4 Greek 2 First Semester with Dan Wu and Will Timmins Assessments:
-Regular Quizzes (10%) -Term 1 Exam (30%) -Term 2 Exam (60%) Note: In both exams, all grammar questions will be from your NT2 set-texts. In the 2nd exam you will have to translate an un-seen passage – but any vocabulary you don’t know will be given to you.

5 Greek 2 and Greek 1 Greek 1 is mostly concerned with ‘form’ i.e. learning to identify parts of speech e.g. an Aorist verb, a Genitive noun etc. Greek 2 assumes you can still correctly make these identifications but now considers ‘function’ e.g. why is this verb an Aorist and not an Imperfect?; what does this Genitive actually mean?

6 Greek 2 STUDY Like Greek 1, to pass Greek 2 requires your own study as well as time in class: -Reading the Going Deeper chapter before class -Keeping up with the vocab (on the NT2 LSS) and the on-line quizzes (on the Greek 2 LSS) -Working on exercises -Working in groups together
