Texts and Materials: Balme & Lawall, Athenaze (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.
