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.
