Spring 2005
Statement
of Purpose:
The intent
of Beginning Classical Greek is to gain proficiency in the language of ancient
Greece. The emphasis is on
learning to read Greek, with all the attention to grammar and vocabulary that
such an undertaking entails. The
long-range goal is to be able to read a play by Euripides by the second
semester of the course.
Requirements
and Grading
Text: An Introduction to Ancient Greek: A
Literary Approach. By C.A.E
Luschnig
Attendance: DAILY CLASS ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
Should you miss class due to some DIRE emergency, you are still responsible for
the work.
Assignments: Daily assignments will be made in
class. Work will be checked in
class and from time to time collected.
Since each class has special needs and goes at its own pace, no day by
day syllabus is given out at the beginning of the term .uAweeklyoutlineis
posted on the website. CHECK THIS EVERY DAY. We should be through Lesson 7
by the end of the semester.
Testing: Hour tests will be given at the
end of each major unit. This will
mean an hour test every 2-3 weeks, or about 5-7 major tests per term.
Quick quizzes will be given for
learning purposes over smaller amounts of material. These will usually be on Thursdays, but will be announced in
class. Good quiz grades will add points to the hour exams.
No Final examination: Just
one more Hour Test.
Grades: The scores on the Hour Tests will be
averaged together. Quick Quiz grades will be taken into account.
With the last two numbers of any range
being a + grade, the scale is the standard A = 90- l00, B = 80- 89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69.
As the aim
is to learn Greek, grades in a beginning lang uageclassarenotcurved.span

Grading
in Beginning Classical Greek is entirely subjective. Should you have good grades and one disaster, the out of
line grade is discarded. If the
entire class fails to do well on any given test, a second opportunity is
offered. Mercy, Grace, and
Generosity are shown to any student who tries to learn Greek. The aim is to make possible that (truly
noble) goal.
