General Outline: This course will complete the introduction of the basic grammar and syntax of the ancient Greek language and begin the transition towards reading unadapted Greek prose and poetry. In the first half of the course, the remaining grammar lessons in Athenaze II will be completed. In the second half of the course, unadapted selections from the New Testament will be read, while knowledge of grammar and vocabulary is consolidated. Prescribed Texts: M. Balme and G. Lawall, Athenaze II: An Introduction to Ancient Greek, Oxford, Campbell, M., A Basic Greek Prose Vocabulary, Bristol, Suggested Text: An Intermediate Greek English Lexicon: Founded Upon the Seventh Edition of Liddell and Scott s Greek English Lexicon, Oxford, Evaluation: 40% Quizzes (4 x 10%) 20% Midterm Test 25% Final Test 15% Class Participation (attendance, participation, homework assignments) The course will be evaluated on the basis of the scheme listed above. The four quizzes will take place on Monday October 4 th, Friday October 15 th, Monday November 8 th, and Monday November 29 th. The Midterm will take place on Monday October 25 th. The date of the Final Test is Monday December 6 th. It is expected that you will attend all classes, unless you are unable to do so for a justified reason (in which case please contact me), and that you will complete all of the homework assignments. Credit will be awarded for the completion of assignments regardless of accuracy: one needs to make mistakes in order to learn, and homework assignments are your opportunity to make those mistakes without penalty. Academic Integrity: Students are expected to abide by the University of Waterloo s Academic Integrity Vision Statement: To create and promote a culture of academic integrity, the behaviour of all members of the University of Waterloo should be based on honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Academic offences, such as plagiarism or cheating, will not be tolerated in any form. For more information on academic offences, please consult Policy 71, available on the registrar s website:

2 If you have any questions or concerns regarding what constitutes an academic offence please contact me immediately. Ignorance is not an excuse. Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70 - Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4: Appeals: A student may appeal the finding and/or penalty in a decision made under Policy 70 - Student Petitions and Grievances (other than regarding a petition) or Policy 71 - Student Discipline if a ground for an appeal can be established. Read Policy 72 - Student Appeals: Disabilities: The Office for Persons with Disabilities, located in Needles Hall room 1132 provides support, advice, and academic accommodations for students with disabilities. If you have a disability please contact and register with OPD. We are here to help and will make arrangements that best facilitate your learning. Religious Holidays and Examination Scheduling: The University policy on the scheduling of examinations and religious holidays is the following: The University acknowledges that, due to the pluralistic nature of the University community, some students may on religious grounds require alternative times to write tests and examinations. Accordingly, a student who requires an alternative test or examination time on religious grounds, should consult with the Associate Dean of the Faculty offering the course regarding alternative arrangements. Such a request should be made within one week of the announcement of the test or examination date. All of the test dates throughout the term, with the exception of the final examination, are listed on your syllabus. Please review these carefully and contact me immediately if you anticipate a conflict, so that we can make alternative arrangements. Policy: is an excellent way to contact me outside of office hours. I check it regularly and do my best to respond promptly, within one working day. Do take care that messages to me contain a proper address and signature. Syllabus and Study: The syllabus indicates for each day the material that will be reviewed, the new material that will be introduced, and the assignment due for the next class. It is expected that you will complete all of the assignments and be prepared to participate in each class. It is also expected that you will spend time each day reviewing and learning the new grammatical forms and structures introduced, as well as the vocabulary at the beginning of each chapter. In the first half of the course, as we are completing chapters in Athenaze, it is also expected that you will read the sections of text at the beginning of each chapter, even if this is not specifically assigned on a given day. If you are uncertain of any topic covered and need further help, please contact me as soon as possible. I am here to help and want you to succeed.
