Greek 4
Spring 2011
Student Learning Outcomes. Upon successful completion of the course,
 Students will be able to read, translate and interpret ancient Greek texts at an intermediate level.
 Students will develop an enhanced understanding of written and spoken English
 Students will develop an understanding of other cultural traditions, expanding their cultural experience and
being presented with fresh perspectives on their own cultural assumptions and traditions
 Students will develop an understanding of human experiences and cultures through close reading and
critical analysis of our histories, literatures, languages, ideas and values
In preparing each assignment, please consult whatever secondary works and commentaries that you may have, and
bring such works with you to class. We will do more than merely translate in class.
Requirements:
Three translation examinations, including grammar questions: 25% each (75%)
Class participation (25%)
Class participation: Regular preparation and class participation are expected, and will affect your grade. Foreign
language study is such that certain aspects of one's performance cannot be judged by examinations, but rather by
class performance. 25% of your final grade will be based upon daily class participation. Effective class participation
assumes preparation of daily assignments before class, and therefore submitted homework will be part of the
assessment.
Class attendance. Students are expected to go to class regularly.
Accommodations for students with disabilities: Southwestern University is committed to assisting students with
disabilities. Southwestern University will make reasonable accommodations for students with documented
disabilities. To arrange accommodations students should contact Kimele Carter, the Academic Services Coordinator
within the Office of Academic Success, PRC 120; phone 863-1536; e-mail carterk@southwestern.edu). Students
seeking accommodations should notify the Academic Services Coordinator at least two weeks before services are
needed. It is the student’s responsibility to discuss any necessary accommodations with the appropriate faculty
member.
Final grades. The plus and minus grading system will be used for final grades. Semester % averages will translate
to the following letter grades:
