Course Description

The third in a sequence of courses designed to help students move toward the goal of reading ancient Greek texts directly in the target language. For pedagogical purposes grounded in research on second- language acquisition, students will not only read but will also write, speak, and listen to ancient Greek. By the completion of the course, students will be able to read simple narrative texts and summarize them both orally and in writing (in Greek).

Learning Objectives GRK 300-700 Fall 2019 Page 2

As we devote ourselves to the task of beginning to learn the Greek language together this year, we expect that several important things will happen (many, but not all of them, directly related to the Greek language). GRK 300 is the third in a sequence of courses designed to prepare students to read ancient Greek texts (with a focus on the Hellenistic period) without a lexicon. Instead of concentrating on grammar and translation from Greek into English, our primary goal is to internalize the language so that we read for understanding, as we do in our own language. Since our aim is to work towards fluency in the language, we will not only read but also listen to, speak, and write ancient Greek. Along the way, we’ll be reminded of the necessity of disciplined individual study habits, but also of the joy of learning together and we’ll have repeated opportunities to reflect upon how languages, including our own, ‘work’.

College Calendar

Students are expected to be aware of the policies that govern course work at Briercrest College. Please refer to the College Calendar: https://www.briercrestcollege.ca/academics/calendar/

Attendance (Semester Course) All students missing more than two full weeks of a particular course from registration to the last day of classes will receive an automatic fail (0%).

Attendance (Modular Course) All students missing more than four hours of a modular class will receive an automatic fail, “F” (0%).

Final Exams Students are allowed 3 hours to write their final exams. Students must write their final exams as scheduled. ALL final exams are mandatory. Failure to write a final exam will result in an “F” (0%) for the course.

Late Assignments Though individual faculty members may disallow late assignments at their discretion, the following is a statement of policy concerning late assignments:

• All assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the assigned day. • Typically, late assignments will receive a penalty of five per cent per weekday to a maximum of 25 per cent deducted from the total assignment mark. After five weekdays, no late assignments will be accepted, and the grade for that assignment will be zero. • Individual faculty members may articulate a modification of this policy, provided it is both approved by the dean of the faculty in which the course is located and stated clearly in the course syllabus.

Assignment Extension Policy • Individual faculty members may grant extensions, but rarely and only in unusually extenuating circumstances. They will not grant extensions due to other assignments or co-curricular involvement. • Faculty members do not have the authority to grant extensions beyond 5:00 p.m. of the last day of classes in the semester.

GRK 300-700 Fall 2019 Page 5

Editing Another person(s) may read your written work, point out errors or shortcomings (i.e. grammatical errors, structural issues, citations, etc.), and discuss generic solutions, without providing any specific wording to the assignment (i.e. “write x instead of y”).

Academic Honesty Please refer to pages 19-21 in the College Calendar.

Academic Accommodations Any student with a disability, injury, or health condition who may need academic accommodations (permanent or temporary) should discuss them with the course instructor after contacting the Director of the Academic Resource Centre in person (L234 in the Library), by telephone (1-306-756-3230) or by email ([email protected]). Documentation from a qualified practitioner will be required (i.e., medical doctor, psychologist, etc.).

Briercrest EArly CONnections (BEACON) At Briercrest, we are a community of learning. Part of being a community means caring for one another. As such, if it is observed that students may benefit from additional support during the semester, they may be referred to the BEACON (Briercrest EArly CONnections) program. If referred, students will receive an email inviting them to access academic supports. Accessing academic supports is voluntary. Both the referral and/or use of supports is confidential. Neither will appear on academic records.
