Background information on the literature, culture and history of Ancient Greece is woven into the subject matter throughout the semester.

For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website. Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Assessment Task 1

Translation and Morphology Exercises

Exercises will be taken from Reading Greek and will be listed on Wattle. They will involve reviewing the material covered in class the previous week, completing exercises and submitting completed work on Wattle by 5pm on Mondays. Exercises will be judged on their accuracy.

Word limit: 1800 words

Value: 30%

Presentation requirements: typed or handwritten exercises are acceptable

Estimated return date: within 2 weeks

Assessment Task 2

Vocabulary Tests

These short tests will be given in the first five minutes of class on Thursdays. The material covered by each test will be listed on Wattle. These tests are intended to ensure that you are keeping up to date with new vocabulary and new morphology. Completion of tests is essential to your progress and is a requirement of the course.

Total time taken: 1 hour

Value: 10%

Estimated return date: within 2 weeks

Assessment Task 3

In-class Presentation and Report

Students will prepare a ten minute presentation to be given in class (in a week nominated by the student) on an aspect of the texts that we have been reading or an aspect of grammar covered in class. Several topics will be suggested but you may also devise one of your own, subject to the approval by the Course Convenor. The presentation will be accompanied by a 1,000 word report to be submitted on Wattle by 5pm on Friday in the week of the presentation.

Total time and length: 10 minute presentation and 1,000 word report

Value: 15%

2. Who were the Amazons? Give a brief account using the key sources. 
3. Aristophanes’ Lysistrata gives the ‘fantasy of female power’ a brief airing before the restoration of normality. Do you agree with this analysis? Give reasons to support your answer.

Examination

The final assessment for the course will be a three-hour examination, conducted during the examination period and worth 30%.

It will include passages for translation into English (from those studied during the semester); sentences for translation into English and into Greek (focussing on the grammar and vocabulary studied during the semester) and questions on grammar. 

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.
