The teaching methodology of this subject will consist of alternating theoretical explanations of each of the grammatical topics listed in the previous point with the completion of a series of practical exercises that help students retain and become familiar with the basic grammar and vocabulary of the classical Greek language.

The classes will maintain the same division into two groups based on proficiency level (beginner and advanced)—just as in the first-semester course Elements of Greek Language.

The subject will be distributed over sixteen weeks of learning activities. Each week, students will have to dedicate ten hours to the subject, of which 3 hours will be in class and 7 hours of independent personal dedication. It is important that each student distributes the 7 hours of independent personal dedication per week throughout the week and works regularly, independently and responsibly. In total, students will have to accredit 150 hours (6 credits) of dedication to the subject.

Students have access to personalized attention during the professors' tutoring hours.

Teachers will provide all the work material in the subject's Moodle space, where theoretical explanations, grammatical schemes, grammar and lexical exercises and corrections will be uploaded, as well as the texts being studied, which will be uploaded in one or more dossiers.

Given that numerous scientific studies show that reading on paper improves understanding and memorization of content, facilitating critical reflection, it is strongly recommended that all materials available on the Virtual Campus be printed and that activities and exercises are always worked on on paper. On the other hand, the use of digital devices (tablets or computers) and mobile phones in the classroom will be restricted to teaching activities.

Regarding the reading of Hippolytus, the teachers will monitor it through supervised activities to ensure that the student has read and understood the work, is able to place it in its production axis and assess its importance in our cultural legacy.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.

ORDINARY EVALUATION

The assessment of this subject will be based on the following activities:

• two translation exams, with morphosyntax exercises and grammatical commentary on texts [20% + 40%].
• a reading exam of Euripides’ Hippolytus [10%].
• Greek reading activities and tests. They can be virtual [10%].
• four objective grammar tests. They will be in-person, monthly, and last a maximum of 30 minutes [10%]
• attendance and active participation in class [10%]. To pass this component, students must have attended at least 80% of the classes and participated actively on a regular basis.

In the event of absence from an assessment activity, students must notify the professor in advance if the absence is planned. If the absence is unforeseen, they must notify the professor as soon as possible. In all cases, an official document must be provided to justify the absence. Since students will be aware of the assessment dates from the start, absences due to travel will not be considered justified.

Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.

Students who fail part 1 can make it up if they pass part 2. If they fail part 2, they will have to make it up even if the course average is passed. The oral tests and the reading control will have to be retaken if the grade is lower than 4 even if the course average is passed.

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

If the tests cannot be taken in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. Homework, activities and participation in class will be done through forums, wikis and/or discussions of exercises through Teams, etc. The teacher will ensure that the student can access it or will offer alternative means, which are available.

Plagiarism

In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

Use of AI

This subject allows the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively in bibliographic search or information search tasks, text correction or translations, at the discretion of the teaching staff. In the case of subjects for philological degrees, the use of translation must be authorized by the teacher. Other situations can be contemplated, always with the approval of the teacher. The student must identify the parts that have been generated with AI; specify the tools used; and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and will result in the activity being evaluated with a 0 and not being able to be recovered, or major sanctions in serious cases.

Grade review procedure

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

REASSESSMENT

To be eligible for the retake, the student must have been assessed on two-thirds of the total assessment activities and must have obtained a minimum average grade of 3.5 in the regular assessment.

It is an essential requirement to get a minimum grade of 5 in each of the exams to pass the subject by ordinary assessment. In case of not reaching this mark, the student will have to take the reassessment exam of the part that is suspended.

The following activities can be retaken: an exam involving text translation and grammatical commentary (40%) and the reading assessment (10%).

The mark obtained in the reassessment will replace the ordinary evaluation in each of its parts. In the event that the reassessment grade is lower than the evaluation grade, the evaluation grade will be maintained.

The reassessment will be considered approved if the weighted average is equal to or higher than 5 points and the grades for each of the reassessment activities have been passed with a minimum of 4 points.
