Objectives and
Requirements:
This course is the second step toward a basic reading knowledge of classical
and koine Greek. In the first semester we learned the main
declensions for nouns, adjectives and pronouns, along with the basic
present-tense endings for thematic verbs. Now in the second semester we devote
ourselves to mastering the other major parts of the Greek verbal system--past,
future, and into the subjunctive (leaving perfect and optative for 3rd
semester).
We shall follow much the same approach: work out with the grammar and
vocabulary, and read, read, read!
Keep up your practice in pronunciation, reading and responding aloud in Greek. Try to master the passages in Athenaze with greater clarity: these passages are designed to build comprehension and confidence in reading continuous prose--so that when you turn to read the unabridged text of New Testament and ancient authors, you can proceed with reasonable facility.
The course grade will be the average of 3 quizzes (50%), homework and
in-class exercises (25%); and final exam (25%). You are encouraged to study
together, but homework must be your own work: any evidence of copied homework
will be treated as plagiarism. Any academic dishonesty will be subject to
sanctions (as listed in
Student Academic Integrity, p.4) proportionate to the value of the work. See
also the general Policy Statement.
