Texts
and Materials: Balme & Lawall, Athenaze 2 (Oxford
2003) vol. II. You should also have Liddell & Scott, An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon.
Additional readings and exercises will be provided in handout and online.
This material should present accurately
in any Unicode extended font that has the full set of Greek characters, such as
Palatino Linotype (Windows), Times for Mac, Lucida Grande, or (esp. recommended)
Gentium.
Audio files
are provided in mp3 format and may be copied.
Objectives
and Requirements:
This course is the third step toward a
basic reading knowledge of classical and koine
Greek. We begin with a review of essential vocabulary and grammar from
previous semesters, and then move on to more complex
constructions--subjunctives, indirect statement, etc. After Quiz 2 we will pick
up the pace of the grammar survey and dispense with some of the regular
readings in Athenaze, in order to read more excerpts from New Testament and
historical narratives (esp. Josephus).
Keep up your
practice in pronunciation, reading and responding aloud in Greek. Try to master
the reading passages for clear and accurate translation; but don't be stumped
by the odd word or phrase--Read On!
The course grade will be an average of (4) quizzes (50%), homework
and in-class exercises (25%), and Final Exam (25%)
Cooperative
learning and integrity. 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.
Special considerations: We strongly support University policies to
accommodate students with disabilities and to prevent or remedy discrimination
of any kind. If you have a concern or special need, please advise the
instructor. In
regard to disabilities, you may also contact Disability Services (836-4192)
http://www.missouristate.edu/disability; regarding discrimination, the Equal Opportunity Officer (836-4252)
or go to http://www.missouristate.edu/human/eoaa.htm.
Thorough preparation and active participation is absolutely
essential.
