GREEK 401 is an ancient Greek literature course in which students will read selections from various genres. Students also will read in English additional selections of the authors they are studying. The overall goal of the course is to increase the ease and fluency of advanced-level students with ancient Greek. Although students will be expected to enter the class with a comfortable level of reading skill as acquired in GREEK 003 or 102 or their equivalent, the course will include grammar and building vocabulary. By the end of the course, it is expected that students will be able to read Greek fluently, and be able to analyze grammatical structures.
Students' work in the course will be evaluated based on class participation, several in-class quizzes and tests, and a final examination. GREEK 401 is one of a series of advanced Greek poetry and prose courses that allow students to gain skill and knowledge about a range of ancient Greek literature. GREEK 401 may be used to fulfill several requirements for the CAMS major including the requirement of courses in Greek or Roman language, literature, or archaeology and a 400-level course in a related area. The course is particularly designed for students who select the Language Option of the major, which requires four courses at the 400-level in Greek or Latin. The course will be offered every other year with 20 seats per offering.
Note : Class size, frequency of offering, and evaluation methods will vary by location and instructor. For these details check the specific course syllabus.
