Students will learn the grammatical concepts introduced during the course. The semester will focus on nouns, adjectives, strong verbs, and syntactical relationships. Students will employ vocabulary and syntax learned to translate exercises from the textbook as well as the Hebrew Bible. Students will be introduced to appropriate helps to support continued and independent reading of the Hebrew Bible. Page H. Kelley, Biblical Hebrew.
Attendance is recorded daily by means of a sign-in sheet distributed at each class.
Attendance also includes regular attendance at the computer language lab to make us of supportive materials provided there. Active participation in class is an important part of the learning process. Your participation grade will be based on my overall impression of your involvement and participation in the course. While I recognize each student has a unique personal learning style, interaction lies at the heart of the learning experience, so it is important for you to discover and cultivate ways to demonstrate to the professor that you are present, engaged, and processing class materials and discussion. Students will take eight quizzes during the course of the semester covering a variety of grammatical and syntactical concepts introduced in class.
