Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| Students will obtain a wider vocabulary in NT Greek, an understanding of complex syntax such as is found in the epistles, and an increased capacity to make effective use of grammars, lexica, concordances and the textual apparatus. [The use of reference works will be tested in seminars and by essay.] |
Assessment Information
10% on seminar contributions especially on the effective use of reference tools for Greek.
All students should select one of Greek passages studied and develop a 2000-word essay on it as part of their course assessment (30%). The topic is to be agreed with the course tutor, and must discuss the translation and meaning of the Greek, its parsing and syntax, and variant readings in the text, and show good use of the reference works recommended for the course, as well as discussing issues relating to the content of the passage.
Degree examination worth 60%. This exam will have passages for translation and for comment on the parsing and syntax of the Greek.
