X-period meetings (Thursday 1:00-1:50 p.m.) may be scheduled as needed. If there is interest, I will also gladly meet the class during the X-period to spend more time going over the translation of the assigned texts.
Every Monday, instead of just preparing to translate and review the day's text in class, you will hand in a written, triple-spaced translation of the Greek reading assignment. Monday meetings will include broader discussions of Thucydides' History, as well as sight-readings from related texts or upcoming assignments.
| 3 exams | 60% |
| 6-8 pp. term paper | 20% |
| Participation, Attendance, Written assignments | 20% |
There will be three exams on the reading. These are not cumulative, and the final exam will be in the same format and carry the same weight as the other two. The exams will focus on translation and grammatical understanding, but may also ask for brief accounts of passages' context, literary and stylistic features, etc.
Office Hours. Please blitz me to make an appointment, which can usually be arranged with very short notice if I am in my office. I also encourage you to blitz me as often as you like to ask questions about the Greek or to run your ideas by me.
The Honor Principle. The Honor Principle requires that you guarantee that all work submitted for this course is your own. You may work with others in preparing assignments. Special care must be taken to make specific acknowledgement of any sources used in writing the term paper (see your copy of Sources, Their Use and Acknowledgement). Any time your choice of materials, development of ideas, or form of expression has been influenced by another source (printed or online), you must not only cite that source but make clear to the reader exactly what in your paper is owed to exactly which part of your source. If you ever have any question about the propriety of collaboration or the use of sources, please consult with me.
Disabilities. I encourage students with disabilities, including invisible disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning disabilities, and psychiatric disabilities, to discuss with me, after class or in my office, appropriate accommodations that might be helpful to them. I request that you speak to me by the end of the second week of the term, so that timely arrangements for adjustments or accommodations can be made.
