Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
(1) In-Person ParticipationThe participation of all attendants will be recorded in presence tables. This holds true for the envisaged in-person classes and the, if necessary, digital alternative.(2) Regular contributionsThe texts made available in advance must be prepared for the course units, the results will be discussed in class.For the individual preparation, all common tools and aids (dictionaries, grammars, commentaries, translations) are permitted and recommended. However, work with the texts must be done on an individual basis (no crude copying!).(3) ExaminationAt the end of the semester, an oral examination will be held which covers the entire contents of the course.During this examination, no tools and aids (no dictionaries!) will be permitted.(4) ImplementationThis cours will as far as possible be tought in in-person classes at the Institute of Egyptology. The same holds true for the oral exam at the end of the semester, which shall take place as an in-person exam.
Should the necessity arise, the course will switch to a digital format for both teaching and examination. In case such sould occur, additional information will be passed along to you in time.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
(1) In-Person ParticipationThis is a continuous assessment course, the regular participation or attendance respectively is thus a prerequisite. All those, who fail to attend more than two units have thus ended their participation and(a) will be graded and marked negatively if they cannot demonstrate reasonably why they were unable to attend the course.
(b) will not be graded and marked at all if they were unable to attend the course due to a severe, inevitable and unpredictable event and if they present (sufficient) proof (e.g., sick note).In case that more than two units are missed, but excuses are reasonable and in case that, apart from that, participation in and contribution to the course are sufficient, an additional task may be offered by the course lecturer according to his judgement in order to compensate the deficits. This compensatory task will contribute to the grading of the section "regular contribution" and will be defined by the course lecturer and the respective student in mutual agreement. It can consist of an additional oral examination or another (written) task which at any rate covers the contents of the course units missed. In case no such compensatory task is achieved but the overall contribution allows for the calculation of a reasonable partial grade, this will be lowered proportionately.All excuse notes must be sent to the course lecturer in advance (before the course unit missed will take place) via email.(2) Regular contributionsThis covers the individual and independent preparation of all texts dealt with in course (tracription, translation) and continuing occupation with evaluation and interpretation in order to be able to participate in discussions. All relevant and necessary materials will be provided in class.(3) Oral examinationThe oral examination covers all content of the course (above all transcribing and translating, but also interpreting and analysing texts in context). Grading and marking will follow a common scheme (example):100%-89% Sehr gut
88%-76% Gut
75%-63% Befriedigend
62%-50% Genügend
49%-0% Nicht genügendMinor deviations therefrom (in particular to the benefit of the participants) reserved. The applicable grading and marking scheme will be given on the examination form.(4) Course gradeSufficient participation in the course is an indespensable prerequisite.The overall course grade will be generated from the partial grades "Regular contributions" and "Oral Examination". Both are of equal relevance and weight (i.e., 50% each). Sufficient contributions to either partial grades must be delivered.The course grade will be communicated prior to its validation in the grading system.In case the course grade is mathematically an intermediate grade, the participant may volunteer an optional oral examnation in order to improve the course grade.

The aim of this course is to impart a basic knowledge of Egyptian inscriptions and selected paleographical and phraseological peculiarities from the Old to the New Kingdom.Contents
As a philological auxiliary discipline, epigraphy deals with inscriptions which are immobile, i.e., mostly on stone (i.e. stelae, buildings, rocks, etc.; opposite: dealing with texts on papyri, ostraca, wooden tablets and other mobile text carriers).Methods
Different types of inscriptions will be discussed and their details analysed in order to encourage independent study of these sources, which are important for the culture and history of Egypt. Correspondingly, for the period from the Old to the New Kingdom, a wide range of inscription types will be dealt with using facsimiles, redrawings or photographs. The focus is on the translation and detailed analysis of these texts.
