Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
(1) In-Person Participation
Personal attendance required (attendance lists). This applies both to the planned physical classroom teaching and to any necessary digital units.(2) Regular contributions
With regard to active participation, homework is regularly posted on the moodle learning platform. Common aids such as dictionaries, commentaries and translations are recommended for preparation. It should be possible to read the inscriptions independently.(3) Assessment
Permanent active participation in the individual lessons (preparation according to reading information) (30%) Homework (40%). Test at the end of the semester (30%).(4) Implementation
This course is generally taught on-site at the Institute of Egyptology. We reserve the right, however, to change to a digital teaching or examination format if this becomes necessary. If relevant, additional information will be provided in a timely manner.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
(1) In-Person ParticipationThis is a continuous assessment course, the regular participation or attendance respectively is thus a prerequisite.
NOTE: In case of illness (absence), medical certificates must be submitted. All those, who fail to attend more than two units have thus ended their participation and(a) will be assessed negatively if no or no sufficient excuse was provided.
(b) will not to be assessed if attendance or further attendance was impossible for an unforeseeable and unavoidable reason and a (sufficient) excuse was provided (e.g., medical certificate).In the case that the student has been excused for more than two absences, a compensatory performance is to be provided at the end of the semester at the discretion of the course instructor, which will be included proportionally in the assessment of the participation, provided that the student otherwise participates sufficiently in class. Depending on the agreement between the course instructor and the student, this can take the form of an additional oral repetition or another (written) additional performance. If no compensatory work is done, but the work done is sufficient to produce the partial grade, this will be corrected downwards according to mathematical aspects.
In principle, excuses must be submitted in writing and in advance, i.e. before the missed lesson, to the course instructor by emailAll excuse notes must be sent to the course lecturer in advance (before the course unit missed will take place) via email.(2) Regular contributionsParticipation requires independent and consistent preparation of the text passages dealt with in class (transcription, translation) as well as further study of them, which enables participation in class discussions. All materials required for this will be handed out or named in class.(3) Test
A test at the end of the semester covers all the material covered in class, especially reading/transcribing and translating, as well as contextual interpretation of the texts. The assessment is done according to the standard grading system: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 grade
The basic requirement is sufficient participation in the course.
The overall grade is generated from the sub-grades: permanent participation (30%) or the oral repetition; written homework (40%), test at the end of the semester (30%). For a successful completion of the course, sufficient contributions must be made for all partial performances.If the overall mark falls just short of one grade, it is possible to achieve the better mark by means of a voluntary oral repetition.

Objective: Introduction to selected inscriptions and handling of inscriptions from Ancient Egypt, characterisation of inscriptions in a chronological framework, assignment of inscriptions to thematic contexts.Contents
Epigraphy as an auxiliary archaeological science deals with immobile inscriptions, i.e. mostly inscriptions on stone, i.e. stelae, buildings, statues, rocks, etc. (opposite: study of texts on papyri, ostraca, wooden tablets and other mobile text carriers).
Various inscriptions are consulted on the basis of publications. Photographic materials, facsimiles or copies are available. Priority is given to the study of inscriptions on buildings, statues and stone objects.Methods
Exercise with compulsory attendance. Individual inscriptions are read on the basis of documents provided (moodle, copies, photos, facsimile).
Different types of inscriptions will be discussed in order to guide independent study of these important sources for the culture and history of Egypt. Accordingly, a selection of inscriptions will be treated on the basis of facsimiles, redrawings or photographs.
