Dr. Shirley's Greek Courses
GR 201 - Beginning Greek
The following information is provided as a general guide for the students of
GR 201.
If the schedule needs to be adjusted, students will be informed at the appropriate time.
This page gives the subjects to be covered each week, with the relevant text-book and other
readings.
There will be a Quiz every week (except for Week 1), given at the start the first session of the week, on topics to be announced - generally on the material which was covered in the preceding week.
During or before the first week of the semester, students are asked to complete the assignments given on the Preparation Page for the Course
In order to see the Greek words correctly,
SPIonic.ttf should be downloaded and installed in your font folder.
Note on printing Web Pages containing SPIonic : although SPIonic displays Greek words correctly on screen, there is a problem with some printers putting a space between a rough or a smooth breathing and the rest of the word. Similar or even worse problems are also encountered for most of the other Greek fonts currently available. Please check any printed copies you make, and correct them to what is shown on the screen.
