Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course will deal with a selection of Sumerian votive inscriptions from various periods. Grammatical, paleographical and thematic issues will be discussed.
The course's aim is to improve the students' knowledge of Sumerian grammar and paleography, to improve their ability to transliterate Sumerian texts and translate them into a modern language, to enlarge their Sumerian vocabulary and to acquaint them with the most important research tools for working with Sumerian texts. Further, the students shall get an overview of the corpus of Sumerian votive inscriptions.

Assessment and permitted materials

The texts will be read in class; students are required to prepare them accordingly.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The evaluation will depend on the indivual preparation of the texts (transliteration, translation, grammatical analysis) and on the degree and quality of the individual participation in class discussions, further on the results of the tests and on the quality of the homework. Three lessons may be missed; appearing unprepared in class counts as a missed lesson.
If the class is teached online: preparation of the texts/homeworks and participation in class 70 %, tests 30 %.

Examination topics

The texts will be read together (in class or digitally); students are required to prepare them accordingly.
