OVERVIEW

In this course, students continue learning the basics of ancient Greek, reading major classical writers and encountering Greek culture and thought. 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

Completion of Greek 101 or the equivalent.

READINGS

The required text is the following:

  • C.W. Shelmerdine, Introduction to Greek. 2nd ed. Focus Publishing, 2008.
The book may be available in the bookstore, though you probably can find it cheaper at amazon, Barnes & Noble or abe Books. *Please make sure that you have the proper edition of these texts.*

Any additional reading assignments for this course will be provided to you in class, emailed to you or made available on the Greek 102 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 102, 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 (15%): 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 (= 4 classes) 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.

  • 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 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 36 of these in Greek 102. HW will be 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. Your lowest 6 HW grades will be dropped. One final note about homework: PLEASE SKIP LINES! This allows me room to make comments.
  • Quizzes (15%): There are 34 quizzes (generally no more than 5–10 minutes in length) in Greek 101. These will occur at least twice a week and will cover form generation, translation and vocabulary. Buy some flash cards and start memorizing! Your lowest 6 quiz grades will be dropped. (Note: If you miss a quiz, you can make it up in my office before the next class session. Otherwise, it's a zero.)
  • Hour Exams (30%, 10% each): There will be three hour exams in this course. They will occur on Monday, February 10; Wednesday, March 5; and Tuesday, April 8. 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. Do not miss the exams.
  • Final Exam (15%): The final exam is scheduled for Friday, May 9 from 3:30–5:30 p.m. Do not miss it.

*Please note: It is Classics Department policy that all students enrolled in Greek 102 receive regular letter grades. That is, pass/fail grading is not available for Greek 102. If you have enrolled for Greek 102 pass/fail, you will be forced to change to regular (i.e., letter) grading.*

OTHER INFO

My office hours for the spring semester are M–Th, noon–1 p.m. They will be held in my office (#215) in the Classiscs Department, which is on the second floor of the thrillingly-named Learning Services Building. You are also welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to meet with me. Call, email or holler.

Please note: there is a Greek 102 D2L site. Grades will be posted on D2L, as will the occasional handout/review sheet. If you are unfamiliar with D2L, please get familiar soon!

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

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.)

COURSE SCHEDULE

What follows is a sketch outline of the spring semester. 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.
