Assessment and permitted materials

At the end of the semester, students will be given a take-home exam. This exam will consist of a photograph of a Sabaic inscription. Each student is to transliterate and translate the text. It is permissible to use any dictionaries or grammars, as well as any power-points from class. No use of the internet is allowed, nor are students to attempt to track down a pre-existing translation of the text. 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 performance in the presentation and final exam. The final exam will account for 25% 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)
