Program
The course will be held in two semesters: the first semester will focus on the basic elements of Greek phonetic and morphology; in the second semester the acquired competence will be tested and developed through the reading and analysis of a selection of texts.
Bridging Courses
None.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Students are expected to demonstrate:
1) a basic knowledge of the morphology of ancient Greek;
2) mastery of these elements and ability to apply them in order to perform reading, translation, and comment of Greek texts of middle difficulty level;
3) more particularly, to be able to achieve both an overall understanding of Greek texts at first sight, and to produce an in-depth analysis of the morphological structures of ancient Greek in close reading.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

- Assessment
Oral exam. Students are expected: 1) to demonstrate a good knowledge of the basic elements of Greek morphology, firstly through reading, translation and morphological analysis of the texts explained in the class during the year; 2) to demonstrate a good knowledge of the Greek grammar manual indicated in the program; 3) to demonstrate their ability to understand by translating a simple text in prose at first sight.
In the exam, the three factors listed above will be evaluated, each weighted equally in the calculation of the examination score. The final score will be the average of the scores given in each of the three parts in which the assessment of the preparation is made.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
