OVERVIEW

In this course, students learn the basic grammar and syntax of ancient Greek. The five-week course is the equivalent of Greek 101 and 102. There is no assumption that students enrolled in Greek 102 have studied Latin.

GOALS

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

Translate basic Attic Greek sentences.
Identify and comprehend both simple and complex Greek constructions.
Recite Greek prose with confidence and polish.
Read short passages of continuous Greek prose successfully (with the help of a dictionary).

PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites.

READINGS

The required text is the following:

Hardy Hansen and Gerald Quinn, Greek: An Intensive Course, 2nd revised ed. Fordham UP, 1992.

The text will be available in the U of A Bookstore. You might also want to try amazon, Barnes & Noble or abe Books (vel sim.), where you can probably find cheaper copies, both new and used. *Please make sure that you have the proper edition of this text.*

Any additional reading assignments for this course will be provided to you in class, emailed to you or made available on the Greek 112 D2L site (see below). To view/download them, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download available here).

If you plan to continue with Greek beyond Greek 112, you will eventually need to purchase Liddell and Scott's Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon (the so-called "Middle Liddell;" 7th edition: Oxford UP, 1959). Smaller (the "Little Liddell") and larger (the "Great Scott" - ha ha ha!) editions are also available. You will also eventually need a copy of Herbert W. Smyth's Greek Grammar (revised edition: Harvard UP, 1983), a must for thorough study of the language. The Bookstore may have copies of both/one of these texts. If not, they are widely available online.

GRADING

Grading for the course will be based on the following breakdown:

Attendance (10%): How often you come to class (duh). Your grade for attendance = the number of hours you actually spend in the classroom / the total number of hours you're scheduled to spend in the classroom. There are no exceptions to this policy, but I will allow you to make up up to four hours (= 1 class) of missed time. The only way to do this is a 1/1 time trade (i.e., you'll spend however many hours you missed—up to four —in my office doing Greek-related work). The only way you're going to learn Greek during this crazy 5-week period is to immerse yourself in the language both in class and out. So why not come hang out with your fellow sufferers?
Participation (10%): The quality and quantity of your participation in class discussions. I expect you to actively engage in class discussions! To a degree, your participation will be forced (as I, and the TA, will call on you). But I also expect you to volunteer to translate passages, do drills, write on the board, etc. If you do not, your grade will suffer.

Homework (15%): Nightly homework assignments from the textbook. There are 20 of these over the course of the course (ha ha!). Your lowest four homework scores will be dropped. HW is collected at the beginning of class and corrected. You will have the opportunity in class to ask questions about homework assignments before handing them in. We will address any serious problems with homework assignments in class.

Quizzes (15%): Quizzes will occur during the first hour of every class, save for exam days and during the last week of class. There are 15 of these over the course of the session, and your lowest three quiz grades will be dropped. Quizzes will cover form generation, translation and vocabulary (buy some flash cards and start memorizing!). If you miss a quiz, you must make it up during office hours or at another mutually agreed-upon time before the next class.

Exams (50%, 10% each): There will be five in-class hour exams in this course. These will occur on Friday, June 7; Friday, June 14; Friday, June 21; Friday, June 28 and Wednesday, July 3. The exams will cover all material read and discussed in the course over a specific period of time and will consist of identification and generation of forms, declension, conjugation and translation. If you miss an exam, you cannot make it up unless you have a documented medical emergency.

*Please note: It is Classics Department policy that all students enrolled in Greek 112 receive regular letter grades. That is, pass/fail grading is not available for Greek 112. If you have enrolled for Greek 112 pass/fail, you will need to change to regular letter grading.*

OTHER INFO

Surprise! Cheating is not allowed. If you cheat, and I find out, you will receive a grade of 0 for the assignment and other bad things will happen. (See the U of A's code of academic integrity.)

Office hours will be held M–F, 10:45 a.m.–11:45 a.m. in my office (#215) in the Classics Department (on the second floor of the blandly-named Learning Services Building). You are also welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to meet with me. Call, email or holler.

The TA for Greek 112 will be BLAH (BLAH@email.arizona.edu), a BLAH. In addition to grading most/all of your written work, BLAH will be helping out in class with review and will also be happy to answer your questions both in class and during his/her office hours, which will be held M–F, 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. and by appointment in the Classics Department (address above). Do not hesitate to approach him/her for help!

Speaking of grades, BLAH will enter all of your grades on the Greek 112 D2L site. If you're not familiar with D2L, the University's course content management system (basically the Pepsi version of Blackboard), get familiar! I will post updates about the course on the D2L homepage, put handouts up for download and use D2L email to contact all enrolled students.

Students with disabilities should contact the UA Disability Resource Center (520 621-3268) for any special needs or accommodations.

COURSE SCHEDULE

What follows is a sketch outline of the first Summer Session. Assignments are due on the dates specified. On most nights, you'll read a section of the textbook, prepare a reading in Greek, memorize and/or review a number of forms, practice vocabulary and do a number of written exercises.

Check this page often. Readings and assignments are subject to change. I'll try to give a heads-up in class if a major shake-up is imminent. I'll also try to have any supplementary readings posted at least a couple of days before the due date.
