Course Description

This course is the continuation of GR 201 & GR 202 - introduction to the Fundamentals of the Greek Language. Class will consist of translation and discussion of prepared passages from the Greek New Testament, various activities, and class discussion. Since a large amount and a wide range of material will be covered during each class meeting, regular attendance is necessary to do well in the class. Roll will be taken, and a student who is consistently absent should expect a lower grade.

Objectives of the Course

To enable the student :

• to gain facility in the reading and translation of the Greek New Testament.
• to continue to learn the vocabulary and grammar of the Greek language.
• to develop exegetical skills for reading the New Testament.
• to encounter Hebraicisms in the Greek New Testament.
• to continue reading the Greek New Testament.

Student Expectations

Students are expected to complete all assignments on time, and to spend some time each day in reading and learning the language. A Quiz on pre-announced topics may be given at the start of every Monday session.
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Students should refer to the university catalogue or go here for a definition of academic dishonesty and its penalties.
Grades will be based on exams, and class assignments. The Final Exam will be given during Finals' Week at the end of the semester. Students are expected to take exams at the times scheduled. Students who cannot take an exam at the scheduled time are expected to take the exam at an earlier time. Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require special arrangements in order to meet the course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible so that necessary accommodations may be made.
