Class Requirements

Be in class every time, on time, with all assignments prepared. We will have two tests (containing seen and sight passages for translation) and a final exam (on Wednesday, December 8 from 4-7 p.m.) containing seen and sight passages for translation and essay questions. Each student will prepare a 10-page paper; an abstract with bibliography will be due in about the fifth week of the course, a rough draft in the seventh week, and the final draft on the last day of class. Students will be required to participate in a peer-editing process; work on others' drafts will count toward your own final paper grade. Quarter grades will be based on the final paper (20%), tests (25%), final (25%), and class participation and preparedness (30%).

Assignments will also be posted regularly on our assignments page.
