consideration in the final assessment.
Assessment: There will be five (5) quizzes during the semester; the average of these five quizzes will make up 10% of the grade. Homework assignments will be collected and will count for 10% of the grade. The mid-term exam will be worth 40% and the final exam will make up the remaining 40% of the total grade.
Make-up exams are only given for medical reasons (rapor required!) or scheduling conflicts with another department (requires a signed note from the department stating the time and date of their exam!). More than one exam on the same day, lack of preparation etc. are NOT acceptable excuses.
Course Materials: Introduction to Attic Greek (1993) – Donald J. Mastronarde (REQUIRED!); Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, Abridged (Highly recommended!).
