Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is designed to acquaint students with the major languages of ancient South Arabia, namely Sabaic, Qatabanic, Minaic, and Hadramitic. There will be a heavy emphasis, at least initially, on Sabaic, as this is the best attested of these languages. Students should come out of this course with a basic working knowledge of these languages, including grammar, syntax, morphology, and lexicon, together with an ability to identify the rough time-frame of an inscription based on paleography.
Assessment and permitted materials
At the end of the semester (Friday 20.01.2023 11:30 - 13:00), we will have an in-class exam. This exam will consist of a photograph of a Sabaic inscription. Each student is to translate the text. It is permissible to use any dictionaries or grammars, as well as any power-points from class. More information on the exam will be given towards the end of the semester.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Grading will be based on in-class participation and final exam. The final exam will account for 50% of the grade for the course.The grading system is as follows:5) 0-52: not enough (not keeping up with the homework, homework full of mistakes, poor performance in class and/or on the final exam)
4) 53-65: enough (occasionally turning in the homework, homework and performance in in-class participation and on the final exam indicates some knowledge of the subject, but with much room for improvement)
3) 66-77: satisfactory (keeping up with the homework but without retaining information, homework and/or final exam passable but still not that great)
2) 78-90: good (keeping up with the homework, homework and/or final exam could be improved in terms of certain details but otherwise okay)
1) 91-100: very good (keeping up with the homework, homework and/or final exam has only minor errors, if any)Students who score a 5 do not pass the course.
