Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
It is the aim of this course to advance the general knowledge of Late Egyptian as acquired in the grammar course (Late Egyptian I). This course will focus on working with texts of the various genres, e.g., texts from daily life, masterworks of Late Egyptian literature etc. This covers, reading, transcribing, translating, analysing, contextualizing and interpreting of the respective Late Egyptian texts as well as the assessment of graphical and philological phenomena in a wider historical linguistic frame.This course will be held as a reading class dealing with texts which have been prepared in advance by the students under the supervision of the course lecturer.
Assessment and permitted materials
(1) Presence
This course will be held as an in-person classe; regular attendance is mandatory and will be checked with the aid of a list of participants.(2) Regular contributions
The 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) Examination
At 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) Implementation
All participants are required to prepare the requested texts individually and on one's own in order to allow the joint discussion of transcription, grammar, translation, contents and a farther-going analysis in a broader cultural and historical context. Actively participating will therefore be an integral part of this course which will be based on the principles of dialogue and discourse which excursus and additional explanations of the course lecturer will complement.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
(1) Presence
This 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 contributions
This covers the individual and independent preparation of all texts dealt with in course (tracription, translation, grammar) 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 examination
The oral examination covers all content of the course (above all transcribing and translating, but also interpreting and analysing texts in context as well as their grammar). 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.(4) Course grade
Sufficient 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 examination in order to improve the course grade.
