New Course Placeholder Stack of Books

While Ancient Classical Greek can be intimidating, it can also be very rewarding. The purpose of studying Classical Greek is first and foremost to read and appreciate authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Euripides, and many others. Studying Classical Greek can also illuminate many important and foundational aspects of the literary tradition. 

It is also important to note that students of Classical Greek will also have all the knowledge they will need to read the Greek New Testament, which was written in “Koine” Greek, a simplified version of Classical Greek. It is easier for Classical Greek students to read Koine Greek than for students who have only studied Koine to read Classical Greek texts. Students contemplating Biblical Studies will find many benefits to learning Classical Greek, as it provides vital context and background for understanding the world of the New Testament. 

This course will cover the first 25 chapters of Anne Groton’s text From Alpha to Omega and emphasize building grammatical knowledge and reading fluency. It will also give students a glimpse into the complex and colorful world of the Ancient Greeks. 

NOTE: This course is more difficult than Latin 1 and will require some more technical knowledge (particularly the use of a Greek keyboard), so the minimum age for this course is 14 by Fall 2025.

This course will also require consistency and effort, so make sure that you are prepared to take it seriously and put in the work it requires. To that end, Dr. Phillips would like to request that Classical Greek students take some time before class begins to learn the alphabet. Resources for this will be provided. 

NOTE FOR LATIN AND ANGLO-SAXON STUDENTS: If you are thinking of taking Greek at the same time as Latin and/or Anglo-Saxon, please email Dr. Phillips ([email protected]) and/or Ms. Rogers ()to discuss first. 

 

Greek 1 – Policy Guidelines for Live and Asynchronous Students

Due to the nature of a language class, we will have a slightly different policy on how to accommodate both live and asynchronous students to ensure that all of our students are receiving the full benefits of the class (as much as possible).

There are 2 potential options:

  1. Fully live students. These students will be required to turn in their weekly homework and complete the midterm and final exams. Homework and exams will be made available on Canvas, to be completed on each students’ own time by a certain date. There will be a 1 week window for completing the exam, during which the class will review the material expected on the exams. 
  2. Asynchronous Available upon Discussion with the Instructor. Asynchronous students are still required to complete homework and exams in a modified time frame depending on their situation. Asynchronous students are also encouraged to communicate regularly with the instructor about their progress. 

NB: The instructor will not be taking attendance or participation as a specific grade item. Homework is graded on completion and not correctness. Students will receive corrections and feedback on their homework, but only quizzes and exams will be formally graded.
