Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website. In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via ‘Wattle’ outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.

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

Vocabulary tests (10%)

These short vocabulary tests will be given in the first ten minutes of the class on Wednesdays in weeks 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12. 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 learning new vocabulary and morphology. Completion of these tests is essential to your progress and is a requirement of the course.

Estimated return date: within 2 weeks

Assessment Task 2

Weekly assignments (30%)

These assignments will be taken from Reading Greek and will be listed on Wattle. They must be submitted via Wattle for marking. They will rehearse the material covered in class the previous week and they will be due on Mondays by 5.00pm. These exercises will be judged on their accuracy.

Estimated return date: within 2 weeks

Assessment Task 3

In-class presentation and report (15%)

This 15-minute presentation will be given in class time in week 12. The presentation and 1,000 word report will be on one of the texts that we have read in class, with particular reference to the grammar and syntax of the relevant passage. 

Assessment Task 4

Mid-semester test (15%)

The mid-semester test will be given in Week 6. The test will cover the vocabulary, grammatical forms, exercises and reading from Reading Greek up to the end of week 6.

Estimated return date: within 2 weeks

Assessment Task 5

Final Examination (30%)

The final assessment for the course will be a three-hour examination held during the examination period. I will give you a detailed account of the format of the examination paper in Week 12 of the semester. It will include passages for translation into English (from those studied during the semester); sentences for translation into English and into Greek (all focusing 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.

Students are encouraged to handwrite their assignments, scan them and upload them onto Wattle. Alternatively, instructions for typing polytonic Greek can be found on the course site on Wattle. 

Hardcopy Submission

For some forms of assessment (hand written assignments, art works, laboratory notes, etc.) hard copy submission is appropriate when approved by the Associate Dean (Education). Hard copy submissions must utilise the Assignment Cover Sheet. Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.
